There are days when life seems truly unfair, depressing, or even hopeless.

As genetically tuned we could remain creatures of habit, adapting to predictable outcomes and sticking to our comfort zones to love their lives; The world is constantly changing and threatens to overrun us if we stay in one place for too long.

Hardship is a necessary evil in every living being, for only then do you truly learn the lessons that define your character. In fact, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your survival skills and tweak your strongest traits.

No wonder given today’s complexity, our reaction to uncertainties and attitude to problems primarily determines mental fitness. Emotional quotient over intelligence quotient is the tireless buzz among psychologists, life coaches, and management gurus.

When you think your coping skills are inadequate. Here are five ways to prepare you for an unwavering mental toughness to become immune to stress and prepare for greatness.

1. Feed Your Emotional Stamina:

In life, timing is everything. There’s a time to be loose and there’s a time to get on your feet. Constantly being too easygoing about work, friends, family, or opportunities will build unhealthy pressures over time until you find you are unable to keep up. On the other hand, if you’re the type to fret about the little things and get frustrated easily over details, you’ll burn yourself out to a glitch.

Create a strong mind-body-spirit connection by sowing the seeds of good habits into your everyday life until they become second nature.

Don’t compromise on your daily 7 to 8 hour sleep. Five days of lack of sleep can never be compensated for by a whole weekend in bed.

Eat healthy as often as you can and watch out for addiction to stimulants like coffee, sugar, or alcohol.

Embrace any form of movement and support it with relaxation techniques such as conscious deep breathing and stretching.

Physical well-being and inner harmony are crucial to having the focus and stamina to face one challenge after the next without wanting to give up.

So build your emotional reserve as soon as possible.

2. Nourish your self-esteem:

Confidence goes hand in hand with objectivity. Learn to evaluate yourself fairly and objectively without judging yourself for not being perfect. See each day of your life as a series of accomplishments and failures that contribute to your distinctive individuality.

Build a strong network of social relationships at work and in personal life while avoiding toxic and negative people. As an essential emotional support, you should not exhaust all your goodwill with over-reliance on friends and family in times of need. Take conscious steps, no matter how small, to make yourself independent.

3. Build an attitude of gratitude and positivity:

Happiness is a choice. It comes with a state of mind that accompanies a healthy perspective. No matter how wrong it feels, you always have a lot of things to be thankful for. Being positive in a crisis gives you the strength to overcome that crisis. Whining and worrying never solved problems.

4. Take responsibility:

We often make mistakes that we deeply regret and worry about what others think of us. Work up the courage to forgive yourself for every step you miss, and don’t become obsessively attached to your past or other people’s negativity. Fight the urge to indulge in self-pity. When you present yourself as an eternal victim, you act helpless even when there is an opportunity to empower yourself with initiative. You are stronger than you think. problems come and go. They should be viewed as mere challenges to be overcome. Don’t be scared into inaction.

Think about your possible outcomes and options, and prompt for action, even if you do it in small increments.

5. Pursue and explore knowledge:

Each obstacle should be viewed as a workout in your problem-solving skills.

Indulge creatively whenever you get the time. Read extensively and educate yourself on a variety of topics to find your purpose. Study the popular trends in the job market in your field or find a mentor.

Take time for quiet reflection or write in a journal. See life as an adventure. Instead of keeping up with the status quo, look for new opportunities.

Deliberately try to go beyond your comfort level. As you practice being proactive in dealing with life’s pressures, you will become less and less bothered when you experience stress, anxiety, or panic.
