12 Things That Mentally Strong People Do In Harsh Times


When life becomes tough and there are situations not easy to deal with, mentally strong people have their own way to cope with it and stay calm. They exactly know what to and how to act in certain situations.

When life becomes ‘bumpy’ they respond in ways that allow them to relax and give some time to think things through before smooth them. The following 12 things are what mentally strong people do in order to stay still when things become rough. Try to do them if you hadn’t done them so far.

1. They don’t talk much

They have the policy of ‘letting other people be smart’ and avoid causing more stress. They know when to speak and when to remain silent which unfortunately most people find extremely difficult to do.

2. They slow things down

They slow things down when they have to since they are more than aware that slowing down is essential when it comes to remaining calm. This gives their brain a rest, and ‘buys’ them more time to process what is going on.

3. They are aware

Mentally strong people pay more attention to their true inner feelings.

4. They are self-confident

They are very self-confident and believe that they will make it through whatever the situation is. Their confidence makes them stronger when facing obstacles.

5. They sleep ‘just enough’

These people know that sleep is very important both for our brain and our body, so they get ‘just the right amount of sleep’ i.e. not too much and too little. When it comes to functioning properly, having enough sleep is inevitable.

6. They ‘remove’ negative people out of their lives

They simply know when someone is pulling them down and can’t stand it. No matter who the other person is, as long as he/she is negative, he/she will not stay around for too long.

7. They connect and tie to positive people

When they feel that thing are getting them really down, they turn to their support system i.e. friends and family. They are not always too ‘proud’ to ask for help although they know their closest ones are more than willing to help. Even if it is just to talk things over they know this will be beneficiary for them.

8. They rely on their favorite means of motivation

What motivates us is different for each of us. What motivates one person does not mean that it motivates other people as well. Some turn to motivational talks while others get motivated by helping others. You should find your own source of motivation.

9. They are open minded when it comes to changes

They embrace changes because they know that in order to improve and progress further in life they have change things in order to continue their journey. They welcome changes no matter where life takes them.

10. They let go

They are strong enough to let go things that really bother them but they are unable to change.

11. They never give up

‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again’ is their motto. The mentally strong person does not just give up.

12. They learn from their mistakes

Instead of blaming others for the things happening in their lives, they accept their own mistakes and learn from them.
