MENTAL TOUGHNESS

"YOU ARE GREATER THAN ANYTHING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU" Garret J. Braunreiter

THE FOLLOWING ARE 9 TIPS TO MASTERING MENTAL TOUGHNESS.

#1 Listen to the experts – read about courageous success stories, where they overcome tremendous obstacles and while reading you will realize they are just like you. So if they can do it, why can't you.

#2 No pain, no gain vs. pacing, patience and persistence – this suggests that it is myth that you need to go through emotional or physical pain to succeed, realizing that failure or handicaps didn't prevent others from succeeding you gain more confidence to pursue your goals.

#3 What's next? Thinking – giving your-self solution-oriented feedback, asking what to do to fix the problem, keeping a journal helps to keep track of daily accomplishments.

#4 Get comfortable with the unfamiliar – change-up your daily routine, by taking a different route around town, work-out a different location, this will help prepare you for diverse environments with greater calm and confidence.

#5 Think and speak well of your health – here you being asked to lessen the value placed on minor aches and pains and not them become your main focus

#6 Don't be a victim of ads and fads – when looking in to ads make sure what impresses you also meets your criteria, and satisfies your concerns.

#7 Hang out with people – who achieved or are actively pursuing similar goals to yours. Avoid socializing with others that have relatable unresolved problems

#8 Focus on desired results – "do what is necessary NOW. Be in the present." By turning your focus to the here and now, and not on the past or the future you eliminate 2/3 or your worries.

#9 Expect the unexpected – you do not have control of others or what nature throws at you, you can however control your reaction and anticipate and prepare the beat you can.
