Reimagine Mental Toughness. Heal yourself. Heal the World.
Become part of the movement
Our collective perspective of mental toughness is missing the mark. A new perspective is vital to healing ourselves and the world.
The new, whole perspective of mental toughness has to include the part where we return to the painful feelings, the trauma that we bury at the moment that we face the situation with the resilient-driven mental toughness to survive. The return is where true mental toughness is tested.
What if there is a shortcut?
What if it’s been there the whole time, cut through the dense dark forest alongside the mountain?
What if we’ve avoided it for so long because someone, sometime, somewhere told someone else that the long road over the mountain is the safer route, and that idea stuck?
What if we recognize the shortcut, pave it, upload it to Google Maps and make it the new way? What if believing there’s an easy fix to the mental health crisis is the start of one?
