1.
Develop
a Positive Mindset.
If you want to build mental toughness, start with a Positive Mindset. A positive mindset is nothing but a just shift in perception and attitude. For example: If you fall while learning to ride a bike; either you think it’s not meant for you or you know now how not to ride a bike and be careful. You don’t blame others or circumstances but yourself.

Establish
Mini-Goals
Set small goals for you like I will read the next 10 pages of the book without checking my phone.
I will read and reply to all email only after completing my assignment.
With each such goal you achieve, you‘ll gain more confidence in your ability to succeed. You will learn to challenge yourself along the way. You’ll learn to push yourself to achieve more.

3.
Find
Your Why?
One of the most important elements to building mental toughness is finding out your purpose for everything that you do and want to do.
If you don’t have a ‘why’ for whatever you are doing, you’re going to get distracted, disengaged soon as you experience your first setback.
“Why” is directly connected to the purpose. Make sure you have a strong purpose, because if you don’t have one then you will experience the biggest energy drain mentally.

Tolerate
discomfort for a greater purpose.
Push yourself to be the better version of yourself. If you run 1000 steps daily, challenge yourself to walk an extra 500 steps. This will bring you discomfort just for a shorter duration of time but in the long run, you know it will benefit your health only.
So, tolerating discomfort is related to long-term vision and purpose. The intense your tolerance is, the more confidence you garner to do difficult things.
