Mentally strong people have healthy habits. They manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in ways that set them up for success in life. Check out these things that mentally strong people don\u2019t do so that you too can become more mentally strong.<\/p>\n

1. They Don\u2019t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people don\u2019t sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances or how others have treated them. Instead, they take responsibility for their role in life and understand that life isn\u2019t always easy or fair.<\/p>\n

2. They Don\u2019t Give Away Their Power<\/strong>
\nThey don\u2019t allow others to control them, and they don\u2019t give someone else power over them. They don\u2019t say things like, \u201cMy boss makes me feel bad,\u201d because they understand that they are in control over their own emotions and they have a choice in how they respond.<\/p>\n

3. They Don\u2019t Shy Away from Change<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people don\u2019t try to avoid change. Instead, they welcome positive change and are willing to be flexible. They understand that change is inevitable and believe in their abilities to adapt.<\/p>\n

4. They Don\u2019t Waste Energy on Things They Can\u2019t Control<\/strong>
\nYou won\u2019t hear a mentally strong person complaining over lost luggage or traffic jams. Instead, they focus on what they can control in their lives. They recognize that sometimes, the only thing they can control is their attitude.<\/p>\n

5. They Don\u2019t Worry About Pleasing Everyone<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people recognize that they don\u2019t need to please everyone all the time. They\u2019re not afraid to say no or speak up when necessary. They strive to be kind and fair, but can handle other people being upset if they didn\u2019t make them happy.<\/p>\n

6. They Don\u2019t Fear Taking Calculated Risks<\/strong>
\nThey don\u2019t take reckless or foolish risks, but don\u2019t mind taking calculated risks. Mentally strong people spend time weighing the risks and benefits before making a big decision, and they\u2019re fully informed of the potential downsides before they take action.<\/p>\n

7. They Don\u2019t Dwell on the Past<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people don\u2019t waste time dwelling on the past and wishing things could be different. They acknowledge their past and can say what they\u2019ve learned from it. However, they don\u2019t constantly relive bad experiences or fantasize about the glory days. Instead, they live for the present and plan for the future.<\/p>\n

8. They Don\u2019t Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people accept responsibility for their behavior and learn from their past mistakes. As a result, they don\u2019t keep repeating those mistakes over and over. Instead, they move on and make better decisions in the future.<\/p>\n

9. They Don\u2019t Resent Other People\u2019s Success<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people can appreciate and celebrate other people\u2019s success in life. They don\u2019t grow jealous or feel cheated when others surpass them. Instead, they recognize that success comes with hard work, and they are willing to work hard for their own chance at success.<\/p>\n

10. They Don\u2019t Give Up After the First Failure<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people don\u2019t view failure as a reason to give up. Instead, they use failure as an opportunity to grow and improve. They are willing to keep trying until they get it right.<\/p>\n

11. They Don\u2019t Fear Alone Time<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people can tolerate being alone and they don\u2019t fear silence. They aren\u2019t afraid to be alone with their thoughts and they can use downtime to be productive. They enjoy their own company and aren\u2019t dependent on others for companionship and entertainment all the time but instead can be happy alone.<\/p>\n

12. They Don\u2019t Feel the World Owes Them Anything<\/strong>
\nMentally strong people don\u2019t feel entitled to things in life. They weren\u2019t born with a mentality that others would take care of them or that the world must give them something. Instead, they look for opportunities based on their own merits.<\/p>\n

13. They Don\u2019t Expect Immediate Results<\/strong>
\nWhether they are working on improving their health or getting a new business off the ground, mentally strong people don\u2019t expect immediate results. Instead, they apply their skills and time to the best of their ability and understand that real change takes time.<\/p>\n
