“HOW TO DEVELOP MENTAL TOUGHNESS? WHY SHOULD YOU? How often have you heard the phrase “mental toughness” applied to athletes and thought that it doesn’t apply to you? If they need it to win a race, then how much more important is your entire life? If you want to get what you want and have a healthy and active life, you’ve got to develop plenty of mental toughness. People go to the gym to develop physical strength, but pay scant attention to the mental strength. Just as repetition of exercise builds muscle, fitness, flexibility and stamina, repeated mental exercise buffs up your mental toughness. If you don’t train your mind, you’ll never control your life, reach your full potential, and have fun along the way. They only way to develop mental toughness is with maximum reps. HERE’S HOW: ●Don’t postpone happiness or the ability to effect changes until after you have reach your goals. You will be waiting a long time. “As soon as I get that… I will do this…” ●Set clear and detailed goals and break them down into long-term, short-term and daily goals. Motivation comes from having plenty of good reasons for doing something. If you can’t come up with a good reason your wasting your time. ●Pace yourself. Being consistent, regardless of the context, produces better results than a quick burst of activity followed by burn out or a bender. ●Put in good work. Whatever your goal, practice does not make perfect — only good practice does that. Give your full attention to the matter in hand. Concentrate on the process, not the outcome. If you work or train all day thinking about how good it will feel when you’ve finished, you will slack off and open a can of beer too early — you know what we mean. ●Focus on what you want to happen, not what your afraid will happen. ●Recognize that negative thinking has absolutely no positive benefits (that’s why it is called “negative”) ●Be willing to change tactics if you aren’t achieving the desired results. Insanity is repeating the same action and expecting a different outcome. ●Ask yourself: “What would I do in this situation if I couldn’t fail?” ●Force yourself to act positively — bodily and mentally. If it makes your feel like a fake, then it’s a clear sign that you really need to act positively. ●Forget about the past and concentrate on the present. The best way to repeat mistakes is to worry about repeating them. Learn from mistakes, then forget them and move on. ●Respond to challenges with discipline rather than punching holes in your furniture. ●Accept that results take time; they will come, but not immediately. That said, success doesn’t have to be a hard, painful slog. Put in the work and commitment, and success has a habit of creeping up on us when we are least expecting it — don’t reject opportunities for success because they feel too easy.”
