The loss of a loved one, a health problem, relationship issues, and financial troubles are just a few of the hardships most people face at one time or another.<\/p>\n<p>The way you think about life&#8217;s inevitable obstacles affects your ability to cope with tough times. Developing a productive inner dialogue is one of the most productive ways <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inc.com\/amy-morin\/8-things-mentally-strong-people-do-every-single-day.html\">mentally strong people keep building their mental muscle<\/a>. Repeating positive, yet realistic affirmations can drown out the negative thoughts that can hold you back.<\/p>\n<p>Here are nine things to remember when you&#8217;re going through tough times.<\/p>\n<h2>1. I have what I need to get through this.<\/h2>\n<p>Thinking things like &#8220;I can&#8217;t do this&#8221; or &#8220;This isn&#8217;t fair&#8221; will cause you to feel defeated. Rather than insist you need more, remember what you already have. If you&#8217;ve made it this far in life, you clearly have some skills, tools, and resources already in place.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Living according to my values is what really matters.<\/h2>\n<p>There are going to be people who won&#8217;t like you and times when people will disagree with the decisions you make. But your job isn&#8217;t to please everyone. Be brave enough to live according to your values, even when that means making unpopular decisions.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Failure is part of the road to success.<\/h2>\n<p>Failure isn&#8217;t fun, but beating yourself up over it won&#8217;t help. Each time you fall down, it serves as proof you&#8217;re pushing yourself to new limits. Remember that each failure is an opportunity to grow stronger and become better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inc.com\/amy-morin\/9-mantras-that-will-keep-you-mentally-strong-in-tough-times.html?cid=readmore\" target=\"_blank\">CONTINUE THIS ARTICLE BY CLICKING HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY\u00a0AMY MORIN The way you think about adversity affects your ability to persevere.
