It's day three of our mental toughness development challenge and we're going to talk about the importance of learning how to let go!

We constantly hold on to things we have no influence over and can't control. We find it tough to get over negative events from the past and we struggle with any degree of uncertainty.

This mindset will hold you back. It will weigh you down and that will take a toll on your mental resilience.

When you learn to let go of the things you can't control you free yourself to focus more of your energy on the things that you can control!

I hope you're as excited to free yourself from the past and the uncertainties of the future as I am.

Learning how to let go will go along way to developing a winning mindset that will allow you to overcome some of the biggest challenges in your life!

On day two of our mental toughness challenge we're talking about gratitude.

The mentality that "the grass is greener on the other side" has taken our generation by storm. We want rewards without having to put in the work.

This mentality prevents us from being grateful for the moment and appreciating the many things that we already have. 

The truth is, millions of people would likely trade spots with you in a heartbeat. Not being grateful for the things you have right now is a slap in the face to every one of them.

There's no reason you can't strive for more and try to improve yourself while also being grateful for the many opportunities you already have.

So let's cover why learning to be grateful can be an important step on your journey to developing your unbreakable mind.

In day one of our mental toughness development challenge we're covering self-reflection.

If you want to develop mental toughness you need to understand who you are. You need to understand what you value and where your shortcomings are. You need to know where your strengths are as well as your weaknesses.

There's no better way to way to gain that self-awareness through learning how to engage in raw, honest, and sometimes even brutal self-reflection. 

This is why we cover this crucial skill in day one of our mental toughness development challenge!

So strap in, grab your notebook, and let's get to work on developing your unbreakable mind!
