The difference between mental strength and mental health becomes easier to understand when compared to the difference between physical health and physical strength. Building bigger muscles can improve your physical health. However, big muscles don’t guarantee you will never deal with a physical health problem like high cholesterol.
While a health issue might make it a little more challenging to go to the gym and workout, you can still make choices that help you grow stronger even when you have a physical health problem.
The exercises that build mental strength will also improve your mental health. And better mental health makes it easier to grow mentally strong.
