How do you build resilience as an adult?

Just this really.

I have very little resilience.

I'd like to take up jogging, but it's too hard. I want to learn to knit. I've just managed a few stitches with the help of youtube - add another needle and now it looks hard so I've just stopped. Parenting - I enjoy it when it's good. I hate it the second it gets tough. I literally can't do it.

How does anyone learn resilience as an adult? I literally have none!

You guys are all really awesome, thank you. The boys are 1y2m, and 2y2m, so I've been through a pretty tough time lately.

I've arranged with my friend to escape one weekend that my husband is home so we can go and buy sports kit and I've managed to perfect my first run of stitches on the first needle - I now just need to be able to do something with that!

I think my problem is there's never anything I particularly want to do. I have no particular career in mind, no real hobbies that I fancy. I literally waste all of my spare time on MN. It's just a waste of a life.
