Why mental toughness is so important to me

Not ambition, not art, not travel, not wealth - a smile is essential to life.
The kind of smile that comes from a satiated heart.
Maria Kuncewiczowa, The Foreigner

I'm rushing through the answers 👇

✅ What is my score?

My MTQ Plus score is a 10 - the highest level possible, but believe me, when I left 🚑 from the corpo many years ago it was absolutely not like that... 🤕 . Fortunately, mental resilience is something we can work on and I have learned this lesson...in workshops and in my book I share the details of this story.

✅ Why is this an important topic for me?

A high level of mental toughness helps us to realise our plans and dreams - faster and more effectively while remaining optimistic, despite the difficulties we encounter. It has a real impact on our effectiveness, agility and well-being - which is why, it is an important and interesting area for me.

✅ What gives you a high level of mental toughness?

A person with a high level of mental toughness ( sten 8-10) has the ability to cope with high levels of pressure. She is confident in her abilities and often wants to take on challenging tasks believing that she will succeed. Usually does not mind criticism and does not take others' comments personally. In a team, she often expresses her opinion and is usually comfortable in a variety of social and professional relationships. Achievers are dedicated to the tasks assigned to them. Relentless, determined, they usually finish what they started. They are able to cope with unforeseen circumstances without unwanted stress; when problems arise, they usually do not give up, and try to see them as challenges and opportunities for personal growth rather than threats to their security. They believe they are in control of their lives. They feel that they are the masters of their own destiny and that they can influence the environment in which they find themselves. They are usually in control of their emotions and can handle difficult situations. These individuals tend to be calm and balanced in the face of pressure.

Nothing to add, nothing to take away 🙌 .
