Flexibility
Flexibility is a mental-intellectual characteristic suggesting adaptability, curiosity, creativity, and the ability to be open to new possibilities, all of which is helpful in navigating through challenging circumstances.
Emotional Stability
Emotional Stability is an affective-emotional attribute and when present enables an individual to manage their emotions such that they can still think clearly and behave rationally without becoming emotionally reactive. Too much emotional reactivity can lead to actions and consequences that result in increased stress.

Self-Efficacy is a directional-motivational component that informs an individual’s willingness to take on challenges, learn new things and aspire to successful outcomes. When present, self-efficacy instills a sense of confidence, optimism, and the belief that “I will succeed in overcoming adversity.” When this is present the individual feels strong enough to take on the challenge.
