Daily Habits That Will Increase Your Mental Strength
When it comes to building physical strength, the solutions are obvious, but keeping up your mental strength isn’t as easy as going to the gym. Although physical exercise does help clear your head and relieve stress, there are other things you can do daily that will help your mind be as strong and flexible as your body after a workout. Here’s just a few things you can do to help clear your head and make you more productive.
DON’T WASTE YOUR BRAIN POWER
That might seem obvious, but think about how much mental energy you might use up worrying about negativity or things you have no control over. Instead of focusing on problems, focus on solutions. This actually take a lot of effort, we’re all conditioned to let worry paralyze us sometimes. Try and catch yourself when you’re wasting time thinking about about past mistakes or current dilemmas you don’t have the power to stop. You really only have so much mental energy, and if you have kids and an especially stressful work situation, that might be even less than normal. Start treating your brain like the precious resource it is. You don’t want to be running on empty when it really matters.
Be More Positive
Eliminating negative thoughts is essential to increasing your mental strength. Carrying around negativity is like swimming with all of your clothes on. You might be okay at first, but eventually you’ll feel like you can barely stay afloat. Don’t drown in negativity, use positive thoughts as a lifesaver. This doesn’t mean you should ignore things you need to improve, just approach them with solutions rather than beating yourself up. Constant monitoring of this is important since it’s really easy to slide back into negative thinking.
Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
A lot of mental energy can go to dealing with anxiety. One way to deal with that is by forcing yourself to try new things and take on new challenges, that you might normally avoid because they make you feel unsure or scared. Challenge yourself daily, even with small things.
This is definitely something that becomes easier with practice. Start small, and in no time you’ll be taking on things you never thought were possible. The simple task of trying something new every day will have you feeling energized and put you on the path to self-growth.
BE SELF-AWARE
Your emotions affect everything you do, even if they’re not at the surface. Recognizing and labeling them is key. A lot of the above exercises require selfreflection. It’s okay to have the emotions you have, understanding why and where those emotions come from allows you to focus on dealing with them rather than just wallowing in them. Being self-aware is also about self-care. Know the things that help relax and rejuvenate you. That way you can handle everyday stresses and remain calm even during the most turbulent times.
Be Willing To Learn
A lot of people are still hung up on the idea that learning is a boring and tedious process, but you aren’t in junior high anymore. You can find something you’re actually interested in and immerse yourself in it, which engages your mind like nothing else. Whether it’s learning a new technology that will improve your business or something that will make you a more well-rounded person, the learning process keeps you engaged and open to new ideas. A curiosity about the world and new things is something that all mentally strong people have in common.

In the breathtaking region of Colorado Springs, Lisa Pflugh has emerged as a shining star in the real estate industry. Lisa’s story started as a stay-at-home mom for 20 years and in that time, she was constantly on the move with her family. With 18 moves in 22 years, Lisa found herself crossing paths with REALTORS® at every turn, and they saw something special in her and often encouraged her to get into real estate. Eventually, the time was right and she took the leap and became an agent, initially aiming to fund her children’s education. Little did she know, she would find her lane and thoroughly fall in love with the exhilarating world of real estate.
Lisa’s natural talent quickly made waves, and in her first year, she earned the prestigious title of ‘New Agent of the Year’ at RE/MAX Properties, Inc., closing an impressive 19 deals. Today, Lisa leads the dedicated team at Tava Homes Group. Her own experience as a serial mover allows her to empathize with clients, especially military families and those transitioning from other states, making their journey smooth and stress-free, and her leadership skills enable her to mentor and develop the agents on her team, creating a team focused on exceptional customer care and a relentless commitment to professional competency and authentic relationships.
