Life is a real rollercoaster.
Dealing with stress, setbacks, and all those curveballs life loves to throw at you.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to let those challenges break you. Building a strong, resilient mind is your secret weapon for handling anything that comes your way.
Forget the fluffy self-help books filled with empty promises
In this article, I’ll show 7 daily habits to boost your mental resilience.
1 — Mindfulness & Meditation
You need to have a way of processing everything, discharging your brain, or charging it — depending on the situation.
Mindfulness and meditation offer the perfect solution.
It will bring your mind to peace and raise awareness of your own body and soul. You’re realising you’re living in the moment and that can reduce stress and anxiety.
For example, you could, while still in bed, close your eyes for a minute or 2 and meditate. Slowly breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
If you repeat this for a couple minutes you will relax.
Your heart rate will go down and you feel the stress leave your body — if you want to, keep going and stop when you feel comfortable.
This is also a perfect method for emotion regulation. If you’re angry for example you apply this technique until you’re calmed down. It works every time.
Another way of keeping your mind at peace is going for a walk in nature.
Just you and your thoughts outside. When you’re exercising your body activates the part of your brain that allows you to think creatively and to process all your emotions.
Use this to your advantage and walk!
2 — Positive Affirmations
Humans do better when they’re confident.
But it’s sad to see that a lot of people aren’t. They have a very low self-esteem and almost no confidence.
Especially young people.
This lack of confidence can hold you back in your life — it’s not something to think light of when someone mentions it.
Now, have you heard of practicing positive affirmations?
