StoryShots Summary and Analysis of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy Morin
Amy Morin’s Perspective
Amy Morin is a psychotherapist, mental strength trainer, and international bestselling author. She’s a highly sought-after keynote speaker who gave one of the most popular TEDx talks of all time. Her books have been translated into more than 30 languages. Amy is a columnist for Inc., Forbes, and Psychology Today. Her articles on mental strength reach more than 2 million readers each month.
StoryShot #1: Mentally Strong People Don’t Feel the World Owes Them Anything
No matter how intelligent you are or what life has thrown at you, there is no way to become more deserving of success than anyone else.
If a person loses their business and feels indebted, they’re inviting more frustration and anger into their life. Mentally strong people can shift their focus away from their debt. Hence, they can help people in need. Mentally strong people keep themselves busy doing good deeds.
If you follow this guidance, you can stop wasting time, stop feeling like you are owed something and stop resenting others’ success.
StoryShot #2: Mentally Strong People Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves
By far, the most harmful drug is self-pity. It is addictive, provides only temporary pleasure, and disconnects people from reality.
No one is immune to hard times. However, it is how you react to these situations that is important. Mentally strong individuals do not spend precious time pitying themselves. They replace self-pity with gratitude.
Amy Morin provides an example of an American long-distance runner, Marla Runyan. She ran the New York Marathon in a little over two hours. Marla also has a master’s degree in education and has written a book. The most impressive aspect of all this is that she is legally blind.
The key to her success lies in her refusal to indulge in self-pity. She’s always refused to identify her illness as a disability. Rather than dwelling on what her illness took away, she’s grateful for what it gave her.
In addition, research suggests that developing your gratitude capacity can strengthen you on many levels. In the first place, gratitude improves your physical well-being. A 2003 study found that grateful people suffer less from aches and pains.
