Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin 252 — Why Quitting Is a Sign of Mental Strength (And Could Be the Best Decision for Your Mental Health)
You've heard people say things like, "Never give up," or "The only way to fail is to quit." But, as a therapist, I see the dangers of adopting these mantras.
Blind persistence is an unhealthy mindset. It's often fed by ego and leads to a variety of mental health issues and practical problems. Sometimes, quitting is actually a sign of strength and the key to living your best life.
Some of the things I talk about today are:
- The dangers of unwavering persistence
- The benefits of grit and why it needs to be balanced with self-awareness
- 5 signs quitting might actually be the best decision
- How to develop a mindset that prioritizes mental and emotional well-being
- How to make a strategic choice to quit
- How to find the courage to walk away from the things that no longer suit you
