Everyone has the ability to increase resilience to stress. It requires hard work and dedication, but over time, you can equip yourself to handle whatever life throws your way without adverse effects to your health.

Proactively working to develop mental strength increases your resilience to stress and reduces the toll it takes on you both physically and mentally.
