Well done on completing the test!
Now follow the two simple steps described below:
1. Identify your lowest scores, and consider what is stopping you from being at your best.
1.
I reflect on my diet, exercise and sleep, and plan to make daily improvements in these areas.
Good diet, sleep and exercise habits help your brain to work properly which is the foundation of Resilience.

2.
At the end of the day, I always reflect and highlight what went well, and what I can improve tomorrow.
Our A.P.E. (Alive, Perceived, Energy) Brain's first instinct is to focus on the negatives, so developing positive reflection habits is essential for improving Resilience.

3.
At the end of every week, I reflect on what went well, and plan how I can improve next week.
Our A.P.E. Brain's first instinct is to focus on the negatives, so developing positive reflection habits is essential for improving Resilience.

4.
From time to time, I think about my future, and set long-term, medium-term and short-term goals to focus my efforts and achieve major objectives.
Our A.P.E. Brain is only interested in the next 10 mins, so we can use structured goal-setting to boost focus, persistence and Resilience.

5.
I perform well under pressure.
Our A.P.E. Brain's first instinct is to focus on the negatives, and predict what might go wrong. Pressure can intensify this instinct and make being Resilient more difficult.

6.
I recognise when I am stressed and successfully plan to reduce my stress.
We cannot stop ourselves becoming stressed, but we can learn how to manage stress better and become more Resilient.
8
7.
I monitor my confidence levels and successfully build up confidence in areas where it is low.
Our A.P.E. Brain's first instinct is to focus on the negatives, which means we can doubt ourselves and beat ourselves up too much, making it more difficult to be Resilient.
8
8.
I recognise when my emotions are unhelpful and can successfully keep them under control.
Our A.P.E. Brain's first instinct is to focus on the negatives, so developing emotional regulation habits is essential for improving Resilience.

9.
I successfully plan to improve my productivity levels.
Our A.P.E. Brain's second instinct is to look for short-term gratification. Mentally challenging work does not give us fast rewards, which is why we procrastinate. Learning how to be Resilience makes people more efficient and effective with their time.

10.
I successfully plan to spend less time dwelling on unhelpful thoughts.
Our A.P.E. Brain's first instinct is to focus on the negatives, so developing emotional regulation habits is essential for improving Resilience.

11.
I successfully plan to improve my performance as a leader.
Outstanding Leadership is about being excellent at influencing your own and other people's behaviour. Resilience is the foundation of this.
