Amy Morin Ted Talk: The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong
Ken writes that no matter what you're going through, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, and a little bit mentally stronger.
The secret to becoming mentally strong is to give up your bad mental habits.
Just like becoming physically strong, you need to go to the gym and work out but in addition to that you also need to stop eating junk food.
Mental strength is the same. You practice gratitude and also give up the bad habits like resenting somebody else's success or it will hold you back.

Amy shares her personal tragedies that helped her understand mental strength.
Just one small change is where it starts.

Kanitha graduated last year from Midwifery. Courtney just passed her national nursing final exam.
