“Positive thinking is a valuable tool that can help you overcome obstacles, deal with pain and reach new goals.”
"It can be easy to get swept up into catastrophizing the situation once your thoughts become negative. When you begin predicting doom and gloom, remind yourself that there are many other potential outcomes."
- Amy Morin
Awareness
"If you quit every time you face a new challenge, giving up can change how you view yourself. You may begin to think you're weak or that you're a failure because you can't seem to stick with things long enough to see positive results."
- Amy Morin
Self-awareness
"Just because something feels scary doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Fear does not equal danger."
- Amy Morin
Courage
"Striving for success is healthy - but believing you need to succeed the first time around may backfire. Mentally strong people believe failure is part of the process toward a long journey to success. By viewing failure as a temporary setback, they're able to bounce back and move forward with ease."
- Amy Morin
Motivation
"Everyone has the ability to increase resilience to stress. It requires hard work and dedication, but over time, you can equip yourself to handle whatever life throws your way without adverse effects on your health. Training your brain to manage stress won't just affect the quality of your life, but perhaps even the length of it."
- Amy Morin
Resilience
"One of the most challenging aspects of fitness is overcoming obstacles."

Overcoming Obstacles
"In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity."
- Albert Einstein
Overcoming Obstacles
"Not knowing you can’t do something, is sometimes all it takes to do it."

Overcoming Obstacles
"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
- Michael Jordan
Overcoming Obstacles
"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
