Do You Believe That Your Life Experiences Have Made You Mentally Fit?

Every day of your life you are and have been making decisions. Basically, you are making good decisions and sometimes very difficult decisions. Have you been successful in completing your educational vocational goals?

You will probably agree with the following statement. You could not have obtained your current status in life without sweating, thinking clearly and making difficult decisions.

Aren’t you challenged everyday when you cope with life’s frustrations and problems? Life is full of problems, which you face on a daily basis. You have made the best choices available to you. This I firmly believe.

Therefore, it is a no-brainer. You have been successful and are successful. You have shown some mental strength, courage, and persistence by coping with your life on a daily basis. You have used your mental resources on a daily basis.

I must emphasize that I do not wish to offend anyone by suggesting that they need mental fitness training. I do not want to depreciate anyone’s abilities to succeed and their current efforts in coping with their lives.

However, mental fitness is a lot like physical fitness. There was a time that people thought they did not need physical fitness training. They thought that coping with the ordinary physical demands of their everyday living would make them physically fit. We now know that that is a false belief. Living one’s life on a daily basis does not make a person physically fit. If a person wants to be physically fit, then they must focus and commit to exercising on a frequent basis.

Likewise, coping with the mental demands of everyday living will not make you mentally fit. You can have mental successes in coping with your life without mental fitness training. However, coping with the mental demands of everyday living will not make you mentally fit.

Mental fitness and physical fitness are a lot alike. Coping with the everyday demands of life do not make a person physically or mentally fit. If you want to be mentally and physically fit, it is important to do mental and physical exercises.

If you thought that coping with everyday problems and life situations would make you mentally fit, might you be missing something?

Remember, You Will Live within the Environment Created by Your Choices!
