Doing hard times well

Have you noticed that some people seem to bounce back from setbacks while others get completely derailed? 

I've been chatting with clients lately who are finding things tougher than usual in business, relationships, or life in general. So if that's you right now, here's what I've learned about doing hard times well.

Your Mood Isn't the Enemy

We need to accept that moods naturally fluctuate for everyone. There's this belief that if we're feeling low, something must be wrong. But feeling rubbish sometimes is completely normal. In fact, fighting against a low mood usually just makes it stick around longer.

Look For Evidence: You've Done This Before

Remind yourself that you've navigated hard times before. I always share with my clients the importance of looking at evidence of past wins because our minds can become completely irrational and go straight to all the worst case scenarios. 

Become Discouragement Proof

Discouragement used to really get to me but I learned it was just my thinking creating those feelings. Once you recognise that discouragement isn't real information, you can move past it much faster and find a solution - or at least feel better! Then when you're in a good headspace, you can handle whatever life throws at you.

Get Out and Break the Pattern 

Finally, if you're going through a tough time, don't stick to your usual routine. Staying in the same environment with the same thoughts and feelings just makes it all fester.

In business and in life, you’re guaranteed to go through challenges. So don’t fall into the trap of trying to avoid challenges altogether or resist them when they inevitably come. Trust that you can and will navigate whatever obstacles come your way.
