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.

Every person goes through worst experience in life. It is different from person to person and varies People can have one or multiple bad experience to them. When i said worse experience. I think about life put u down to the ground where u think u cannot seem to go back up. That is a way of life testing us if we can make it back to the path again. Some people fail - those are the people who die than to live , commit the act of dying and succeeded and some people survive and found their way back in life.

Summary: If you wanna become mentally 💪💪🔥🔥 strong ,you have to do two things and the order matter : let's start with the first one : you've to identify your bad beliefs and get rid of all of them The second ones : is to replace these bad beliefs that holding you back with the healthy ones Examples of the bad beliefs: 1- when we think and say "why these terrible things always happen to me ,why me " 2- thinking like others , government, parents,boss ... Control our life and we start blaming others instead of focusing how to get out from the situation 3- we think the world 🌎 owe to us : Like if i'm a good guy and work hard so I'll be successful and get all the nice things .... The world is random If you like the summary please click the l👍👍👍

I watched halfway through this video and her words really inspired me. I realized that it’s unhealthy how I’ haven’t talked to my boyfriend about how toxic our relationship has gotten lately, and it’s been so hard on me. So I paused the video and sent him a text and we finally talked about it, after almost a month of me overthinking this everyday. We broke up. And while that’s sad, it’s also liberating. Because now I can finally move on. Thank you so much for this video and for your words, they really helped me 🙏🙏 also sending big hugs to anyone that’s going through a rough time right now

To become mentally strong we must maintain mental hygiene: get rid of bad mental habits like complaining, envy, destructive self attacks and adopt healthy mental habits like gratitude, compassion and positivity. I love when you shared that you needed to monster your mental power and to use all the knowledge about mental strength in order to heal: knowing how to overcome trauma and actually living it are two different things.

Thank you for sharing your story and helping us move on from our losses. It is so true that self-care for our mental health is as important as caring for our bodies. Although it does take years to develop healthier habits, it only takes 7 days of repetition for a good start to develop the habit you would like to have. I have proven this true when I chose not to be late for work anymore. Each day I clocked in early I would mark it on my calendar. If I came in late during the 7-days, I would start over and go back to Day-1. Eventually, I was clocking in early each day for the next 90 days. Which became 6 months, then a whole year. Start with small steps. One day at a time. Each day is a new beginning!

I was feeling so low for no reason before watching this then when I heard about how you lose your mom and husband , I couldnt stop myself from cryingg and now, i feel so much light and better. The tone of your voice is so soothening ma'am. I hope youre happy wherever you are now. 🤎 I am emotionally so weak , cries over little things and overthink a lot but I do believe someday I will be emotionally and mentally strong enough to face my problems with a smile on my face🥺. If you are feeling low just watch something that will divert your mind and will bring a smile on your face. Its OKAY NOT to be OKAY. Good night, lovess.

