A person can be emotionally strong, by not letting others effect there emotional well being. Other peoples negative opinions of you shouldn't let you see yourself differently when you look in the mirror. You are you, we are all individually different but that's what makes you even more special! Best wishes :)

Awesome question! I believe it can be different for each person and depends on what you see as strength. Some see strength as ability to weather hardships. We each might handle them differently. For me, I find strength in accepting I am human and bound to make mistakes and learn from them. Accepting we might have a bad day once in a while and forgiving ourselves when we goof up helps me to. I think it is something you kind of learn over time and with experience and is gonna be based on your perception of strength. What do feel is considered being emotionally strong?

Being able to admit that they cry, that they hurt. To have a total breakdown. To be at the very end of their rope. Then, to fight back and take control over their life and their happiness. To be broken and to still be willing to take on anything.

It is many things, but most of all, it is the ability to move on. Grit plays a role, in that it lets you persevere through the situation itself, but once the dust settles, it becomes time to forgive and forget. That is what emotionally strong people: they are not held back by the past and so they can continue to improve.

I think there are a lot of factors which play into that. Knowing who you are and what you value. Having loving and supportive people in your life. Being part of a nurturing community. And being able to express who you are and be accepted by society.

Strong-"not easily disturbed, upset or affected. Showing determination, self-control and good judgement". From what I've learned, be true to self. Love and accept yourself, before sharing that with others. That's the fundamentals of being "strong". And of course, my go-to is using the breath. Take advantage of the breath, it's there for a reason. So often we forget to use it, and it's such a simpler thing to do. When self is in some sort of distress, breath in peace and exhale release and let go of whatever doesn't serve you. Take. Care. Of. Self.
