Research shows 5 major factors or resilience:
1. Accepting reality even if it's hard.
2. Asking for help.
3. Being patient; knowing what feels like forever in the moment is not.
4. Narrative that you'll grow from struggle.
5. Routine—helps to activate and provides predictability.

Preach.
Uncharacteristcally long 🧵 (sorry) re: #Qualitative methodologies, science, and 'AI'.
As Qualitative researchers, we should definitely care and remain curious about what 'good work' can look like - but we should be very wary about assuming that a focus on 'rigour' will address this question. 1/13
