Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

To help you understand that we are all emotional driven creatures, and that developing your emotional strength is one of the fastest ways to achieve personal success.

Let’s Get Started:

Emotional strength can be thought of as emotional stability and resiliency, characterized by assertiveness, caring, coping, and stress-management skills.

Emotional strength is one of the most essential assets a person can have. Life offers us a variety of adventures, and our character is not measured by how many challenges we face, but by how we respond to them.

Emotional strength allows us to surmount these obstacles by being composed and making decisions that are well thought-out, instead of unconsciously reacting with emotions that don’t support our higher good.

Many people think emotional strength is innate, that it’s something we are born with, and that there is no way to influence this aspect of ourselves.  Fortunately, this is a delusion; there are many steps a person can take to increase their emotional strength, and by developing it, one can live a fuller, happier life.

It’s imperative to build up your emotional strength so that you can both control it and transmute it into something productive, and not being held hostage by emotional outbursts.

Final Thought

To finish this off I’ll leave you with a quote from Joan Rosenberg, PhD.

“Emotional strength develops out of your openness and willingness to tolerate, face, bear, and know as much of your moment-to-moment experience as possible. Being vulnerable, fully present, authentic, and genuine. Living your truth.”
