#14 When Things Are(n't) Hard

Send us a text

Do you constantly tell yourself that certain tasks are "too hard"? From waking up early to putting down your phone, we label countless everyday activities as difficult when they're simply uncomfortable. This mindset creates unnecessary barriers in our lives, preventing us from taking actions that could lead to meaningful growth and positive change.

As a certified life and mindset coach, I've noticed this pattern repeatedly in my clients and even caught myself falling into the same trap. When we examine what makes something "hard," we often discover it's just resistance to feeling emotional discomfort. The most damaging aspect of this habit is that our brains believe what we repeatedly tell them. By constantly framing activities as "too hard," our minds accept this as truth, shutting down before we even attempt the task.

Think about the areas where you use this excuse. Perhaps it's prayer, exercise, healthy eating, or having difficult conversations. The question isn't "Is this hard?" but rather "What am I avoiding, and why?" Breaking free from this mindset requires eliminating "it's so hard" from your vocabulary, replacing it with questions like "How can I make this easier?" and taking decisive action. Like training for a race, each small challenge we overcome builds our capacity to handle bigger ones. By embracing discomfort in small things, we prepare ourselves for life's marathon, developing the perseverance needed for whatever lies ahead.
