Learning to recognize the things that are holding you back can be a helpful tool step toward making meaningful change in your life. Even if you have 100 good habits that you practice, just a single bad habit can hinder the effectiveness of all the rest. This week, author and psychology professor Amy Morin shares tips for working through challenges and building the mental strength you need to reach your full potential.
Morin draws on her own experiences with hardship; they have informed the work she’s done in the years since. When she was in her mid-20s, both her mother and her husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. She was left having to find ways to stay mentally strong while also processing her grief. At times, she found it easier to think about what she didn’t have to do, rather than list all the things she should do. That led to a blog post which paved the way to her first book, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do.
What You'll Learn:
- Focus on making change within yourself
- Allow space for grief
- Learn to recognize your bad habits
- Consider seeking coaching or outside help
- Work to interrupt mental downward spirals
