How can someone develop a mindset of mental strength in the face of self-doubt or setbacks?

All right, this is one of my favorite questions. How can someone develop a mindset of mental strength in the face of self-doubt or setbacks? It's a process. I think everybody wants to feel that they can have mental strength or have that resilience in that time, even if they've never tested themselves. Can you have it to an extent? Yes. Is it durational? No. That's the biggest thing is that you have to work on that mental strength. And how do you work on that? I think the biggest thing is, and this may sound redundant because you've heard it before, but it's so important. The biggest thing for you to do is put yourself in uncomfortable situations and put yourself in those uncomfortable situations, because that means that you're doing it for a reason. You're doing it because you're passionate about it. It's a purpose. It's a goal. It's something that you set out to do that maybe others don't think is right, or others don't believe that you can do it because nobody else has done it before. Those are the kind of things that you have to set yourself up with to gain that mental strength, to face that self-doubt. With we have mental health, it's to get through those dark moments by yourself for a little bit, but also have that support to be able to go, hey, I did this. I can do this again. I can replicate it. So make sure to train yourself to have that mental strength in those moments that you need it most.

Developing mental strength in the face of self-doubt or setbacks is a process. The best way to do this is to put yourself in uncomfortable situations, face those challenges head on, and focus on the positive outcomes. Also, make sure to have a support system of people who can help you stay motivated and remind you of your successes.

How do you define mental strength, and why is it important?

So this is a great question. I think everybody actually has to define it for themselves and understand why it's important because What I'm defining as my mental strength now is actually different from what I defined it as 10 years ago But my mental strength is a culmination of all of my experiences my thoughts about what life is for myself my journey that I'm going down that I believe is the journey that I need to do and at the same point my mental strength stems from me having to understand my life and owning those aspects of my life that I am good at and owning the aspects of my life that I'm bad at and from there that mental strength is Really that cornerstone for you? enjoying each day It's simple as that mental strength is You enjoying each day each minute being engaged in your own life. That is so important to me to have that mental strength to be able to pursue what I've always wanted to do and Be there for my family be there for my kids and be there for others who I? Love to be able to impact as I go through my journey of life

Mental strength is a combination of experiences and thoughts that allows one to pursue and enjoy life while being there for loved ones.
