If women were taught differently to support each other, not to compare themselves with others; if women stop looking down on their capability to be successful; or insisting on perfections, and if women learn to let go of all those wrong beliefs, they will thrive in full power towards success and better future.
Mentally strong women will do things differently because they have their own standards and beliefs. It is not about how you look, how popular you are or how much money you earn compared to others. It's about your character and how you live your life that matters.

How to become a mentally strong woman?
In a world where digital evolution has exposed our lives to people outside our closely-knit circle of friends and family, we often find ourselves under the pressure of self-comparison and self-shaming. Sometimes you just can't help but keep thinking about it. That's when governing your mental health and growing mental strength has become important in today's fast-paced world.
Mental strength takes a long time to develop. It is the daily practice of pushing yourself to grow stronger, maintaining realistic optimism and setting healthy boundaries. These are 10 ways to practice your mental health and become a mentally strong woman:
Stop feeling sorry for yourself - You should let go of what holds you back, appreciate yourself and be thankful more.
Don't give away your energy and power easily - You should not allow others to dominate you and avoid being emotionally dependent.
Be patient and don't expect immediate results - Expectations are the roots of all heartaches. Patience is what measures your real mental strength.
The world out there doesn't owe you anything - Stop playing the victim. You should know your worth. Don't do things for recognition, but do it for yourself because you value yourself.
Never fear alone time - Practice being alone sometimes to build up your mental strength. Your alone time will help you know yourself better.
Regret is your biggest enemy - Don't do the things that you will regret later on because regret feeling is a slow poison.
Don't envy other people's success or make them your benchmark - Jealousy is the quickest and easiest way to get you to commit mistakes. It will drive your happiness down or further feed your feeling of resentment. Congratulate other's success and focus on what you do and who you want to become.
Don't dwell on the past - Always believe that you are stronger today and 'now' is the time that really matters.
Don't be a people's pleaser - Be yourself instead! You need to respect yourself to make others respect you.
Embrace change. Change is your ticket to success - Don't be the same person for so long. Make yourself interesting by learning new things and doing things out of your comfort zone.