So totally true I have learned so much about not just how and why I keep ending up in the same ruts or self sabotaging life choices .Even more important I have accepted that childhood trama has actual struggles at times of adulthood for some people like me .I learned how important it is for me to surround myself with positive uplifting encouraging people the best I could ,because I know I am not always a good self starter and am often to embarrassed to ask for help but need it so often at times of real importance .I took years to develop a trusting friendship of someone that I know believes in me regardless of my mistakes or poor choices at times who I can confide in and tell how lost I really am in certain things someone I know wants nothing from me but to see me make my own life changing progress and grow in my own self confidence and when I backtrack will check me and call me out lovingly with constructive criticism and guidance to make better choices and learn how to navigate away from my self sabotage .a friend who reminds me to process feelings and let them go to work on myself finding solutions not focusing on my problems or how and why or who .15 yrs my best friend and mentor has truly helped me be a better me and learn it's only up to me. understanding that I'm more than just broken I'm smarter than wanting to succeed but barely trying out of actual fear of success and during the times I worked hard and made actual progress up the mountain of self worth and I felt life seemed to keep kicking my feet from under me I learned to handle things differently .In that I have truly grown away from letting people walk all over me or constantly allow myself to be affected buy what others assumed or said or thought of me.Learning emotional intelligence from a welfare to work computer skills occupation class at a community college truly changed how I allowed myself to be or not be affected by the negative or positive around me ( it took my friend 5 yrs to convince me as a single parent to even apply for assistance and use the resources available to me. I was pridefully I felt I had arms legs and a job there was people that needed it more.i was surviving but no progress than I accepted I could use the help and actually better myself for my son and that was ok ). That small part of that office skills course gave me the most valuable tools I have ever had in my life. . These Ted X talks are so beyond rewarding and truly help me learn and grow and understand more about life and behavioral therapy .just the break down of the effects on chronic childhood PTSD into adulthood and understanding addictions alone are life saving to me doing my best in making sure my child doesnt go into life accepting this generational depression and addictions and settling for the struggle is acceptable. He has sent me in ups and downs good and bad choices but he has also seen me overcome and grow . I have always expressed how important it is to keep moving forward and embrace our path no matter how hard because it is overall struggles a beautiful path of abundant blessings in every lesson great or small. I challenge him to be greater than my mistakes learn from what u see me struggle with . Most importantly everyday since he was born I uplift him to be positive and kind above all with a loving heart that does all things %100 .I taught him to think for himself learn what he doesn't know apply himself and what he gathers in knowledge and experience so that he can be confident in growing to be a humble kind person hopefully not having to waist so much of his life never thinking he was good enough to even try to shoot for the stars . Like me .I was my own worst fear and enemy growing up. Thank you all that speak and share and teach on these platforms .you have helped me understand there is nothing wrong with me my life is what made me who I am a strong resilient woman that is understanding and has so much more to offer this world than the story of how I got here but even better the story of where I'm going and how I will break the cycle of being broken in my family . I share these videos with so many people i i know I hope it helps others like it has for me Thanks again

I could not believe she was about to say her husband died too. This is why I watched this video though. I know that life will throw us so many trials and tests and we have to be mentally strong. At this point in my life I feel so fragile which makes me even more scared, because I feel like I’ll fall apart at the slightest challenge or loss. I can handle what happens to me, but not those I love.

In the past eighteen months, my mother, father, and brother who was my best friend and only sibling, all passed away. My parents were in their 90’s, my brother early 70’s. I divorced an abusive narcissist in the midst of it all. They say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. That isn't always true. It's how you face it and process it, and move forward. I should have a superhero cape by now. I have to, as I have two brilliant sons to care for in life. Interesting how videos like this show up at the right time.

Deborah, How are you now? In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. To develop mental muscles reduce negative thoughts and overthinking. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Observe your breath sensations when taking a walk, before sleep, in college, at work, in the kitchen, when reading, etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media, take morning sunlight walks and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Doing a public speaking course is very useful. Best wishes--Counsellor.

Mentally strong people have healthy habits. They manage their emotions thoughts and behaviors in the ways that set them up for success in life check out these things that mentally strong people don't do so that you too can become more mentally strong. 1. They don't waste time feeling sorry for themselves. Mentally strong people don't sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances or how others have treated them. Instead they take responsibility for their role in life and understand that life isn't always easy or Fair. 2. They don't give away their power. They don't allow others to control them and they don't give someone else power over them. They don't say things like "my boss make me feel bad" because they understand that they are in control over their own emotions and they have a choice in how they respond. 3. They don't shy away from change. Mentally strong people don't try to avoid change. Instead they welcome positive change in are willing to be flexible. They understand that change is inevitable and believe in their abilities to adapt. 4. They don't waste energy on things they can't control. Did you hear a mentally strong person complaining over lost luggage or traffic jams?! But Instead these people focus on what they can control in their lives. They recognize that sometimes the only thing that they control is their attitude. 5. They don't worry about pleasing everyone. Mentally strong people recognize that they don't need to please everyone all the time. They are not afraid to say no or speak up when necessary. They strive to be kind and fair but can handle other people being upset if they didn't make them happy. 6. They don't fear taken calculated risk. They don't take reckless or a foolish risk but don't mind taking calculated risks. Mentally strong people spend time waiting their risk and benefits before making a big decision and they are fully informed of the potential downsides before they take action. 7. They don't dwell on the past. Mentally strong people don't waste time and dwelling on the past and wishing things could be different. They aknowledge their past and can say what they've learned from it. However they don't constantly relieve bad experiences or fantasize about the Glory Days. Instead they live for the present and plan for the future. 8. They don't make the same mistakes over and over. Mentally strong people accept responsibility for their behavior and learn from their past mistakes. As a result they don't keep repeating those mistakes over and over. Instead they move on and make better decisions in the future. 9. They don't resent other people's success. Mentally strong people can't appreciate and celebrate people's success in life. They don't grow jealous or feel cheated when others surpass them. Instead they recognize that success comes with hard work and they are willing to work hard for their own chance at success. 10. They don't give up after the first failure. Mentally strong people don't view failures as a reason to give up. Instead they use failure as an opportunity to grow and improve. They are willing to keep trying until they get it right. 11. They don't fear alone time. Mentally strong people can tolerate being alone and they don't fear silence. They aren't afraid to be alone with their thoughts and they can use downtime to be productive. They enjoyed their own company and aren't depend on other for companionship and entertainment all the time but instead can be happy alone. 12. They don't feel the world owns them anything. Mentally strong people don't feel entitled to things in life. They weren't born with a mentality that others will take care of them or that the word must give them something. Instead they look for opportunities based on their own merits. 13. They don't expect immediate results. Whether they are working on improving their health or getting a new business off the ground mentally strong people don't expect immediate results. Instead they apply their skills and time to the best of their ability and understand that real change takes time.

