Resilience strategies can be tested and strengthened during UPSC prep by implementing a mix of stress management techniques and establishing a support system. Aspirants should engage in activities that foster mental well-being, such as regular exercise, meditation, or pursuing hobbies. Setting small, achievable goals can help manage feelings of overwhelm, providing a sense of accomplishment. Simulating challenging study sessions can help build tolerance to stress. Maintaining a reflective journal allows aspirants to identify stressors and develop strategies to cope effectively, enhancing overall resilience.
