I ran across this and thought it might be helpful for some.
I know they're easier said than done, but these are still pretty good tips.
7 Things People with Emotional Toughness Do Differently
1. They take control.
There are two types of people in the world: Those who believe in fate, and those who believe they have control over things. Stop worrying about things that happen to you and start making things happen for you.
2. They’re flexible.
Life doesn’t always go as planned. So, it’s better to be able to pivot when you need to. Being flexible means you’re open to the unexpected and won’t crumble when something inevitably changes.
3. They learn from their mistakes.
You can either choose to crumble from your mistakes, or make them tools for your future. Look at those slip ups as training and refrain from letting them define you.
4. They create specific goals — then conquer them.
Sometimes, you’re mentally all over the places, because you have no direction. What are you doing? Why?
Write down that goal, then reap the benefits.
5. They look for acceptance from themselves, not others.
Most of us want other people to like us, but strength comes from within. Ironically, many people don’t like you until you stop caring whether or not others like you.
6. They keep their stress in check.
Find out what helps you lower your stress level.
Stress makes it harder for people to control their emotions.
7. They let the little things roll off their back.
Stop sweating the small stuff. Your mental strength is a finite supply. So, don’t wear yourself down. Although you should accept that you have control over your life, don’t turn into a control freak.
