Did you know that trying something new, choosing “the hard thing”, and sticking it out until the end is one way to develop grit?

I challenge you to choose one thing you want to accomplish and commit to it until it’s completed. My hard thing was running a marathon. I’m currently searching for my next hard thing— maybe run a sub 4hour marathon? Maybe I’ll try a new language?

This “hard thing rule” was coined by Angela Duckworth and I cannot recommends her book “Grit” enough!

Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.
