The human brain is a highly sensitive receiver which takes in millions of stimuli every day, but its ability to process this constant barrage of information varies from person to person.
You might be the sort who finds yourself easily crushed by world events and struggling under the privations of yet another lockdown, or you might feel emboldened and undaunted, able to stay positive and make the best of whatever situation you find yourself in.
The key factor separating those two camps is not genetics or personality, but something entirely different: resilience.

Scientists say this could aid early diagnosis and potentially save lives.
The study found the faecal immunochemical test (FIT), which costs around £4, can pick up traces of hidden blood in faeces.
Researchers said it performs well in patients with low-risk symptoms to quickly and accurately identify who is likely to not have colorectal cancer, and who should be referred for investigation.
Led by the University of Exeter, and supported by the Peninsula and the Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon, and Gloucestershire Cancer Alliances, and by the Cancer Research UK CanTest Collaborative, the study examined data from almost 4,000 patients aged 50 and over.
The study involved all healthcare providers in the south-west of England.
New research has demonstrated that a simple, cheap test can help identify who is at risk of developing colorectal cancer, aiding early diagnosis and potentially

Research into motion sensitivity could lead to improved rehabilitation programmes and an improvement in building designs for people with a rare inner ear condition that affects their balance.
Dr Jessica Tyrrell at the University of Exeter’s Medical School will use the VSimulators research facility at Exeter Science Park to explore the response to different types and degrees of floor motion in people with Meniere’s Disease, condition that can lead to vertigo, tinnitus, nausea and loss of hearing.
