• Activate those three Cs of hardiness in your life. In those moments when you feel like quitting or when it feels insurmountable, press pause and write down those three Cs and activate a sense of control, a perspective of challenge and a desire of commitment towards who you are, what you\u2019re doing and why you\u2019re doing what you\u2019re doing.

• \u201cI feel like that\u2019s a recurring theme. All these studies that we\u2019re talking about often leads to better mental and physical health.\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking\xa0 [05:06]
• \u201cLet\u2019s not pretend like nobody ever gets hurt and make people feel bad when they do get hurt and tell them to suck it up. That\u2019s not what we do in sport. We send them to the training room. They have surgery. They go to the doctor. They do rehab and then guess what, they\u2019re back at it. That\u2019s what clinical counseling and psychology can do when we get beat up, because we need that. But how do we continue to train and wire our brains like being in the weight room as an athlete? To cultivate the elements that we know drive high performance? And hardiness is one of them.\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking\xa0 [07:42]
• \u201cWhen these three Cs in some combination come together of control, of challenge, of commitment, we\u2019re able to be hardy even when it\u2019s most difficult in our lives. \u201d -Dr. Amber Selking\xa0 [13:18]

Most often, that person becomes in the light of challenge, in the midst of difficulty, in a season of pain and despair.\u201d -Dr. Amber Selking\xa0 [15:51]
