What are the key traits of mentally strong people?

Being mentally strong at work is critical to your success. How you build that mental muscle though, is often something that people don’t think about a lot while at work. 

Here are seven ways you can be mentally strong at work: 

1. Embrace Change 

2. Be willing to take risks 

3. Learn from the past and look toward the future 

4. Stay positive 

5. “Celebrate what you’ve accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.” 

6. Focus on what you can control 

7. Keep your eyes on the big picture 

What’s your big picture? Is it building the playbook on how to grow a start up? Is it leading and inspiring a team to be at their best? Is it raising a great family and having great work life balance? 

Whatever your big picture is, stay focused on it. Don’t get dragged down by the small stuff. 
Now go out there and make it happen
