When everything goes sideways and you’re having a bad day, repeat the mantra to not quit today but instead give yourself the self-love, the break, the reset to get back on track.

  • We have a saying in the hiker community, "Never Quit on a Bad Day."

  • It’s a reminder that it’s a good idea to hold off on making major decisions when things get tough and instead give yourself space to get some perspective. 

  • On day 100 of the Te Araroa, New Zealand's long trail, Blissful Hiker hits a wall, sitting down to cry and consider quitting. But once she lets it all hang out, she realizes how silly she sounds and laughs at herself. 

  • Laughing at yourself is one of the best tools in a resilient person's toolbox, because it keeps us from being narcissistic. 

  • When we have a bad day, instead of asking, "Why me?" we can ask "What now?" and get on with what needs to be done. 

MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
