What fuels resilience?

• A. Fatigue
• B. Burnout
• C. Stress
• D. Rejuvenation

Answer: (D)

Resilience hinges on replenishing the resources you rely on to cope with stress. Rejuvenation is the process that fuels this ability by restoring energy, mood, and cognitive resources after a challenge. When you take time to rest, sleep well, engage in restorative activities, connect with supportive people, and regain a sense of meaning, you rebuild emotional energy, sharpen focus, and improve self-regulation. That replenishment makes it easier to handle new stressors, recover quickly, and stay effective under pressure. Fatigue, burnout, and stress drain these resources and hinder resilience, whereas rejuvenation directly replenishes them.
