Why Learn About Mental Toughness
Mental toughness is a catch-all term that usually gets seen as an all or nothing trait. The old saying "You either got it or you don't" usually comes to most people's mind when talking about mental toughness. However, we now know that it isn't just a finite skill and it is made of a multitude of different concepts.
Everyday you have deadlines, changes of plans, goals to meet, people to fulfill and all of it is predicated on how well you perform. Your performance can be influenced by physical, psychological, financial and social stressors just to name a few.
The people who understand these concepts don't necessarily receive more success, but rather have the ability to endure struggles, find motivation and interpret challenges as a way to over come rather than fail. This lays the foundation to deal with things such as anxiety, failure, physical fitness, focus, motivation and confidence.
If you understand the foundations of mental toughness and how to interpret what it takes to manage stress, emotions and consistently perform under all kinds of conditions, you will have a better chance to utilize it in your daily life.
