5 rules of mental toughness:
 
1. It’s about speed to recovery
Everyone gets knocked off center.
Mental toughness is how quickly you regain control.
 
2. Mental toughness is a practice
Not a trait you’re born with.
Something you train daily, imperfectly, intentionally.
 
3. It’s not about not breaking
It’s about becoming anti-fragile
Using stress, pressure, and failure to get stronger.
 
4. Emotional awareness  
It’s not thick skin
It’s self-compassion without hating on yourself.
Being honest without being cruel.
 
5. Processing 
Assess the situation.
Separate facts from emotion.
Develop an opinion.
Act accordingly.
 
Mental toughness is about learning:

How to regulate when you feel off
Practicing resilience when you're not in the mood
Being reliable (to yourself) when you feel the pressure

Mental toughness isn't about avoiding the fall.
It's about how fast you bounce back once you do.

When life gets hard here’s a few things to try:


Move your body
Reflect on your days
Write to clear your mind
Spend time with people you love
Rise and wind down with sunlight

Little things go a long way.

Most people try to eliminate anxiety before speaking.
But, the best speakers...

Redirect it.

In the latest episode of Inside the Inspired, I sat down with performance coach and attorney Paul Marchegiani to unpack how to build presence even when you feel the pressure.

Paul trains executives and high performing attorneys around the country on how to build their presence to command the room. 

We talked about:

- How to leverage nerves as energy
- Build AI-Proof public speaking skills 
- Why persuasion is about rhythm (and how to find it)

If you’ve ever felt your message get lost because your nerves took over…

This conversation is for you.

Saturday is an underrated day to build self-belief.
Here’s 3 ways you can start:


1. Name The Standard
What’s the minimum standard that earns credibility with yourself today?
Define it clearly enough that you don’t negotiate with it later.

2. Keep Your Word
Do the thing you said you would.
Self-trust is built through follow-through.

3. Stack Proof
Self-belief is trained.
Build a mountain of evidence that makes it unreasonable for you to NOT believe in yourself.
It's just a game of reps.

Who would you become? 

Better yet... 

What would you create, design, or build if you believed in yourself that little bit more?

Snowy Sunday is a perfect time to check in with yourself.
2 questions worth thinking about:


1. What am I avoiding right now (and what would change if I faced it this week)?

2. What went well this week that I didn’t acknowledge?

Reflection is a life hack cause it leads to increased awareness.

Awareness drives progress.
Progress leads to growth.

I believe reflection is a life hack.
This weekend try this:


List 3 wins
List 3 losses
List 3 areas you could have improved
List 3 actions you’ll take next week

You build capacity and confidence with awareness into your life.

As in:

“What’s going well?”
“What could go better?”
“How can I get there?”

Thing is you have to be intentional about it.

If you float through life, then life happens to you.

Instead of you happening to life.

In an interview recently I was asked what I think about failure. It got me thinking.
Here’s my take:


If you aren’t failing you aren’t trying hard enough.

If you aren’t failing, then you aren’t playing big enough.

If you aren’t failing, you’re leaving opportunity to find your capacity on the table.

How you lose determines the kind of winner you become.

Failure itself isn’t the issue.
How you respond to failure is.

Do you analyze what you could’ve done better or shift the blame somewhere else?

Do you own the outcome and take responsibility for improving?

This year is just getting started.

In 2026, don’t let fear of failure stop you from aiming a bit higher, falling a bit further, and then getting right back up to pick up where you left off.

Failure isn’t the opposite of success.
It’s the stepping stone towards the vision.

Has failure helped you get closer to where you’re trying to go?

"I don't play to win or lose. I play to learn." Kobe Bryant
When the goal is learning:

You stay calm in losses
Grounded when you win
And focused on what’s next

Learning keeps your curiosity going.
Learning makes performance sustainable.
Learning is how you stay overcome the plateau.

The real edge is about having a commitment to getting a little better every time you show up.

Where are you still playing to prove you belong instead of playing to learn?
