I used to do this practice every day, but somehow forgot about it. Every morning, I would go outside and think about being grateful for the things in my life that were difficult and/or stressful. The thing about hard times is that’s where you grow the most.
Just like building muscles needs resistance, so do our minds. Hard times create mental toughness that helps you get through even harder times. The other thing I found is when I focused on being grateful for the difficulties, things felt a little lighter.
Rather than being bothered by stress, it reframed it as something that is a necessary part of life and growth. I’ll have to get back to this practice.

Facts. The brain is like any other muscle. You have to approach things outside of the box so it puts strain on the brain which causes it to think deeper. Like an onion. Thats what I received from that powerful post.

So true. It forces you to challenge your perception of your skills or mindset.
We would say in the Marines, “we ain’t training unless it’s raining”. The difficult situations make us better.
