Today, let’s take cues from Oprah and explore three things mentally strong women don’t do.
Think of this as a basic guide to becoming the stronger woman you always knew you were.
Join me in uncovering the wisdom of Oprah and learning what strong women don’t do.
In this blog post you’ll learn to become mentally stronger by not doing these three things:
- Skip approval-seeking; own your worth like Oprah.
- Don’t dwell on challenges; change your mindset and move forward.
- Avoid self-criticism; choose self-love as the core of mental strength.
What Are 3 Things Mentally Strong Women Don't Do?
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” –Oprah Winfrey
Building mental strength is key, especially for women.
It’s not just given; it’s earned. And, hey, you’re on the right track – especially once you kick these three things.
1. Mentally Strong Women Don't Have Time to Seek Approval
You, as a mentally strong woman, know that seeking approval from others is like depending on what they think.

Following Oprah’s advice to “Surround yourself with people who lift you higher,” you understand it’s better to focus on real connections.
Instead of seeking approval, you go for relationships that help you grow, support your journey, and make you feel empowered to be yourself.
With those who lift you higher, you find strength within, steering clear of needing approval from others. It’s about owning your strength and staying true to yourself.
2. Mentally Strong Women Don't Dwell on Challenges
Facing life’s challenges is like navigating unexpected detours on our daily drive.
We’re inclined to stick to the familiar, but as Oprah says, “Challenges are gifts that force us to grow.” Instead of roadblocks, they’re more like surprising turns leading to unexplored paths.
Picture your usual commute – a routine drive until construction prompts detours, unveiling hidden shortcuts.
Similarly, daily challenges push us out of our comfort zones, refining our skills and uncovering resilience we didn’t know we had.
So, next time you encounter an unexpected turn in your routine, remember the destination is still reachable, and the fresh perspective gained is worth every twist.
3. Mentally Strong Women Don't Criticise Themselves
You got this inner voice, you know? The one that loves to whisper, “Uh oh, messed up again”? It might feel like a familiar buddy, but let’s be real, it’s more like a frenemy, chipping away at your confidence.
Oprah says it best: “Look inward – the love starts with you!”
Think about it, would you ever tear down a friend? No way! So why give the inner critic free rent in your head?
Remember, the biggest critic isn’t some shadowy figure, it’s the one whispering in your ear.
Kick that judge out and unleash your inner champion – the kind, understanding version of you that deserves to shine!
Conclusion
And here we go one last time! There are three things mentally strong women, like you and Oprah, don’t do.
First up, you don’t seek approval from others.
Second, challenges? You don’t avoid them; you face them like a champ.
Lastly, you don’t talk down to yourself. Let’s ditch those habits and focus on your inner strength, growth, and self-love.
Sounds good, right? Here’s to embracing your resilience and keeping that mindset strong! Cheers to you and a future filled with empowerment!
