The bestselling author of How to Escape from Prison,
prisoner-turned-psychologist Paul Wood on developing the mental
strength and fitness to take on all of life's challenges Getting
and staying mentally fit, just like getting and maintaining a high
level of physical fitness, involves hard work, effort, and
consistency. Our level of mental fitness determines how effectively
we can flourish through adversity, realise our potential, and be
happier with our lives - regardless of what the universe has in
store. We all know about mental stress (or we think we do). We've
definitely all experienced it, and none of us like it. Yet this is
not a threat to be avoided. Mental stress is perfectly analogous to
physical stress: it is the mind's way of telling us that what we
are attempting to perform is challenging our resource. This is a
catalyst for growth, and a sign we are pursuing our potential. When
we experience stress, we have a choice: we can heed that signal and
give up - after all, we're meant to stay in our psychic comfort
zone all the time, right? Or we can recognise the discomfort we are
feeling is simply nature's way of enabling us to rise to the
occasion. In Mental Fitness you will learn how to: Increase your
mental fitness, just as you would increase your physical fitness
Get closer to your potential by working proactively to maintain
your mental fitness Experience the right level of stress (this is
what makes us get fitter) Cope effectively for longer before you
get fatigued or exhausted (it doesn't mean you don't feel the
struggle) Pay attention to the indicators of fatigue to avoid
burnout and unnecessary misery
