MYTH --- The Idea That You Can Build Mental Strength Is a Fleeting Pop Psychology Trend
Mental strength training isn't some New Age phenomenon that will go out of style. The idea that you can learn to regulate your thoughts, manage your emotions, and behave productively despite your circumstances is backed by research. Therapy techniques that teach those skills have been around since the 1960s.
Building your mental muscle is a lot like building physical muscle. If you want to become physically stronger, you'll need healthy habits -- like going to the gym. You'll also have to give up unhealthy habits -- like eating junk food. Building mental strength requires healthy habits -- like practicing gratitude -- while also giving up unhealthy behavior, like giving up after the first failure.
