Mental Fortitude
Kathy Mangan
The road to optimal well-being can be a crooked path. A second set of eyes can be just the ticket to identify the obstacles we put in our own path. I love working with people who are ready for their "next"!
When we think about strength and fortitude, many times we think about the physical strength or the mental strength needed to endure difficult times.? It is in those situations that we feel the most "tested".
Although that is absolutely true, I think we overlook the day-to-day process of managing our thoughts and the amount strength and perseverance THAT takes.? We all have minds that, to varying degrees, can go down the path of mental chaos.? Spinning thoughts, imagining scenarios that will likely never happen, you know what I mean.
Great strength and fortitude is required in each moment, each and every day to notice that tendency and shift our thinking tracks onto a path that is more useful and generative.? It just might be that our greatest feats of strength might be those seemingly small but constant shifts of perception.
For this coming week, notice how often your thoughts lead you in a direction away from what it is that is truly important to you.? Notice how often you need to intervene on your own behalf!
