You can do hard things. Seriously, it might not be your preference, but you can do it! This week’s mantra is “I am strong & capable. I can keep trying even when things are hard.” It’s a good reminder that might help you keep trying, keep getting back up, keep pushing through. Of course, this mantra isn’t for times when the hard thing is toxic. It’s for those challenges in life that make us stronger and for the goals that we can look forward to reaching when the hard work is finally over. Kara Lawson, the coach of Duke women’s basketball said we have to “do hard better.” That sentiment has helped me when things are hard.
