And yet you managed

Anytime circumstances feel unmanageable, it can be helpful to reflect on situations in the past where you’ve felt a similar way.?

Several years ago I was in a very stressful situation at work and wondered if I could manage it. It was tough, but I made it through. I managed.?

There’s a good chance you’ll be able to locate a point in time where you’ve felt this and say to yourself: “Yes, that was tough. And while it wasn’t obvious how I was going to get through at the time, I did in the end. I managed.”?

Hindsight is clarifying and can offer insight into how similar situations in the present will play out.?

You’ve managed before, you will manage this.?

You’ve got this.?
