 When Tough Times Hit, There Is Always HOPE!
Mary Hays-Bridges

I was facing something more difficult than trying to survive the devastation from a negligent act. I had truly lost my sense of identity, purpose, and life goals. I could survive being a helpless invalid, but to be hopeless would be downright tragic.

My job in life now is to help others set new dreams and learn about survival – through Him. May my story impress upon you that HOPE can bring you through life’s trials! Dreams DO come true! All things ARE possible! As a coach, “HOPE” now has added meaning for me – “Helping Others’ Possibilities Endure.”

 

1.  Before going to sleep, answer: “Today has been a good day because____________________________.” Focus on the people you love, the things that inspire you, the daily details that are within your power to change. Happiness is found in these small details of life.

2.  Keep a goals/gratitude journal. Today, what action step did you take towards your goal? Focusing on goals gives a renewed sense of purpose, adds confidence, cultivates self-esteem, and adds structure to life. Writing down your action steps and daily progress is a positive reinforcement. Counting your blessings adds a measure of humility, compassion and keeps optimism alive.

3.  Read and/or listen to motivational and inspirational books.

4.  Use pictures and sayings to make a focus board collage for each goal. Seeing these positive affirmations daily enhances your endurance and strength. Become your own cheerleader through positive self-talk. 

                                                                                                                                                      Happiness + Optimism + Perseverance + Endurance = HOPE

 

When tough times hit, never give up HOPE!
