Your Mental Strength is an important role with achieving our goals in school, business, health and Life. We started MINDSET because we know you can develop mental toughness but for some it takes a helping hand. So we came up with these KEY steps that are taken by many elite athletes and successful passionate dreamers who achieve their goals.
Mental toughness takes years to truly be engraved. But, when we focus on discipline, accountability, and dedication to the process it can be attainable. Routine and consistency is the foundation of creating mental toughness. We must have muscle memory in our actions, to create true “flow” and allow next level performance. Maintaining our best performance is about consistency. Striving to keep ourselves on track for success is all based on how efficient and productive our routine is. If we control this pillar, we will lay the foundation for mental toughness.
Create values, standards, and morals that set us up for success. These details are the building blocks for maintaining self control and discipline. As well, they keep us from life’s temptations that can lead us astray from manifesting our dreams. Know what is good for your success, and work hard to stay on track. Success takes a working system geared to focusing on the process of the journey.
Diving into our physical body, we must fuel ourselves with the best sources. Natural foods and fresh ingredients, This boosts our immune system, mood, drive and overall performance capabilities. Without this pillar, achieving our best performance is hardly attainable. Therefore, due to nutrition’s big role in hormone production and muscular performance, we can see the mentally toughest individuals focus on fueling smartly.
Furthermore, be willing to push your limits gradually in all aspects of training or growing. Without having some discomfort or pain, our body will eventually reach a plateau. Consistent progressive overload, and focus on training past the point when our body says enough. These are all key components to maximizing our potential. So work hard, get comfortable in uncomfortable situations and slowly raise the bar each day.
15 Ways to Develop Your Mental Toughness:
1) Focus — The direction we cast our energy, is what manifests our reality… We need to be steady in times of hardship or potential challenges. Our focus allows us to not be easily swayed by outside factors trying to derail or mislead us from our path. Keep the focus strong, by dialing in on your passion and your best interests. The crab mentality is real, and many close individuals can fall into this issue. Remember your goals and ambitions, focus will manifests them.
2) Change the perspective — Focus on maintaining clear vision towards your goals and purpose. The world can seem to be going against us at times, and keeping the perspective on the bigger picture, keeps us focused on the necessary little details when trouble comes our way. How we look at situations completely dictates how we react and handle those good or bad times. Remember what you are trying to accomplish, and stay mentally locked-in. “Those who say they can, and those who say they can’t, are both usually right…” It’s all about perspective.
3) Patience — Be willing to slow down and enjoy the moment. Living for the process is what creates our desired journey. Life shouldn’t be a destination… As well, understand this… nothing fast will last, it takes time to truly create what we are trying to achieve. Would it be the same happiness if it came overnight? Compared to, a long memorable experience of growth and success through lessons and failures. Most elders say to young people, live in the moment and slow down.
4) Control — We are in control of our actions and emotions. We should avoid letting others take our strength. How we manage and respond to these aspects is our real strength. When we control our responses, we can create a better outcome because we make smarter decisions when in control. Many people live compulsively, and this lack of control creates disorder. Control what you can control…
5) Endless Positivity — Stay positive as much as possible. Especially when dealing with negative situations. Elevate others and bring them up to your level. Rejoice and have gratitude towards life. Having this mindset uplifts us and others.
6) Growth Mindset- Be open to learning everyday, and see life half full. This gives us the potential to grow everyday, and make the most of our experiences. We can learn from every situation, and we can learn from every individual we come across young or old.
7) Emotional stability- Make smart decisions under pressure and deliver the same level of performance regardless of what your feeling. We need to be logical and objective with our thinking. Creating our own disorders or “roller coaster” moods, is in our control. We need to be conscious of our emotions, and choose paths that lead us to the best outcomes. Our emotions can deter us from reaching our goals or completing important tasks. Take pride in balance and stability.
8) Self-validation — Don’t worry about pleasing people… Focus on a concentrated approach towards what is right and what you stand for. Work hard in silence and let others watch you grow. Pleasing others is a tireless road. Direct your energy towards your passion and goals.
9) Tenacity- Anything is possible, and never let effort dictate the outcome. Never give up when life gets hard. Resilience is key to enduring difficulties and hardships. Through this ability we will create REAL toughness, and have true inner glory. Our will to endure and keep pushing in all situations is a direct correlation to our mindset.
10) Acceptance- Let go of the things you have no control of. No reason to complain about something out of our hands. We should have control of our attitude and responses in situations in order to effectively maximize our abilities. Understand the importance of forgiveness for others and our selves. No one is perfect, for us to grow we must let go.
11) Attitude towards failure — Seeing failure as just an attempt in learning and growing to be better is vital. The most successful people have failed more than most people have attempted. That’s how much it takes to create true success. Loving the process and enjoying the journey, will create better outcomes and less resentment towards failure.
12) Preparation- Failing to prepare is preparing to fail… When we properly prepare, we allow for higher confidence in our judgements and actions. Better to measure twice and cut once. It is proven to be more efficient. It takes diligent preparation to create a successful foundation. We will reduce unnecessary anxiety if we properly prepare. Their can always be a rainy day, so ensure the proper plans and resources are put in place to overcome those potential hardships or challenges.
13) Detachment — Seeing everything BIGGER than us… This create a better functionality within our environment and opportunities. We tend to do better when we are working towards a team goal. Don’t take things too personally, no need to victimize ourselves. Remember everything is bigger than us, and focus on letting go of the ego. We perform best when we are one with our environment.
14) Stillness — We must be able to remain still in times of unease or restlessness. Stillness allows for our best rationality and problem solving to occur. A still mind can observe, think, and act with purpose and decisiveness. When a mind is unrest, it can re-act compulsively instead of act consciously. The more conscious we can be, the better our life will become.
15) Gratitude — Life is a gift, never forget it… When we realize how much we really have, we completely switch our mood from envy to thankful. Watching what other people have, and trying to compare, will lead us no where. No vanity can create REAL happiness, that comes from within. How many people are praying for the basic needs of life right now?… We in the 1st world are fortunate to be in a privileged society that has such abundance of education, resources, and opportunity. Many will never get this opportunity. Make the most of it…
