Developing such inner strength takes practice.
1. Embrace your worth. Perhaps you tend to come down hard on yourself as the reason for your challenging experiences. Yet truthfully, they might not be your fault at all, as others may be in control of the situation that causes the difficulty!

* Embracing your own worth is extremely important, so you don't wrongly persecute yourself and cause even more stress. Yes, we do often play a role in our trying situations. However, letting yourself off the hook for the parts that aren't yours is important, too!

* Face the situation for what it truly is and have the courage to believe, "Is it true? Is it always true?" If you know 100 or 1M people, you have 100 or 1M reputations; remember, what you can control is how you react.

* Focus on the positive impact you've made in your own life and the lives of others.

* Believe in your ability to overcome the circumstances.

2. Be optimistic. This, too shall pass. Regardless of the seriousness of the situation, you're confronted with, it's not going to last forever! It might be really rough now. It might even be extreme. But focus on the end of the tunnel - where there is always light.

* When dealing with the issue, start planning for when it finally passes. Set a time to say; I'm stressed about......when our minds know there is a finite time, it settles down; it does not like uncertainty.
3. Breathe deeply. Deep breathing regularly can really help to relax you! Staying calm and positive is as much about mental toughness as it is about being physically at ease. Give it a try and feel the difference in your mental and physical states!

Strength lies within you. Through practicing these tips, you'll come to trust that you have the ability to overcome whatever you face. Day by day, you'll develop the resolve to face your challenges head-on with confidence, regardless of how bad things may seem.
