Mental toughness — or the ability to persevere through mentally-challenging situations, emotions, and more — is a valuable skill to acquire. When you’re mentally tough, you’re able to work through situations that can threaten your emotional and mental well being.
Practice your sense of resiliency when faced with a difficult situation.
Resilience, or the ability to quickly “bounce back” after facing a setback or difficult situation is an important habit to have if you want to develop more mental toughness. Practice “bouncing back” after something bad or negative happens instead of staying stuck in tough emotions (like fear, anger, resentment,despair). Resilience is like a muscle — the more you work it, the stronger it becomes. When faced with difficult circumstances, cultivating resilience can help you manage and even overcome the challenge. Developing resilience requires an understanding of how to cope in difficult moments and the ability to recognize opportunities for growth.
Develop a mantra.
Using mantras is another great habit for developing mental toughness. Mantras, or short phrases you can repeat to get your thoughts realigned with your main focus or goal, are excellent to use anytime you’re struggling to keep your mind and spirit on the right track.
Some examples of good mantras you can use to work through a challenging situation include…
- I don’t break, I bend.
- I’ve been through tough situations before, and I can do it again.
- I have the power to do good.
- I can make smart financial choices.
- Small progress is still progress.
Reach out to your support system when you need extra help.
There is never any shame in asking for help when you need it. In fact, knowing when to reach out to another person for support is one of the best things you can do to sharpen your sense of mental toughness. Asking for help can be challenging — sometimes, it makes you feel like you are being weak. In reality, leaning on your support system is a great way to fortify your mental and emotional health, especially in times of hardship.
Speak to yourself with kindness.
The way you speak to yourself has the power to greatly affect your overall mental health.Get into the habit of speaking to yourself with kindness — doing so is one of the best, most positive ways to make yourself mentally tougher. Even when the world seems like it is against you, if you feel like you can trust yourself to show yourself kindness, you can work your way through any situation, no matter how difficult it may be.
Remind yourself that you are worthy no matter what anyone else may think or say. The most important opinion is your own, and it should always be positive.
Remind yourself that making mistakes and failing is normal and perfectly okay.
Mistakes and failures are going to happen. Experiencing them is a totally normal (although uncomfortable) part of human life. Get into the habit of reminding yourself that it is okay to make mistakes and fail. Even though it doesn’t feel great when it happens, it’s not unusual. Life will eventually move forward — and it will move forward again quicker if you develop mental toughness by accepting failure and mistakes as a normal part of living.
