People with mental resilience know that they will never stay somewhere that isn’t good enough for them, whether they are not respected enough or that they are made to think that they are not good or worthy. If you have no problem feeling worthless and resentful, you’re welcome to stay on this path – but know that people with mental strength wouldn’t put up with it for a single moment.
7. Say “No” without hesitation
If your intuition says something is wrong, then something is wrong! People with mental strength know clearly that they have the option of rejecting anything that doesn’t suit them or that doesn’t work in their favor. Therefore, if you realize that something isn’t right for you, don’t start filling your head with ridiculous hesitations and claims, just say “no”! Refusing will help you stop wasting your time on stupid things and will allow you to set your priorities wisely and effectively. If you don’t enjoy the company of some people, for example, stay away from them doing so will allow you more time to spend with your loved ones.
8. Remove toxic and negative people from your life
Following the previous advice, once you learn to be clearer with those around you, it will be much easier to refuse to be close to those who don’t contribute positively to your well-being. Of course, it’s easier said than done, but it’s completely possible! Negative, manipulative and toxic people will remain in your life as long as you continue to give them what they want. Whether it’s your money, your company or your car, at the end of the day such people will take your time, your attention and of course your energy. The price is too heavy for your soul, and to be honest, there’s no need or reason to pay it.
9. Assess yourself and don’t wait for external approval
In order to develop and strengthen your mental resilience, you must evaluate yourself for your achievements or experiences. If you judge yourself solely according to the opinions of others, you’ll only and up doing harm to your mental health. Just make sure that self-assessment doesn’t turn into self-flagellation because being too hard on one’s self is never a good thing. Praise yourself as much as possible, move forward, aspire for more and it won’t take long before you notice your strength growing and filling you.
Now all you have to do is try it yourself …
Instead of trying to deal with all these suggestions and thinking about how to incorporate them in your life, simply consider them as gradual steps that will provide you with mental strength. Walk through them slowly, take baby steps, and choose how to incorporate them into your life, in what order and in which ways. Remember: you must build the appropriate infrastructure to carry the positive change that will occur in your mind. Taking time, and having patience will pay off.
