We look at signs of mental strength in this video on Practical Inspiration, and how to be strong mentally and emotionally. We cover signs you're mentally strong and understand how to be strong mentally, as well as how to be strong emotionally.

So, learn how to be strong in the real way and how to be strong personality.  These are signs of mental strength and will provide mental toughness motivation. So, grow your mental strength and mental toughness, as we look at how to develop mental toughness.

Below is a summary of the video:

1. Kindness
- Often kindness is misinterpreted by people as a weak quality to have, as it often gets understood as being a pushover or people pleaser
- However, it is equally a sign of strength, as it takes a great deal of courage and confidence to show kindness to someone else
- Many people will be appreciative of such an attitude and will reciprocate your behaviour, meaning your influence can be positive
- ...and even if people are difficult, it takes someone who is extremely mentally strong to keep showing kindness even if they haven't always benefitted from it

2. Acknowledging Weaknesses
- It takes a lot of courage to be totally honest and true to yourself to acknowledge your flaws
- This isn't the same as putting yourself down, as it is more objective, simply identifying a fact rather than being drawn in emotionally
- If you do this, you can then take positive action to rectify this weakness, working to strengthen your skills in these areas
- Or at the very least, you can take some action, such as seeking help, to help you overcome the issues the weaknesses bring with them

3. Patience
- If you want something important in life, chances are it can't be attained immediately and will take patience to achieve in life
- The fact is, most people will give up on working towards their goals because it takes time to achieve what they want to
- For this reason, patience is a vital quality to have when working towards your goal, but requires a great deal of mental strength and resolve
- This is because you will face challenges and problems along the way, it's an inevitable part of any long and worthwhile ventures

4. Focus on Self Improvement
- For many, there's a perception that self improvement is somewhat of a wishy washy pseudo-science that shouldn't be taken seriously
- In fact, much related to the self improvement industry has proven evidence to show that what's often being recommended as benefitting your wellbeing is based on fact
- People who aim to improve are mentally strong, firstly by breaking through mass perception to proceed with going through with something they are passionate about
- ...but also because as part of self improvement, you also need to look at yourself objectively, which we identified requires great mental strength

5. Calmness
- Sometimes staying calm in a tense situation can appear to lack courage, but often it's far from the truth
- The ability to control emotions is a significant sign of mental strength, and can work to benefit you under intense stress
- It not only helps you reacting in ways that you might later regret, keeping a cool head can also help you think through situations in a more logical and productive way
- A skill that's not to be disparaged, but rather one that should be hugely admired
