What if you could build mental strength in just a few minutes a day? No complicated routines, no drastic life overhauls — just five practical habits that help you feel stronger and take more control of your life.

In this episode, I’m sharing the simple, everyday strategies I rely on (and teach my therapy clients) for improving mental strength so you can handle stress, overcome setbacks, and manage challenges with greater confidence.

Some of the things I talk about are:

• The 5 daily habits that will build mental strength — without turning your whole schedule upside down.


• Why practicing gratitude isn’t just a positive thinking fad, but an evidence-based way to build mental strength (plus practical ideas for making it a natural part of your day).


• How to challenge unhelpful thoughts and the key to gaining power over your mindset so you can build lasting mental strength.


• The big impact of doing something kind for others — and how acts of kindness help you become mentally stronger.


• The number one thing you can do to gain control over your emotions


• The single practice I use every day to build mental strength no matter what is going on around me.
