13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t DO.
The results are impressive. In this book, we learn to identify the 13 common habits that hold us back in life and how to avoid them. We go to the gym to build up our physical muscles but we haven’t yet thought about mental strength: the real key to a more productive and meaningful life.
This revolutionary book shows you-
How To all who strive to become better today than they were yesterday.
It’s not that people are either mentally strong or mentally weak. We all possess some degree of mental strength, but there’s always room for improvement. Developing mental strength is about improving your ability to regulate your emotions, manage your thoughts, and behave positively, despite your circumstances. Just as there are those among us who are predisposed to develop physical strength more easily than others, mental strength seems to come more naturally to some people.
There are several factors at play to determine the ease at which you develop mental strength:
• Genetics
Genes play a role in whether or not you may be more prone to mental health issues, such as mood disorders.
• Personality
Some people have personality traits that help them think more realistically and behave more positively by nature.
• Experiences
Your life experiences influence how you think about yourself, other people, and the world in general.
Obviously, you can’t change some of these factors. You can’t erase a bad childhood. You can’t help it if you are genetically predisposed to ADHD. But that doesn’t mean you can’t increase your mental strength. Anyone has the power to increase mental strength by devoting time and energy to the self-improvement exercises throughout this book.

THE BASIS OF MENTAL STRENGTH
Imagine a man who feels nervous about social situations. To minimize his anxiety, he avoids starting conversations with his coworkers. The less he speaks with his coworkers, the less they initiate a conversation with him. When he enters the break room and passes people in the hallway without anyone speaking to him, he thinks, I must be socially awkward. The more he thinks about how awkward he is, the more nervous he feels about starting conversations. As his anxiety increases, his desire to avoid his coworkers also increases. This results in
a self-perpetuating cycle.
To understand mental strength,
you have to learn how your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are all intertwined, often working together to create a dangerous downward spiral as in the preceding example.
This is why developing mental strength requires a three-pronged approach:
1. Thoughts
Identifying irrational thoughts and replacing them with more realistic thoughts.
2. Behaviors
Behaving positively despite the circumstances.
3. Emotions
Controlling your emotions so your emotions don’t control you.
We hear it all the time: “Think positive.” But optimism alone isn’t enough to help you reach your full potential.

CHOOSE BEHAVIOR BASED ON BALANCED EMOTIONS AND RATIONAL THINKING
Increasing your mental strength isn’t about simply reading this book or declaring, that you’re tough. Instead, it’s about incorporating strategies into your life that will help you reach your full potential. Just like you need to work to maintain your physical strength, mental strength requires ongoing maintenance. And there is always room for improvement. If your mental muscles aren’t being maintained
or strengthened, they’ll begin to atrophy.
No one is immune to making mistakes and having bad days.
There will be times when your emotions get the best of you, times when you believe thoughts that aren’t true and times when you engage in self-destructive or unproductive behavior. But those times will grow fewer and farther between when you’re actively working to increase your mental strength.
