You\u2019re working on a potential ground breaking project, but somehow you\u2019ve made several unsuccessful attempts to reach those desired results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing\u2019s quite working out for you, and now you are in complete despair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In times of crisis when there\u2019s no hope, ‘resilience’ can become a savior. It\u2019s the very key to all your real problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog guides you through a simple rule that can help you work with emotional intelligence at a time when you are on the brink of giving up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How resilience can help cope with failures?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The ability to recover from, or adjust easily to misfortune or change is called resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the magic spell that fixates things for you when it seems almost impossible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How resilience works?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resilience preserves your sanity and enables you to see new paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A simple rule called \u201cAdapting to Change<\/strong>\u201d is a resilience powered principle that works through when you are in an abysmal spiral of problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does adapting to change means?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing your approach as per the situation, ensued from dwelling on sound strategies, is what we mean when we say \u2018adapting to change\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au contrary, sticking to just a single path reduces resilience. You lose a vast majority of hidden possibilities when you refuse to look outside the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take an example scenario wherein you are stuck in a project that, so far, unsuccessfully reaches its desired results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a resilient engineer<\/strong> you would take a sequential approach something as similar as this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- Taking a break.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first. Drink some water, wash your face, and try to breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While feeling anxious is completely normal, it\u2019s important to turn back to a normal thinking state to plan your next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- Thinking of options.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that your blood pressure is normal again, it\u2019s the optimal time to sit down and think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would ask yourself a single fundamental question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the best thing I can do to secure my victory? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Maybe I should seek help from experts?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    1. Maybe I need to improve my coding skills?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. Maybe I need to dig deeper in the concept so that I can rebuild my ideal project?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        A successful engineer =  seeking + skill building + learning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Seeking social support<\/strong> is tremendous when working on projects. You can\u2019t do it all alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Look around you and search for those who can offer expert advice for your project. Don\u2019t hesitate to wisely invest your resources if it\u2019s worth the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Meanwhile, it\u2019s as important to gain expertise<\/strong> yourself as it\u2019s to seek from others. If a lack in your skills is the problem, simply take time to invest in the skill itself. Plan your 24 hours wisely, invest your time in learning the required skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Finally, a strong foundation and understanding<\/strong> of what you\u2019re dealing with is compulsory, and frankly speaking, a lot of people don\u2019t realize the fact that digging deeper into the functioning of things can change a lot for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        3- Prioritizing your options. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Once you are done with the brain storming, the resulting options that are available at your disposal should be prioritized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Carefully plan your strategy and sort each one based on how well it can serve your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        4- Applying.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Now it\u2019s time to apply each solution. Remember to take feedback and adjust accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Lastly, repeat from step 1 if you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        A few words on how to improve resilience.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Adaptability, as a dimension of resilience (which we discussed above), is just a single component, and there are five other dimensions of resilience that can shape your emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        These are the:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Optimism<\/strong>: How much hope do you see in times of crisis?<\/li>
        2. Self-esteem<\/strong>: How much regard do you have for yourself?<\/li>
        3. Perseverance<\/strong>: How much are you willing to try again and again?<\/li>
        4. Assertiveness<\/strong>: Do you remain calm and composed when defending your point of view?<\/li>
        5. Unbiasedness<\/strong>: Do you unnecessarily favor some elements?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Developing an emotional awareness of these, and managing your emotions can help you overcome feelings of despair in testing times (ultimately improving your emotional quotient EQ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Knowing the feeling, assessing the impact of responding in a specific way, and deciding a constructive path is an act of \u201cmanaging emotions\u201d, states an acclaimed writer Mark Manson<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You may find out which dimensions you think lack in you and those that you feel are strong. Focus on one component at a time, and improve from first to the next. Within sometime you will see, your mental capacity in uncertain times has improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
