Building A Resilience Plan

This free guide gives you a simple, structured way to create your Individual Resilience Plan (IRP): a playbook you design ahead of time so you know exactly how to respond when pressure builds.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Spot your stress state on the continuum (green, yellow, orange, red)

• Name your triggers before they knock you off balance

• Plan if/then actions that keep you steady when you start to slip

• Choose “green behaviors” that recharge your battery and build reserves

• Use connection and support as buffers instead of isolating

• Shift unhealthy coping into healthier, sustainable strategies

What’s inside the guide:

✅ The Stress Continuum Model – Understand your signals & intervene early
✅ Preparing Stage Worksheets – Map your signs, stressors, and green choices
✅ Planning Stage Prompts – Write clear if/then actions you can actually follow
✅ Implementation Tips – Build momentum and make resilience a habit
✅ Green Choices Menu – Ideas across health, connection, creativity, play, and more
✅ Bonus Tools – Numbing behavior check-in + mission statement exercise

This isn’t theory—it’s a plan.
No fluff, no jargon, no “bounce back” clichés. Just a step-by-step framework to help you anticipate stress, act with intention, and stay resilient when it matters most.
