Every stressor alters our resilience calibration, with both significant and minor stressors playing a role. While many stressors can deplete us, others can help us develop a higher baseline of resilience. This concept is supported by hormesis, which explains how the right intensity and duration of stress can enhance health and well-being. Stress also triggers complex cellular responses where cells shift from growth to maintenance, ultimately leading to healthier cells and improved resilience in facing future stresses.
Every stressor, whether physical, psychological, or environmental, shifts our set point. While some stressors indeed deplete us, others help us build a higher set point and net resilience.
The goal isn't just to bounce back after discomfort; it's to build toward a higher level of human potential, as demonstrated by hormesis, the science of stress and resilience.
