    Growing mentally stronger will change your life and therapist Amy Morin wants to show you how to make it happen.

    Whether you want to improve your mental health, boost your resilience, gain emotional intelligence, or gain a competitive edge that will help you reach your greatest potential, this show is for you.

    Mentally Stronger provides therapist-approved strategies for tackling the biggest battle we all face–the one in our minds.

    No one understands the importance of having mental strength more than Amy. Her personal journey surrounding grief and loss has led to her to take a deep dive into mental strength. And now, she’s sharing what she learned along the way.

    Show notes

    You've likely heard about the importance of living abundantly and giving up a scarcity mindset, but how do you actually do that? Knowing how to let go of a scarcity mindset and doing it are two different things.

    • Why attachments hold us back.

    • Practical strategies to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset.
    • Why focusing on the present moment enhances mental strength and well-being.
    • How gratitude and authenticity play a pivotal role in creating a more joyful life.

    Some of the things I share are:

    • What locus of control is and how it develops.
    • The difference between internal and external locus of control.
    • Why having too much control can backfire and the downsides to not believing you have enough control.
    • The surprising ways our beliefs about control influence our mental health and relationships.
    • A quiz to help you find out where you fall on the control spectrum.
