Women are often tagged ‘tough, relentless, strong’, even ‘ruthless’ in some cases.  They are not treated as equals to men. Hence, they have to demand what they want and work twice if not three times as hard as the men to reach the top. This is not an easy feat and it takes a strong mentality. Who are mentally strong women? Let’s look at 7 characteristics of a mentally strong woman:

A Risk Taker and a Good Decision Maker

Instead of hiding behind others, waiting for decisions to be made and simply nodding her head in agreement. The mentally strong woman takes charge and makes good decisions. She remains level headed as she calculates the pros and cons of the risks she takes. She does not hesitate to do so when she has to.

Confidence and Optimism Personified

All women with a strong mentality are always in the front lines and spotlight, breaking barriers and setting the pace for others. They are optimistic about their moves, risks and decisions.

Top-notch Multitasking Ability

A woman with a strong mentality will be able to juggle family, social, as well as secular life while still having some time for herself. More so, these are mentally, physically and emotionally draining, but after she has met all the demands of her life’s spheres, she stands tall.

Fast Recovery from Past Mistakes
