Embrace the challenge of a difficult day

Last week I had the pleasure of catching up with one of my former colleagues in the education sector in England (I do love the power of zoom).
Anyway, he was recounting a tough day he had earlier in the week and how it had affected the balance of the week which culminated in the chat on Friday.
During the conversation, I was delighted to hear him recite one of my favorite quotes;
  “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.”    Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher (He, my former colleague, actually used a version stated by 2Pac but I've gone with the original)
This statement is so true and as such had me asking myself, how does it actually make you stronger? 
My answer; It was character building?
So this week I decided to share 10 thoughts I found that would help you overcome those difficult days.
Tip of the week: Embrace the challenge of a difficult day
Why? Because

1. a bad day does not equal a bad life
2. not all thoughts are true
3. feelings are not facts
4. the only way out is through
5. your worth is not contingent on circumstances
6. nothing stays the same
7. you can't be everything to everyone
8. you can be gentle with yourself and trust your inner voice, strength, and resilience
9. you are not alone, it is okay to ask for help
10. with a little effort, you can focus on things you can control. Let go of the rest 

I have no doubt there will be a number of difficult days ahead that always have the potential to spoil your week. Whether this may happen at home or work,  with a little self-care, these days will be fewer and further between The good thing is that now you have a point of reference to support you.
