I Can Do Hard Things

What happens when it gets hard?

My baby was sick the other day. Not too bad, but not good either.

It was one of those parenting days—moms, you know how it goes—where you’re taking things hour by hour, minute by minute—survival mode.

My singular focus? Making sure my kids were taken care of and that my baby was comforted. That was it.

The whole time, I was telling myself: “I can do hard things.”

When I was pregnant, and going through it in the first trimester while taking care of a toddler, my focus was having a positive attitude even when I felt like crap.

The whole time, I was telling myself: “I can do hard things.”

In the past few years, that phrase has gotten me through some tough times, in life and business:

👉🏼 Difficult clients (business owners, you know what I’m talking about)

👉🏼 Slow seasons where rejection is rampant and bookings are nonexistent

👉🏼 Motherhood struggles where I set aside my needs and wants to care for my two young children

“I can do hard things.” And so can you.

My reminder: your attitude is the only thing you can control.

And strengthening that—by building up your confidence by talking to yourself positively—can be the difference between you doing the thing and, well, not.

What’s a time in your life when you’ve struggled and made it to the other side? What’s helped you the most?
