Amy Morin, LCSW is a psychotherapist and the editor-in-chief of Verywell Mind. She's the host of The Verywell Mind Podcast and an international bestselling author of 4 books on mental strength. 

Memorable Moments: 

4:57: Mental strength is all about the way you think, the way you feel, and the way you behave...It’s not just I need this because I'm going to go through tragedy someday, it’s about saying how do I reach my greatest potential?

5:49: Mentally strong people don’t feel sorry for themselves. Self-pity is different from sadness. Sadness is healing - that part of the process is really good for us. Sometimes, allowing us to be sad helps us honor something that we lost. The best antidote to self-pity is gratitude. If you start doing that in life, it trains your brain to focus on the good.

7:58: Don’t give away your power. I’m in charge of how I think, how I feel, how I behave. Switching that language makes a huge difference. It’s a powerful shift to change the dynamic of the day.
