How to Build Your Mental Strength 2022

August 17, 2022



First, realize there’s a difference between acting tough and actually being mentally strong.

Developing mental strength takes practice, and involves overcoming our natural anxieties so we can handle difficult situations. Amy Morin, author of “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do”, says it’s not about making sure you never fail, but telling yourself that you are strong enough to deal with failure when it inevitably happens.

  8. Thank you

  9. Win our mind, any problems doesn't matter.The key is don't trap to a little success or small failure why because there're much more bigger those waiting forward so do a new challenge every day and think that it's a taste of life. Lesson of life rare to find in the class or text book.Life experience is your true book.Though I lost, but my mind not.

  10. I am preparing for GMAT and I am scared of all of it but I will challenge myself to cross 700 mark

  11. Highest quality of management videos! True Gold.

  12. What a lovely thing she said

  13. 1. Deal with anxiety – be mindful of your feelings and deal with false alarms
    2. Get uncomfortable – do things that challenge you
    3. Train your brain to think differently – ask yourself how could I handle my feelings in a healthy way

  14. Awesome…made me feel better ☺️❤️

  15. You're missing the point of utmost importance. Self-awareness and self-evaluation. People who have that, clearly don't call themselves as 'my brain', because if they look in the mirror, they don't see a brain, they see their own faces, either scared, over-conscious or too self-aware. Here is a trick. Live in the moment when it is your forte. Let your logic handle your emotions. But when anxiety kicks in, stop, get a hold of yourself and bring yourself back on the path to your FINAL goal. Understand the bigger picture of your job (No), company (No), Life (Yes).

  16. wow,amazing job,it really made me out of my depression:)

  17. Well explained, once you start training your mind by facing your fears, you see a different version of yourself and self-confidence start to put pile up.

  18. the constant noise in the background.. is it really necessary, or part of the mental strengthening exercise ?

  19. What an insight. Amazing.

  20. I'm here because I have presentation later and trying to prepare 7hrs ahead of time. yes terrifying.

    Very timely! This reminds me of the quote "do one thing that scares you everyday"

  28. Mental strengh : is failing and keeping your head up. Doing what scares you but closing to be brave.
