When you have a tougher mentality, you’ll mentally and emotionally feel better overall. You are able to cope better with stressful and overwhelming seasons in your life. You’re more capable of handling fear and doubt because you have the mental fortitude to deal with them. Want to learn how to become mentally tougher? I’m gonna let you in on some secrets to do so.

Number 1: Get an emotional trashcan:

Negative thoughts are often what bar you from where you want to be. Negative thoughts can fill you with dread and anxiety, and wind up emotionally harming you. Mental strength is hard to develop when you have a negative mindset. One solution to this would be to get an emotional trashcan. The point of having this trashcan is so that you can throw away your doubts, worries, and fears to gain better respite and mental clarity. You could try journaling, or find a creative outlet for your emotions, or reach out to a therapist. Trashing those bad thoughts and dealing with them in a healthy manner gives you a chance to process them, and get to a resolution. With a clearer and more positive mindset, it will be easier for you to focus on what you want and where you want to be.

Number 2: Acknowledge and use the power of choice:

Let me let you in on a secret, there is no such thing as the right choice. Choices that are honest and in tune with what you want or need at that moment are considered to be the right choice for you. The right choice is dependent on where you want to go and how you want to get there. If you find yourself feeling uncertain or unclear, make a list of your present goals. Figure out what you’re willing to let go of, especially if you know that it doesn’t serve you. And what you’re grateful for and what you truly want to focus on.

Number 3: Do the difficult things first:

Life gets messy and sticky, and sometimes we can find ourselves in some pretty bad situations. Everyone, at some point has run away from something difficult. It’s perfectly normal to want to run away when things get harder and more difficult for you. It can feel overwhelming and impossible, like climbing over a mountain. But sometimes, in order to move forward, we have to figure out how to get through those difficult times. You certainly don’t have to do it alone. Find a support group that’ll be able to provide comfort, support and strength for you. There are people that can walk with you through this difficult time and help you to safely reach the other side of the mountain.

Number 4: Exercise:

Even though physical exercise is mostly for your physical benefit, it has mental benefits too. Physical exercise helps you establish discipline. The discipline of the mind is necessary for developing your mental toughness because that helps you build consistency. When you’re steadfastly committed to building up your mental fortitude, negativity has a harder time of tripping you up. Regular exercise gives you sense of routine, consistency, and the added benefit of providing a healthy outlet for your emotions and stress.

Number 5: Learn how to lose gracefully:

Despite how unpleasant it might be, failure can be the ultimate teacher. When you’re dealing with failure, sometimes the resulting anxiety and stress can weigh you down. This keeps you from learning from your mistakes, whatever the lesson might be. Take the time to sit with your thoughts and work through the feelings that you’re experiencing. Ask yourself, “What is the lesson here “and how do I move forward?” Once you’re able to take accountability for yourself, it’s easier to move forward and not make those same mistakes a second time.

Number 6: Practice gratitude:

Sometimes it can be easier to focus on the negative things around you. But practicing gratitude increases your overall happiness, reduces depression, and helps you override negative thought patterns. When you focus on what to be thankful for, you’ll find happiness and lightness take hold within your heart. Being grateful and having an open heart helps you to focus on your goals and dreams so you can go forth and achieve them.

Number 7: Let go of things you cannot control:

It is tempting to want to control everything yourself, especially when things start going downhill. But, eventually, something has to give. When things go wrong, ask yourself, “Is this something I can solve? “And if so, how?” What is your role in the process of achieving a solution? Learning to let go of things that are out of your control will make you feel less stressed and help you have a clear mind.
