Seven practical ways to become mentally strong for life (Part i)

Introduction: I know that many students in the class may be experiencing pain that ordinary people can't imagine, or some emotions that can't be expressed. I hope this article can help you out of the dilemma and move forward all the way.

• #1. Be aware of your own dreams and needs:

        Many people are not strong, often because of the loss of the pursuit of life motivation. So if you want to be mentally strong and feel what you want most and who you want to be, you will have more courage to face your own life.

• #2. Dare to explore, and think of danger in times of peace, out of your comfort zone:

        People's lives need to have the spirit of exploration in the face of their own lives. We may have heard of the comfort zone. A person in the comfort zone for a long time will lose the motivation to struggle in life.

        Life is constantly changing, so learn to anticipate the danger. In the good times, we should be prepared for the possible trough. Even when the trough comes, we will not panic but know how to face it calmly.

• #3. Be fully accountable to yourself, not to others:

        In life, I have found that there is a mistake that many people leave their lives to others. They are not responsible for themselves. For example, some people work step by step for the sake of their parents, but their heart is unwilling and depressed.

        To be responsible for oneself means having the right to choose one's life and assume all the responsibility and risk for one's own life. When we leave our lives to others, we are not really mature, a kind of adult giant baby.

        Learning to be responsible means that your happiness is up to you and no one else. Bear the responsibilities of your own life, and you will find that this is your true sense of maturity.

        You should know that only if you are happy, you will attract more happiness to your side. For example, many people base their happiness on the recognition of others. So you are the most influential person to create a positive life for yourself and work hard for the life you want.

• #4. Feel your emotions, not judge them:

        Sometimes emotions come, and we don't need to suppress ourselves completely. Psychologically speaking, emotions are a powerful channel for us to know ourselves, and when we know how to feel our emotions, it also helps us to open up channels of our own strength.

        Instead of judging ourselves, we need to treat each of our feelings equally. For example, anger and anger help us to relieve stress. We can have more power when we can accept our full emotions instead of criticizing and blaming ourselves.

        On the other hand, by recognizing and accepting our own emotions, we learn more about ourselves and have more empathy for others. The reason why some people's inner world is rich is precisely the source of their own understanding.

        We must never forget that we are a small universe. By learning to connect with ourselves and feel the ups and downs of our inner strength, we can take control of ourselves and gain inner peace and courage.
