There are many ways to build mental toughness, but being authentic is the best way. Here's why:

1) Mental Flexibility

As you begin to get in touch with and master your emotions, you will increase your ability to handle life changes with a strong mind.

2) Making Tough Decisions

Being in-tune with yourself makes it easier for you to discern what should stay in your life and keeps your mind what should go even when it is a difficult decision.

3) Build Good Habits

Having a clear understanding of what you need allows you to delay gratification and create good routines and habits that develop your future self.

4) Resilience

As a student of life, you see that life has its ups and downs, so you don't panic when plans fail or when you're thrown a curveball. You are quicker to accept what is and move forward even stronger than before.

5) Reduced Self-Doubt

Knowing yourself increases your confidence. Your accurate self-perception makes it easier to discern your own voice from your negative inner critic.

6) Hopeful for the Future

Your hope for the future allows you to endure uncomfortable circumstances, because you know they are temporary.

7) Move on Quicker

Bad situations aren't necessarily a reflection on you, life just happens sometimes. You don't ruminate when unexpected things happen. You learn from whatever happens and move on swiftly.
