[edit source]Definition
[edit source]Hardiness is the trait that allows some people to experience hardship and push through and others to experience hardship and fail to move forward. Hardiness is the psychological result of a number of factors. A high level of hardiness is characterized by commitment to self, a large amount of interaction with the world around oneself, control over one’s self (Kobasa, 1979). This can all be summarized by the three C's of hardiness; commitment, control, and challenge (Lamberet & Lambert, 1999).
Firestone (2013) – definitions and example of commitment, control and challenge Commitment – have something that they are commited to – a goal or belief in what they are doing Control – control what they can don’t worry about what they cant/ wont change you or try to control everyone or everything around them Challenege – change is a blessing not a curse/ embrace life with joy and creativity and use change as incentive to grow
The Benefits of Hardiness

- It also has been shown to result in less stress related illnesses. [1]
How to Develop Hardiness
[edit source]- Just like the hardiness of the body the hardiness of the mind can also be developed and built upon.
- Finding a meaningful take away from a stressful situation can make those situations easier and increase hardiness [2]
