We all encounter significant challenges in our lives. They may include toxic workplaces, unhealthy relationships, illnesses, or accidents. Mental strength is what enables us to persevere despite the difficulties. Our ambassadors at Royal Inc. admit that building and maintaining this power is tough. It’s all about finding opportunity even when things are bleak. Here is what you need:
Emotional Intelligence: This is the backbone of mental acuity. To be tough on cognitive and emotional levels, you must be in touch with your own feelings as well as how your actions affect others’ feelings. Emotional intelligence is different from IQ. Your IQ is fixed, but with some effort you can improve emotional intelligence.
Boundaries: The fewer boundaries you have, the more burned out you will be. The most mentally strong individuals know they must set limits with others in order to stay healthy and productive. This sometimes means turning down requests for your aid and opting out of taking on more work.
Confidence: In the wise words of Henry Ford, “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t – you’re right.” At Royal Inc., we couldn’t agree more with these words. Your level of confidence has a direct effect on your ability to succeed. Keep in mind that true confidence is in a league entirely different from the one in which people project false assurance just to hide their insecurities.
We hope you grow your mental toughness by honing these qualities.
