What does it mean to be mentally strong? Well, in the field of psychology, “mental resilience” or “mental toughness” is defined as a person’s capacity to effectively deal with stressors, challenges, and adverse situations, and still perform well in spite of their circumstances. It’s also been found to be a significant predictor for both academic and occupational success, as well as physical health, happiness, and life satisfaction. So there’s certainly no debating the fact that being mentally strong matters. But how do we do it? What are the ways we can improve and cultivate our mental strength?

There are also a few habits mentally strong people generally don't do. Curious to know what they are? Check out this video: https://youtu.be/GikjZQmeTFY
