By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.

There are many recurring themes as our online community grows in dealing with stress. One dimension I see is resiliency. It's known as the "bounce back factor" or "emotional buoyancy." So, help me again with your insights.

What is it about some folks who can seemingly get hit in the head with a baseball bat ... or a hockey stick in Minnesota ... and pop back up?

A stressful situation slams you and you wonder, "Did this really happen, or will I wake up to what was just a bad dream?"

But you still get up, suit up, head back to the workplace or your personal life and give it your best shot.

How do you do that?

Dr. Ed
