Trying something new is hard. Whether it’s a diet, starting your own business, changing a habit, or maybe learning a new sport, there are some days that are great and some that are, well, challenging. It’s important to remember to push through when you hit a rough patch.
Sometimes inspiration comes in the most unexpected places. I found a bookmark with these tips tucked into a book I purchased at a used book sale. Written by The Bureau For At-Risk Youth, the points outlined are simple, and the advice relatable. Think about these the next time you need a little extra encouragement.
