I believe we need to keep doing hard things as we age. Not because life isn’t already hard enough. It is. And as we get older, some of the hard things coming our way won’t be things we get to choose. But there is something powerful about repeatedly choosing to do difficult things. Every time we do, we create another piece of evidence for ourselves: I can do hard things. Do it often enough, and that evidence becomes self-trust. Watch this video on my YouTube channel - Link 🔗 in bio 🫶 I recently completed my 36th half IRONMAN. Swimming in cold water is particularly challenging for me because I have Raynaud’s syndrome, so you could reasonably ask: Why on earth would you keep doing this? Because it’s incredibly rewarding to know that I can. And here’s the interesting part: the more we do hard things, the easier doing hard things becomes. Not necessarily because the thing itself has changed, but because we have. This connects to something I’ve been thinking and writing about for years: the difference between willpower and willingness. Willpower is pushing yourself into another must-do habit. It requires effort and an ongoing internal fight. Willingness comes from somewhere different. You know why something matters to you. You consciously choose it. And with repetition, that choice can become increasingly easeful. The hard thing may still be hard. But doing it no longer has to feel like a fight. In this video, I talk about why deliberately doing difficult things is part of how I think about living well—and how moving from wanting to willing can change our relationship with challenge, health, and ultimately ourselves. This idea—learning to move from willpower to willingness, and creating a healthier future from a place of intention rather than obligation—is also at the heart of my upcoming book, Create Her, coming in February 2027. It’s not a book about how to be healthy. It’s about understanding why—and how taking care of ourselves can begin to feel less like something we have to force and more like something we genuinely choose.
