Hello Reader

Welcome to the Everyday Mentor newsletter for another week.

Thanks for subscribing. Thanks for reading.

Today's article is brief and to the point. It may or may not be essential for you right now, but perhaps someone else in your life is in need of these thoughts right now. Please share it with that person who comes to mind as you read.

Let's get to it!


"Top Tips for Surviving Tough Seasons"

The brutal truth is that, sooner or later, everyone goes through a tough season in life!

I've been through several. In fact, I'm in the latter stages of one presently. Sometimes they last a long time, others are over quite quickly.

Some seasons are mildly difficult, others feel like you're walking through hell.

As somebody famously said "if you're going through hell, don't stop"

The other thing that is also true about tough seasons, is that if you can survive, they produce the purest form of gold, that becomes your gift to the world thereafter . . .

However, this is only if you/we can survive the trial and make it through to the other side.

Therefore, today's writing is in honour of the best lessons I've learned on my journey of surviving tough seasons.

  1. Break the silence and talk to somebody
  2. Preserve your energy resources whenever possible
  3. Don't be afraid to say NO more often
  4. Sleep, Exercise & Nutrition are huge determinants of success
  5. Get help and LET people help you
  6. Ask WHO more often than HOW
  7. Keep your core purpose front of mind
  8. Detach from toxic, draining relationships
  9. Refuel your soul regularly with recreation
  10. Pursue a love for the outdoors

How about you? What is your biggest challenge right now? If I could wave a magic wand for you and instantly change something, what would that something be?