@Zhaneta Harutyunyan How are you now? In life there are 2 main problems--mind and the body. To feel better reduce overthinking. . Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. If possible don't move too much. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations when taking a walk, at work, in the kitchen, when reading, before sleep etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Avoid comparing with others, reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

It is really a wonderful speech..It was like you were reflecting my life. Yes, I agreed 100% with your points. Any one should not sit and think about what had happended in the past. We as a human can not undo anything past. It is woth think about the future and how we can build a positive life. In my experience, everyone would go through rough time at sometime of time. If it happens at the earliest, it would be good.

I admire her strength and wisdom. No matter what your mistakes or circumstances-be compassionate to yourself and your own pain. I believe that self-pity is self serving, it will keep you stuck. For me to move through my feelings and change my negative believes about myself has required a lot of self compassion. When you have a support system usually they provide a sense of care and compassion. When you don't have a strong support system give yourself compassion. I wish mental strength/health was taught in schools, churches, or through our health care system. Take care of yourselves🤗

I’m proud of everybody for healing or simply just doing what’s necessary to get back to yourself 🙏🏾🤍. It’s going to be OK.

Summary: get rid of bad mental habits ----> 1. Self pity (exaggerating problems) 2. Victim mentality (thinking that ppl/situations have the power to hurt you, instead of thinking how you can choose to respond) 3. Expecting that life is fair (that if you work hard, you'll find success) Developing mental strength is just like developing physical strength. Cultivate good mental habits (healthy food) and get rid of bad ones (junk food). Practice daily to train your brain (gym). Start small. Keep going.

This works until you realize "those people" can cut you out of things and marginalize you into an outsider who is excluded. Never even considered this in the whole discussion as this self angle does not work when you MUST deal with others who are RUTHLESS and society REWARDS them for it.

I recently have been in this cycle where I’ll just be on my phone all day, ignoring my parents, siblings, and my dog. I have a couple of to do list that I should do for a month but honestly I think I’m just overworking myself even though I don’t do them all, after seeing this I learned that I should give some of my time to my parents, siblings, and my dog because you never know when they could pass away. I’ll still work on my goals but step by step. I hope I’m going through the right path.

We live in a world where we need to keep up with both our physical and mental health. Sometimes, we might need a bit of help from the physical health side by taking some health supplements, like peptides, to at least help us adjust the hormones inside us so that we can at least get our mind back on track. I am inspired by her patient that came in later knowing that he can improve his own world. WE ALL CAN! Cheers from Thailand!

@KHUSHI GARG - Of course nobody knows how long it will take for a certain person to heal, if in fact they are able to recover. But that doesn't stop people from wanting to know ballpark averages, guidelines, as to what to expect. It's a normal thing to want as much information as possible regarding what you are going through. In fact, it's required, to at least make some tentative plans for the future ....

Yeah, but healing and self-pity are two different things. The first one is taking a step back and mourning or being sad, or angry because we have every right to feel that way if someone or life circumstances hurt us very badly. But self-pity is blaming others, going through negatives thoughts over and over again, re-experiencing it our mind what we felt years ago again and again and NOT changing anything but being stuck in a circle of blame, frustration, sadness and stagnation where we do not move forward....so, know the difference.
