What You’ll Learn About Mental Health and Mental Strength

There’s a big difference between being mentally strong and just acting tough. Sometimes, it’s important to push through pain and even set your feelings aside so you can get something done. It’s important to push yourself sometimes and to step back and take care of yourself at other times. 

Quotes From Lisa

I need to stop waiting for other people to come and fix me because right now I am giving my power over. I need to stop looking outside for other people to save me. I need to recognize I am absolutely the hero of my own life.Where is that line between being tough, where it’s needed because in business you do need to be tough, but also where you can give yourself grace?
