Mental toughness is about changing our thoughts and as a result our emotions, actions, behaviour and physiology, so that they are productive and helping us get where we want to go. Mental toughness is a discipline that we can use in many areas of our lives. Mental toughness is a philosophy for life and living; having the confidence to face change and life's challenges head-on. Mental toughness is realising our freedom and choice; taking action and accepting responsibility for our lives. Mental toughness is a set of attitudes, beliefs, thinking and behaviour that enables us to meet our aims, objectives and survival. Mental toughness is having a relentless commitment and focus on our goals; mental toughness is the ultimate in willpower, persistence and focused action

Mental Toughness - Think of it as part of the act of killing.
Many people head their articles or book chapters with a quote; this lends gravitas, authority and authenticity to whatever follows. On the whole I like a good quote, although seeing the same quotes and anecdotes repeatedly, (Edison and his light bulbs, Colonel Sanders and his chickens) starts to grate after a while. With that in mind, here is a quote that changed my life, from "The Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi (translated by Thomas Cleary). Have a read and I'll explain why. "FIVE KINDS OF GUARD"

Mental Toughness - Staying Goal Directed
We are all encouraged to have goals – to set objectives and have targets. When we think of goals, usually we only consider the big long-term goals, such as buying a home. However it is often our everyday goals and actions which we need to focus on in order to increase our happiness and make life more enjoyable. Our thoughts, emotions and behaviour can either support or undermine us in our pursuit of goals and objectives. Goal directed thinking and behaviour supports us in our aims, objectives and survival.

Mental Toughness - The labels we wear on the inside
You may often hear the phrase “you are what you eat” and clearly there is some truth in that; we are constantly reminded by the media and government to eat healthily. However, what we think is more important and in particular, that inner critical voice which we hear all day long. Our inner voice either supports us and makes us feel good or undermines our self-esteem and self-worth causing us to feel down. With that in mind I have included in this article a common thinking error called labelling, which can make anyone feel lousy. The simple truth is “You are what you think!”

Mental Toughness - Preferring Not Demanding
The following article looks at "demanding" and "preferring". Understanding the difference between these types of irrational and rational thinking is key to Mental Toughness. Demands are rigid thinking patterns and rules, where we insist that others, the world and ourselves must be a certain way, in order for us to be happy. Albert Ellis, who pioneered Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), called this rigid thinking "demandingness".

Mental Toughness - High Frustration Tolerance
Here is an essential principle of Mental Toughness We all experience frustration when our needs, wants and demands are not met, or when we are faced with obstacles that impede our progress. Frustration is a fact of life; therefore our ability to tolerate frustration is crucial to the successful achievement of our long-term goals.

Mental Toughness - Get a Grip
Bad events do happen, unpredictable events happen. For mental toughness we need to strive to keep negative events, together with our responses in proportion. We need to gain perspective, as some events are clearly worse than others. We are responsible for how bad we perceive events to be and it is within our control how we react to them. It is the attitudes and beliefs that we take to events (and not the events themselves), which determine whether we will be overwhelmed and become victims, or whether we will be resilient and recover.

Mental Toughness and Commitment
Mental Toughness and Commitment Recently, I have been interviewing people to work on a nightshift, for company in London. In addition to the candidates’ skills and experience I am keen to find out what thinking, beliefs and attitudes they hold and get some insight into what makes them tick. As you might expect I have my own style in order to get the right people and talent for the positions on offer.

Mental Toughness and The Meaning of Life
Mental Toughness and The Meaning of Life Here at Mental Toughness HQ we like to go after the “big fish” and ask the difficult questions. So along with the usual questions about their health and circumstances I will often ask clients “what and where is the meaning in your life?” In short, what I am getting at here is: What’s your purpose in living and being? - What’s the point of you?

Mental Toughness Versus Excuses
What’s your excuse? Can we really change who we are and how we think and behave? Can a leopard change its spots? I recently had this conversation with someone who wondered whether a therapist is merely painting over the “leopard’s spots” and that unde eath we all stay the same. Well, the fact is that I don’t see many leopards in my consulting room but I do see humans that change all the time. A healthy attitude to change is essential for mental toughness and resilience. Read on and I’ll discuss this issue further.
