One of my favorite words in the entire world is neuroplasticity, neuro meaning brain and plasticity meaning plastic. The idea that our brain can change and can learn over the period of our lifetime is such a cool idea. So this week, I want to talk about how we can get mentally stronger through some of our habits. I will start with an example right after this.

One of the best ways to become mentally stronger is to control your focus. That's right, not think about certain things. Many people get overwhelmed because their problems seem so big, but perhaps the problem is that their attention is divided among too many things. Mental strength depends on focus, so you should choose what you think about. The lesson is very practical. When you focus on what you can influence, you are much happier.
