Good mental habits and a positive view of life allow mental strength to develop. You can become much stronger than you think.
Engaging in negative self-talk
Negative self-talk is where your undoing begins. It drains your spirit and your confidence. Imagine having someone that followed you around all day and whispered negative things into your ear incessantly. It would drive you crazy. Negative self-talk also drives you crazy.
Work on keeping your mind in one of two modes: you’re either concentrating on your current task, or your mind is quiet. It takes practice. Start practicing.
Repeating mistakes
Mistakes quickly become habits. You have a friend that keeps dating the wrong guys. You have another friend that always procrastinates until the last minute and repeatedly suffers for it.
Review your mistakes each day and vow not to repeat them. You’ve already figured out that your method didn’t work. Be smart and try something else next time.
Giving up when faced with discomfort
Mentally weak people give in to discomfort quicker than those that are mentally strong. Dealing with discomfort can prevent you from spending money you shouldn’t. It can stop you from binging on ice cream and ruining your diet.
Real success is hiding behind some discomfort. The more you can tolerate, the more successful you can become.
You can grow your mental strength just as you can grow your physical strength, one day at a time.
