You can do hard things
I had the privilege of babysitting my grandkids last week, and it was hard for my hubby and me mostly because we're older now and have less energy than we used to. Despite the fact that it was hard, we powered through - why? Because our babies were counting on us to keep them sheltered, safe, fed, protected and loved. That was our job until their parents came home. So, we did the hard things - staying up to comfort crying toddlers; changed out the menu fifteen hundred times until we landed on something they would eat; child-proofed rooms; watched silly videos; and did loads of crafts that involved slime and sparkles.
The other thing we did with intention that week was try to instill in their little 5 and 2-year-old minds that they too, can do hard things. Missing your parents is hard. Going to bed in an unfamiliar room is hard. Trying new foods is hard. Doing that thing on the playground is hard. But it is do-able. Everything is figure-out-able. Just because it's hard doesn't make it impossible. As we reminded our little loves that they can do hard things, it was a great reminder for us, too.
So, let this be a reminder to you, as you start exploring this community and as I add new resources for you. You can also do hard things.
- starting a new practice can be hard
- creating shifts in your behaviour can be hard
- showing vulnerability in your relationships can be hard
- setting boundaries can be hard
- being consistently consistent can be hard
But you can do hard things. Choose your hard, and let's go get it.
