Your secret super power? Mental strength

What really makes the difference today? Talent, skill, knowledge?

We are increasingly recognising the most important ingredient is mental strength

When we think of someone who is strong, we typically think of someone who is physically strong — someone who lifts heavy weights, wins ultramarathons, or treks miles in the snow. The truth is toughness applies to what our minds are capable of too

When we have a strong mind, we can better manage our emotions, thoughts and energy when we’re faced with any type of challenge, setback or difficulty. We gain the ability to remain cool, calm, and poised no matter what we’re up against. Mental strength really is your secret super power

Top performers learn that this super power of mental strength is essential to effectively regulate their emotions and attention to ensure best performance.  Because if they don’t keep their emotions in check, they compromise their performance under pressure. This goes for all high performers and all high performance — in fact, in a world where so many of us feel stress and pressure — this applies to all of us, when we want to win the game we call life

As Dr Sanjay Gupta - CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent tells us:

“Never forget that the brain is exceptionally plastic,” says Dr Gupta. “It can rewire and reshape itself through your experiences and habits, and a lot of this remolding can be achieved in a mere twelve weeks. “It’s like building any other muscle.”

Whether you want to accelerate your productivity at work, smash more goals, exercise more, reduce your alcohol intake — or train for the LA 2028 Olympics, adopting some of the psychological skills used by high performers to build your mental muscles and increase your mental strength will help us all win the game of life

So how do we do this? How do we build mental strength to mentally thrive and win the game of life?

From the latest findings in neuroscience and sports psychology — today there are some fantastic resources now available to us to help grow our mental strength — brilliant books, podcasts, blogs and courses, yet if you are anything like us when we are ambitious and determined to learn and grow, we can waste hours listening, reading and watching yet never applying, never actually doing what it takes to put in the work and build our mental strength

To help you actually apply the insight and increase your performance...
