212. How To Be Awesome At Turning A Bad Day Into A Character Building Day

-Struggling SUCKS but it’s also what makes us stronger. 

-One of Lindsay’s favorite quotes is… 

Strength grows in the moments when you think you cannot go on but you keep going anyway. 

-It’s like how they say Billionaires kids have it the hardest.  Which sounds crazy but makes sense - if you’ve got it all - what’s there to work for.  And with very little struggles, how to you get strong and tough and independent? 

-Struggle makes us stronger.  Bottom line. 

Here are ways working through a BAD DAY can build character:

-Makes you more resourceful 

-Helps you prioritize and realize what matters most 

-More confident in your ability to weather the storms - it’s all about self esteem!!

-Helps you stay grounded 

-Helps you to understand and help others 

Ways to do it 

-Journal what happened and the lesson learned - how it makes you stronger. Then let it go!

-Flex your tough muscles - tell yourself- this sucks but I’m getting through it and will come out better because of it.

-Change your physical state / sweat

-Listen to loud music 

-Book self care/ alone time/ personal day 

-Eliminate something from your schedule

-Call or see someone awesome 

-Eat something yummy that makes you feel better

-Tell yourself “this is just a moment” 

-Get off social media 

-Focus on your 10s 

-Do something you don’t normally do 

-Book something to look forward to
