Extraordinarily Hard Things

There are moments when we are faced with extraordinarily hard things, the kind that stop us in our tracks, ground us in the challenge, and force us into uncertainty. How will I overcome this? How will I get through it? Why is this happening now, to me or around me?

The stress, worry, and weight of these moments can blur our focus and cloud our clarity.The physiological and mental load can feel the same whether it stems from your personal life or your professional one. How will I get out of this? How can I move through these extraordinarily hard things and beyond to clearer skies and a more confident, brighter, and prolific you?

The truth is you’ve got this. For reals. You can do anything and overcome anything, no matter how insurmountable it may seem. Once you recognize your inner strength and claim that power deep within, it is yours to harness. You can tap into it at any time.

How to overcome extraordinarily hard things at work

When work feels overwhelming, unclear, or off track, the first step is to narrow your focus. Extraordinarily hard things often come with mental noise, so simplify the next step rather than the entire journey. Identify the single most important priority for today. Break it into one action you can complete in under an hour. Momentum, not perfection, rebuilds confidence.

Next, zoom out. Consider the story you want to tell about this chapter six months from now. When you view your situation from a higher vantage point, your choices shift. You begin to respond strategically with intention rather than react from emotion. That small shift opens the door to progress.

How to overcome extraordinarily hard things when there is not enough work

Periods of slow work or financial uncertainty can trigger fear, doubt, and a sense of slipping backward. Yet these extraordinarily hard things carry their own power. They offer space to strengthen your voice, refine your message, and amplify bankable skills.

Focus on building rather than waiting. Update a piece of your professional presence so it reflects who you are now. Reach out to someone who energizes you. Create something small that showcases your value and perspective. You are not lacking. You are preparing. This is incubation, not stagnation. Often, what feels like a pause is the beginning of a powerful forward shift.

How to overcome extraordinarily hard things in life

Life’s extraordinarily hard things test us. They stretch our capacity, slow us down, and invite us to look inward with honesty and integrity. In these moments, self trust becomes essential. Remind yourself of what you have already survived, carried, achieved, and rebuilt. Your evidence is your anchor.

Return to what regulates you. Focus on routines that strengthen and nurture you, and surround yourself with the people who love you well. Clarity grows in grounded spaces. Most importantly, give yourself permission to be human. Stay present and apply laser focus. With each small decision you rise again, more aligned, more resilient, and more you.

With chickzen™, you’ve got this. You are not meant to go through extraordinarily hard things alone. You are meant to navigate them with clarity, strategy, and strength, and that begins with one grounded step forward.
