โข Your resilience capacity can be thought of as the amount of energy you have stored in your inner battery.
โข The greater your capacity and your resilience, the more energy you have available.
โข Having more energy gives you greater ability to self-regulate your emotions and behaviours so you can choose how to respond rather than react automatically.
โข Learning and applying the coherence techniques can increase your energy reserves, thereby increasing your resilience capacity.
โข Plugging energy โleaksโ throughout the day so you donโt waste energy is key in building and sustaining your resilience. Getting enough sleep to recharge your inner battery is also essential in building your resilience.

Youโve likely experienced times when you feel you donโt have much energy and may have used phrases like โIโm running on fumes,โ or โIโm drainedโ to describe the feeling of being tired. Itโs common that when your energy is low and you feel drained, it can be difficult to think clearly, perform tasks well and bounce back, all of which are good indications that your resilience is low.

HeartMathโs definition of resilience is a broader understanding of resilience: ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ, ๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.
A key word in the definition is ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, which is how much of some thing you have. You can think of your current resilience capacity as the amount of energy you have stored in your inner battery. Itโs how much energy you can draw upon to handle your daily challenges and tasks. Resilience is the energy you have available to use not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When you have a high level of resilience or a fully charged inner battery, you have greater capacity to remain calm, think clearly and be in control of your emotions so you donโt overreact.

When you are resilient, you are better able to bounce back and recover faster after challenging situations. This helps offset much of the lingering wear and tear that affects not only you, but the people around you too.
By building your resilience youโll be better prepared, adapt more quickly, make smarter decisions and remain clear in situations that arise throughout the day. Having greater resilience doesnโt mean you will not find yourself in difficult situations. What it does mean is youโll have an internal capacity that will give you the ability, energy and resolve to handle whatever comes up.
On the other hand, similar to a drained car battery making it impossible to start your car, when your inner battery is depleted, there isnโt energy to draw from when you need it, making it difficult to be your best and respond well in tough, and often, in very ordinary situations. You also may end up draining even more energy.
A key in building and sustaining resilience is managing how you spend and renew your energy. The goal is to not waste energy unnecessarily and to effectively replenish your energy reserves.
Learning and applying coherence techniques can build your energy reserves, giving you more energy to draw from when you need it. If you do not monitor and manage your energy, you can become depleted, making it more difficult to handle daily situations well.
Plugging energy leaks also is important in building and sustaining your energy reserves. Greater reserves enhance your ability to maintain your mental focus and clarity and your emotional composure throughout the day.
A very important way to renew energy and recharge your inner battery is by getting enough uninterrupted, regenerative sleep. Sleep is one of the most basic ways the body renews its energy levels. Sometimes though, itโs difficult to get a good, rejuvenating sleep. The techniques you will learn can help you gain more of the benefits of sleep.
