They do not focus on things they can't control from "summary" of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin
Mentally strong individuals understand that worrying about things beyond their control is a waste of time and energy. They recognize that they cannot change certain situations or outcomes, so they choose to direct their focus and efforts towards things they can influence. By accepting the limits of their control, they free themselves from unnecessary stress and anxiety. Rather than getting caught up in what they can't change, mentally strong people concentrate on taking proactive steps within their power. They channel their energy into areas where they can make a difference, whether it's in their own behavior, attitude, or choices. This proactive approach empowers them to tackle challenges head-on and work towards positive outcomes. Furthermore, mentally strong individuals understand that obsessing over uncontrollable factors only hinders their progress and growth. Instead of getting bogged down by external circumstances, they shift their mindset towards what they can do to navigate challenges effectively. This shift in focus allows them to maintain a sense of agency and control in the face of adversity. By letting go of the need to control everything, mentally strong people embrace flexibility and adaptability. They understand that life is unpredictable, and not everything will go according to plan. Rather than resisting this reality, they choose to flow with the ups and downs, adjusting their approach as needed. This flexibility enables them to navigate change with grace and resilience.- Mentally strong individuals embody the serenity prayer: "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." By focusing on what they can control and letting go of the rest, they empower themselves to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives.
