How do I reconcile having thoughts of experiencing a hard day and the benefit of doing hard things?
I think my question is around the word ‘hard’- hard seems to be a negative in the first model, but not in the second one- is it just semantics and I should substitute appropriate synonyms that ‘feel’ appropriate? I like the phrase ‘I can do hard things’, but then sometimes this gives me this sense that hard is negative. Not sure if this makes sense, but any help is appreciated. Thanks B
