2. Mental toughness is a
valuable skill in today’s
challenging world.

3. Most people know how to build
physical strength – but there’s a
lot more ambiguity when it
comes to building mental
strength.

4. The reason is
simple.

5. Your thoughts have
powerful influence over
what you feel and how you
behave.

6. In fact, scientists at the Laboratory of
Neuro Imaging estimate humans have
about 70,000 thoughts per day. That
means you have 70,000 opportunities to
think optimistically or tear yourself
down.

7. While there are many exercises
that can help you become
mentally tough, here are 3 easy
ways to boost mental toughness:

8. 1. Talk to yourself like a trusted friend.

9. As mentioned earlier, our
thoughts have powerful
influence over what we
feel and how we behave.

10. In fact, your inner monologue has a
tendency to become a self-fulfilling
prophecy. Thinking things like, “I will
never get this business profitable,” or
“Things never work out for me,” can
alter your behavior in a way that makes
those predictions come true.

11. Replace these
negative thoughts
with optimistic ones.

12. When you notice yourself
thinking something like, “I can’t
figure this out,” remind yourself
that your thoughts aren’t
necessarily true.

13. Instead, ask yourself, “What
would I have to believe in order
to make this happen?” Then,
focus on what you can do
instead of what you can’t.

14. 2. Take charge of your emotions.

15. Allowing emotions to
control your focus
drains your will power.

16. Emotions are nothing more
than actions signals. These
signals are telling you that
something needs to change.

17. If you are frustrated it’s because
your current strategy isn’t going
to get you to your goal – you
need to change your approach.

18. If you are fearful about your
presentation at the big
conference – you need to
prepare yourself to give an
exceptional presentation.

19. Many emotional issues
stem from a desire to
avoid discomfort.

20. People who fear failure often avoid new
challenges in order to keep their anxiety
at bay. But, avoiding emotional
discomfort is usually a short-term
solution that leads to long-term
problems.

21. Develop an awareness
of how your emotions
impact your focus.

22. And decide to be in control of
your emotions, so that they don’t
control you. Face uncomfortable
feelings head-on and take charge
of your focus.

23. Embracing discomfort will
give you more confidence
and you’ll gain the ability
to face new challenges.

24. 3. Behave productively despite the circumstances.

25. It’s impossible to feel
mentally tough when you’re
focused on circumstances
you cannot control.

26. Your life doesn’t just “happen.” It is
designed by you, whether you know it
or not. The choices, after all, are yours.
You choose happiness. You choose
sadness. You choose decisiveness.
You choose ambivalence. You choose
success. You choose failure.

27. Just remember that every moment,
every situation, provides a new
choice. It gives you a perfect
opportunity to do things differently
to produce more positive results.

28. Build Mental
Toughness

29. Everyone has the
ability to be
mentally tough.

30. But developing mental
toughness requires
resilience and optimistic
thinking.

31. With focus, you’ll develop the
awareness needed to regulate your
thoughts, control your emotions,
and behave productively despite
your circumstances.

32. Learning how to flex your
mental muscles is the key
to reaching your greatest
potential in life.

33. Whether your goal is to become a
professional athlete or a successful
entrepreneur, or an outstanding
parent – mental strength will help
you achieve your goal.
