Why Grinding It Out Never Works (And What To Do Instead)

“I’ll just grind it out.”

This is the answer I hear from far too many people going through a hard time when I ask them what the next step is.

It breaks my every time I hear it.

Because that’s not grit.

That’s someone putting their head in the sand, surviving, and hoping for the best.

“Grinding it out” never works, and here’s why.

Grinding is exhausting.
Grinding is ignoring.
Grinding is lonely.

We were built for more than passively wandering through our challenges by ourselves and wondering why we are so tired.

Instead of grinding, we should be growing our grit.

These 3 step will help you get started:

1. Reflect and journal regularly.

2. Name what you are facing.

3. Share with others.

Do these things regularly and you will go from grinding and surviving to connecting and overcoming.

Stop grinding away.

Start growing your grit.
