Mental!

Mental Strength is the ability to concentrate when you want to, as hard as you want to, for as long as you want to. 

Mental Flexibility is your capacity to switch from one mode of thought to another. It's a playful process as you toy about, find new combinations, and look in new directions. Mental Flexibility is artistry, holistic thought, creativity, brainstorming, and a bit of Zen, all rolled into one. 

When you want to put your ideas into action, you need Mental Endurance.

Mental Staying Power is the ability to sustain an increased level of activity without getting distracted or discouraged. It's the capacity to persist, to go the full mile. 

And when you want to add precision and flair, you need Mental Coordination.

Mental Coordination is timing, balance, and agility. It's the knack of gracefully orchestrating your thinking so that you can deal with several things at once, keep balanced within the face of uncertainty, learn for knowledge's sake, and strive for higher ideals. 

 It's these four basic qualities — Strength, Flexibility, Endurance, And Coordination — that make up a fit mind. Only by stretching, flexing, exerting, relaxing, moving your mind in different ways, performing different mental movements, does your mind get in shape.

Stress FREE or FEAR

Stress FREE or FEAR 

The feeling of not being in charge or control is one of the most common causes of physical and mental illness; most people call it “stress.” The idea of being vulnerable and unsafe generates fear, which in turn triggers profound biochemical changes in the body. These changes become the physical “reality” of ill health and aging. Through the intimate psycho-physiological (mind/body) connection, every thought and feeling, to a lesser or greater degree, alters your experience of health and well-being. A bout of depression can paralyze your immune system, and falling in love can boost it.

If you are convinced that aging is natural and cannot be avoided then this is the reality you are creating for yourself. Likewise, you can draw on the same force that causes destruction in the body and direct it toward healing and rejuvenation. You can prove to yourself that growing old and being affected by disease are merely the manifested projections of ignorance about the real nature of life. Disease and aging are not part of your body’s genetic design. Even the so-called “death-gene,” which is in charge of terminating the lives of cells in our body according to their various predetermined life spans, is the one that keeps us alive. Without this gene we would all die from cancer within weeks. In this sense, controlled k

|destruction is the giver of life, and life that has gone out of control can be the harbinger of death. There is nothing in the normal original setup of our body that could indicate it is causing its own aging or diseases. But there is enough evidence to show that aging and illness originate in the combined effects of fearful, negative mental attitudes and emotions and excessive accumulation of toxic waste material in the body.

Failure is new way of learning

Failure is new way of learning

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, failure means alack of success.

[2] The logical assumption that follows is that you’re only successful when you reach your end goal. In other words, the process doesn’t matter. It’s spelled out in black or white terms: it’s either success or it’s failure. This disempowering definition is one of the primary reasons why people fear and despise failure.

You could argue that it’s all just semantics, but language shapes your behavior, so it’s important to use the right, empowering words. You might consider the following few paragraphs a bit esoteric, but please bear with me and you’ll probably start seeing failure in a new light.If you face a difficult problem and you tell yourself, “I don’t know how to deal with it,” you’ll think of reasons why you can’t do it — and not potential solutions. Your brain acts on your instructions, and it’s the words you use that steer your thinking process. How likely are you to solve the problem if you’re wasting energy coming up with excuses? If instead you tell yourself, “Okay, let’s find a way to figure it out,” you’ll think of potential solutions and probably solve the problem. Same problem, different words, different outcome.Let’s illustrate this with a quick example: John and Kate want to start a business. Both come from the same background and have the same exact resources at their disposal. John says: “If only I had money, I could start a business.”

His disempowering vocabulary “if only” fine-tunes his brain to come up with further excuses why he can’t start a business. Instead of telling herself “if only,” Kate says: “I don’t have money, and this means I need to figure out how to bootstrap my business.”Her brain receives high-quality instructions and she comes up with several ideas to start a business on a shoestring. Same problem, different words, different] outcome.

THE BENEFITS OF MENTAL STRENGTH

THE BENEFITS OF MENTAL STRENGTH

It’s often easy to feel mentally strong when life is going well, but at times

problems arise. A job loss, a natural disaster, an illness in the family, or a death

of a loved one is sometimes inevitable. When you’re mentally strong, you’ll be

more prepared to deal with life’s challenges. Benefits of increasing your mental

strength include:

• Increased resilience to stress—Mental strength is helpful in everyday life,

not just in the midst of a crisis. You’ll become better equipped to handle

problems more efficiently and effectively, and it can reduce your overall

stress level.

• Improved life satisfaction—As your mental strength increases, your

confidence will also increase. You’ll behave according to your values, which

will give you peace of mind, and you’ll recognize what’s really important in

your life.

• Enhanced performance—Whether your goal is to be a better parent, to

increase your productivity at the office, or to perform better on the athletic

field, increasing your mental strength will help you reach your full potential.

HOW TO DEVELOP MENTAL STRENGTH

You’ll never become an expert at anything by simply reading a book. Athletes

don’t become elite competitors after reading about their sport nor do top

musicians increase their musical abilities by simply watching other performers

play. They also have to practice.

The following thirteen chapters aren’t meant to be a checklist that you either

do or don’t do. They are a description of habits that everyone falls prey to

sometimes. It’s meant to help you find better ways to cope with life’s challenges

so you can avoid these pitfalls. It’s about growing, improving, and striving to

become a little better than you were yesterday.

Signature Strengths Exercise

The purpose of this exercise is to encourage you to own your signature strengths by finding new and more frequent uses for them. A signature strength has the following hallmarks:

A sense of ownership and authenticity (“This is the real me”)A feeling of excitement while displaying it, particularly at firstA rapid learning curve as the strength is first practicedA sense of yearning to find new ways to use itA feeling of inevitability in using the strength (“Try to stop me”)Invigoration rather than exhaustion while using the strengthThe creation and pursuit of personal projects that revolve around itJoy, zest, enthusiasm, even ecstasy while using it

Now please take the strengths survey. If you do not have access to the web, you can go to the Appendix and take a brief version of this test. On the website, you will get your results immediately and can print them out if you like. This questionnaire was developed by Chris Peterson, a professor at the University of Michigan, and has been taken by more than a million people from two hundred nations. You will have the benefit of being able to compare yourself to other

people like you. M. Seligman
