13 Things Mentally Strong People Avoid

Being mentally strong is a pure game-changer, especially for men over 40 actively trying to improve their physical health and well-being.

As the CEO of Grey Top Warriors, I’ve witnessed firsthand how developing mental resilience can lead to a more fulfilling life.

It’s often when a client “truly believes” that he can it in shape that the true transformation can begin.

And most times it is NOT about exercising harder. Or running further. Or going to bed earlier.

It’s believing it is possible!

This is why I stress the GTW Tribe of Brothers is just as important as the working out and eating parts of getting in shape.

So in this article, I’d like to explore 13 habits that mentally strong individuals avoid, and how you can cultivate mental strength to achieve your goals.

Dwelling on the Past

Mentally strong people acknowledge the lessons learned from past experiences but avoid getting stuck in disappointments or nostalgic fantasies.

They focus their energy on creating a better present and future. To develop this habit, practice mindfulness and learn to let go of negative experiences that no longer serve you.

Fearing Alone Time

Embracing solitude is a sign of mental strength. Mentally resilient individuals use their alone time productively for reflection, planning, and personal growth. They don’t rely on others for their happiness and well-being. Schedule regular “me time” to engage in activities that bring you joy and help you recharge.

Believing the World Owes Them

In today’s competitive world, mentally strong people understand that success is earned through hard work and merit.

They don’t feel entitled to rewards without putting in the effort.

Cultivate a growth mindset and focus on continuous self-improvement to achieve your goals.

Resenting Other People’s Success

Celebrating others’ achievements is a hallmark of mental strength.

Instead of feeling jealous or resentful, mentally strong individuals learn from others’ successes and are willing to work hard for their own goals.

You must have heard the phrase “Success Leaves Clues”. This is all about learning from successful people. NOT complaining and moaning about their success.

Giving Up After Failure

Resilience is a key component of mental strength. Mentally tough people view failure as an opportunity to learn and grow.

They don’t let setbacks define them and persist in the face of adversity.

Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and develop a “never give up” attitude.

Fearing Taking Calculated Risks

Mentally strong individuals understand that growth often involves taking calculated risks.

They assess challenges carefully but don’t let fear hold them back from pursuing their dreams.

Evaluate risks objectively and trust your abilities to handle potential obstacles.

Dwelling on Things They Can’t Control

Focusing on what’s within their control is a habit of mentally strong people.

They avoid wasting energy on things they can’t influence and instead direct their efforts towards what they can change.

Trying to Please Everyone

Mentally resilient individuals prioritise their own values and beliefs over seeking approval from others.

They are assertive in their communication and are comfortable with saying no when necessary.

Fearing Alone Time

Embracing solitude is a sign of mental strength.

Mentally resilient individuals use their alone time productively for reflection, planning, and personal growth.

They don’t rely on others for their happiness and well-being.

Giving Up Power

Mentally strong people take responsibility for their lives and don’t give others power over their emotions.

They maintain control over their reactions and choices, even in challenging situations.
