If you’ve ever wondered how some people face life’s toughest moments with unwavering resilience, you are not alone! I’m Gianna Badot, a certified hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, and one-on-one coach. In this post, I’m sharing my top three ways to train your mind to become mentally strong—straight from my latest podcast episode.

Why Mental Strength Matters

Let’s be real—life throws us challenges from every direction. Business, relationships, personal health… it’s not always smooth sailing. The key to not just surviving, but thriving through it all, is mental toughness. If we don’t have that “muscle” developed, each new challenge can feel overwhelming.

But here’s the good news: mental toughness is a skill you can train and strengthen, just like a muscle at the gym!

Tip #1: Remember You’ve Overcome Hard Things Before

When you’re in the thick of something hard, my best advice is to look back and remember a time when you overcame a difficult challenge—big or small. Maybe it was heartbreak, grief, a business setback, or something from childhood that stretched your limits.

Why does this matter? You’re reminding your subconscious that you are capable. You have evidence from your own life that you can make it through hard times! This empowers you to face your current challenges with the mental strength you’ve already demonstrated.

How to do this:

• Take a moment, close your eyes, and recall vividly a time you made it through something tough.
• Channel the feeling and energy of strength from that past version of yourself.
• Tell yourself, “If I did it before, I can do it again.”

Tip #2: Use Self-Hypnosis to Shift Your Identity

The next powerful strategy is self-hypnosis. It’s not just for show—self-hypnosis is a tool to reprogram your subconscious and shift your identity to someone who is mentally strong by default.

Here’s how you can try this:

• Get comfortable and close your eyes.
• Enter a relaxed, trance-like state with some calming breaths.
• Visualize yourself as the strongest, most resilient version of yourself. See yourself handling life’s obstacles with confidence and resourcefulness.
• Let yourself “become” that mentally tough person in your mind.

This identity shift is crucial. The more you see yourself as already mentally strong, the more you’ll naturally rise to challenges instead of shrinking from them.

Tip #3: Physically Challenge Yourself Every Day

The mind and body are deeply connected. When you push yourself physically, you build both physical AND mental toughness. Even simple daily challenges—lifting a heavier weight, running when you don’t feel like it, or nailing a difficult yoga pose—help train your mind for resilience.

My advice:

• Do something physically challenging every day, even if it’s a small stretch beyond your comfort zone.
• Don’t save hard things for “later.” Face them now.
• Remember, every time you push through physical discomfort, you’re building both muscle and mental grit.

Final Thoughts on Becoming Mentally Strong

Mental toughness isn’t about never struggling. It’s about meeting challenges head-on, remembering your past victories, rewiring your self-image, and embracing the discomfort that leads to growth.
