The last few weeks of the semester are often the most mentally draining. It can be easy to fall into bad habits and mental breakdowns, which are never helpful when you’re trying to finish strong. Recently, I read a book by psychologist Amy Morin called “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do”, and I found her tips to be very empowering and motivating. So, I’m going to share her main tips here. I hope you find them helpful!
1: Don’t waste time feeling sorry for yourself
2: Don’t give away your power
3: Don’t shy away from change
4: Don’t focus on things you can’t control
5: Don’t worry about pleasing everyone
6: Don’t fear taking calculated risks
7: Don’t dwell on the past
8: Don’t make the same mistakes over and over
9: Don’t resent other people’s success
10: Don’t give up after the first failure
11: Don’t fear alone time
12: Don’t feel the world owes you anything
13: Don’t expect immediate results
