Do you stop when something gets hard? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you give up when things don’t go your way? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you step back when you encounter struggle? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used to but not anymore. Because I’m after GROWTH. And growth only comes when the going gets tough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, don’t get me wrong. You don’t have to HUSTLE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about when you’re lifting weights. Time under tension doesn’t mean how many reps you can do in a minute. It refers to the amount of time that your muscles are working. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Right now, our minds are working hard - we are working to limit our media intake, learn how to live in this new normal, being financially savvy as people are losing jobs, social distancing so we don’t get sick, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you know what that means? We are GROWING! You are gonna come out of this season STRONGER than before in so many ways. And that gives me HOPE for the future. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Double tap if you agree. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stevenfurtick #timeundertension #growthquotes #wordstoliveby #lifequotes #mindsetquotes #covid19 #strongteachers #dedicatededucators #upliftingteachers #teachergram #lifelonglearning #teacherbusiness #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers #entrepreneurmind #teacherleaders #teachersofinsta #iteachtoo ...

A lot of small business owners (along with millions of other people) are struggling right now because of the pandemic. 🤍 Can I give you some hope? ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my students wrote this after taking some time off from her business. I hope this is good news to you...if you’re taking some time off or even if things aren’t selling as you’d hoped. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just because things are stormy now doesn’t mean they will be this way forever. The sun will shine again. The birds will sing. The flowers will grow. CHOOSE HOPE! 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take time in this “winter” season where things might be a little bare to rest and prepare for what’s next. Without winter, there would be no rest. 🌷 Spring is coming! The best is yet to come, friends! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tag a friend who needs to hear this in the comments. And tell me how you’re choosing hope today. 💗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thebestisyettocome #choosehope #springiscoming #studenttestimonial #testimonial #ceoteacheracademy #ceoteacher #smallbusiness #teachersofinstagram #teacherpreneur #teachersofinsta #igteachers #taketimetorest #restisimportant #Teacherselfcare #prepareforthenextseason #weneedeachother #spreadhope #tpt ...

With all this change in routine, it’s important to set your gaze on what you CAN control. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You CAN control your attitude and mindset. You CAN control how you spend your time. You CAN control how much media you consume. You CAN learn something new. You CAN make a new routine to take care of yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Friend, if you’re not doing these things yet, now is the time to start! Something really important to me is taking care of my health. As @msrachelhollis says, move your body every day!! Not only for your physical health, but for your mental health too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been taking walks (sometimes with my babies) and riding my @onepeloton. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me below how you’re taking control of your health during this time! Let’s keep each other encouraged and accountable! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #selfcare #takecareofyourself #moveyourbody #healthyteachers #iworkout #motivationmonday #mindsetiseverything #attitudeiseverything #peloton #mentalhealth #teacherlife #quarantinelife #maketimeforyou #yougotthis #businesscoach #cheeringforyou #iteachtoo ...
