The Science of Developing Mental Toughness in Health, Work, and Life
Steps For Building a New Habit
- Start by building your identity.
- Focus on small behaviors, not life-changing transformations.
- Develop a routine that gets you going regardless of how motivated you feel.
Defining Mental Toughness
Whatever it is, be clear about what you’re going after and tie it to concrete actions. You can’t think your way to becoming mentally tough, you prove it to yourself by doing something in real life.
Mental Toughness And Small Wins
Mental toughness needs to be worked to grow and develop. If you haven’t pushed yourself in thousands of small ways, you’ll wilt when things get difficult.
Extreme situations test our courage, perseverance, and mental toughness, but so do everyday circumstances. Challenge yourself whenever you can, consistently do what you know you’re supposed to and don’t let your brain’s laziness control you.
