Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is about one way you can boost your motivation when you are struggling or finding

something really tough. Remind yourself that these difficult moments are when you get stronger.

Indeed, without the difficult moments, you might not make nearly as much progress.

If you have ever done something physically challenging like a triathlon, you may have heard

this advice before. The moment when you are struggling and want to stop is also the moment when

your strength and stamina are increasing. If you think about it, this makes sense.

Our muscles and our bodies in general get stronger when we push them to the point of exhaustion.

If we only ask of our bodies what we know our bodies can already do, well, then everything

is fine the way that it is. Nothing needs to change. But if we lift a weight that is a little bit

heavier or add another repetition, our muscles need to build strength. So they do. If we need to run

a little farther than as comfortable, then we learn to run a little farther. This idea is relevant

for all sorts of contexts beyond exercise. Let's say you are dating again after a long relationship

has ended. Getting through the moments when you are feeling fearful or awkward unlocks the opportunity

to deepen a new relationship. This is when you get stronger. Or maybe you hate public speaking,

but your new job requires it. Indeed, your new job has you giving talks twice a week.
