4. Remember tomorrow I did a 36-hour endurance event. The goal: hike the equivalent of Mt. Everest. On the mountain, @JesseItzler shared a lesson. Amidst struggle, remember how you’ll feel tomorrow. Accomplished. Successful. Proud. Remember tomorrow during today's battles.
When you are going through a difficult time, ask how you might feel about this in six months, a year, or even ten years down the line. Imagining how future you would think about your current situation often reminds us that whatever we are going through is temporary. And that in the future, it’ll be an indistinguishable blip in our life story.

Next time you feel low, put yourself in a growth mindset—think about learning, challenge, confronting obstacles. Think about effort as a positive, constructive force, not as a big drag.
