Tips To Become Mentally Stronger Through Boosting Your Resilience

Don’t try and “eat” the whole list below. Pick 3 or 4 that situationally apply more to you and your unique circumstances. Work them daily, starting with getting sufficient sleep, exercise and nutrition.

1.Staying focused on your purpose and goals, savoring progress along the way (life is not all about the big wins…keep track of the smaller ones)

2.Consistency in behavior, habits and actions

3.Staying positive and optimistic despite adversity (keeps your brain engaged in the right way)

4.Comfortable with being uncomfortable (when was the last time you grew being fully at ease with the material, skills, etc.?)

5.Perseverance, drive, focus and adaptability (the big four combo that consistently leads to success)

6.Coping with setbacks (life is full of them, get used to it)

7.Saying no to “easy” (in today’s dynamic world, “easy” translates to falling behind)

8.Making sound/rationale in the moment decisions (implies keeping yourself in emotional balance)

9.Ignoring distractions (being immersed in your work, in the zone)

10.Attentiveness to what one can directly control. We have control over far more than we often believe we do.

11. Embracing failure as a learning experience (#TRUTH)
