How to be Tough, not just Happy

I was reading an article today that was talking about the way children are being taught to be caring, sympathetic and empathic, but that they may be missing a vital ingredient in their life skills kit.

Academics are saying that children who develop a mentally tough attitude increase their exam performance, positive behaviour and their aspirations.

They will be less likely to see themsleves as victims and less likely to be put off by initial failure.

But it's not only children that need to learn these skills.

How many adults do you know who could do with a more robust mental attitide?

Could you do with a more robust attitude?

It's things like learning how to set realistic and achievable goals that help with that. Learning anxiety control, improving your attention span and relaxation skills. Learning to take a chance when and opportunioty presents itself and see what happens!

These are all valuable life skills.

Realising that often the people who succeed, are not necassarily the best or the most intelligent or the most highly educated, they are often people that have the drive to do something and keep on with it.

You can't "positive think" your way to success.

You have to take control of your life!
