We're talking about building that inners cillians, the unshakable spirit
that lets you not only where their live storms, but
actually thrive in the face of adversity. Ever feel like
you're constantly being knocked down, like those challenges just keep
piling up and you're barely keeping your head above water.

Trust me, I get it. Life can be a real
roller coaster with its ups and downs, leaving you feeling
exhausted and defeated. But here's the thing. Those challenges, those obstacles,
they're not meant to break you. They're meant to make
you stronger. It's like that old saying, what doesn't kill
us makes us stronger. Right, So, how do we actually
build this mental toughness? How do we go from feeling

A muscle only grows stronger when you push it beyond
its limits. Number three practice gratitude. Seriously, take a moment
every day to appreciate the good stuff in your life.
Even on the toughest days. There is always something to
be grateful for. It could be as simple as a

(01:46):
warm cup of coffee, a sunny day, or congesture from
a stranger. Cultivate in gratitude shifts your focus from what
you like to what you already have, which can make
a world of difference in how you approach challenges. Number
four develops self compassion. Be kind to yourself even when
things get tough. Nobody's perfect and everyone makes mistakes. Instead

(02:07):
of beating yourself up, treat yourself with the same kindness
and understanding that you would offer a friend going through
a rough patch. And Leslie number five. Celebrate your winds,
big or small. Acknowledge your progress, no matter how insignificant
it may seem. Every step forward, every obstacle overcome, is
a victory worth celebrating. It helps build momentum and keeps

know that feeling when you finally nail the difficult project
at work, or is that presentation you were terrified of?

your fears, put in the work, and came out on top. Now,
imagine that feeling happening more often in your life. Imagine
approaching challenges with confidence, knowing that you have in a

(02:52):
strength to overcome them. Let me give you an example.
Imagine your preparing for a big examine. Things just aren't clicking.
