Everyone has the ability to build mental strength, but most people don’t know how. We spend a lot of time talking about physical strength and physical health, but much less time on mental strength and mental health. We can choose to perform exercises that will help us learn to regulate our thoughts, manage our emotions, and behave productively despite our circumstances. No matter what your goals are, building mental strength is the key to reaching your greatest potential.
In this session we will watch Amy Morin’s TEDx Talk, and dive deeper into the presented concepts of:
- 3 Types of Self-Limiting Beliefs That Will Keep You Stuck in Life.
- 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do.
Facilitated by:
Tracy A. Mendolia-Moore, MA Ed
