The 3-Word Phrase That Has Always Helped Me Through Bad Times
And can help you as well
The past two weeks have been bad for me. Pretty bad.
I lost my grandpa to COVID. My fitness regimen went to the dogs. I had an altercation with a loved one. I relapsed after 2 months of abstaining from porn. Mindless social media scrolling became the norm and my productivity hit rock bottom.
Well, with the pandemic around, nobody’s having a great time.

And a simple three-word phrase helps me do that every single time.
