Facing an avalanche – #67 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn (adversity, resilience, grit and grace)

Facing an avalanche happens to all of us. One thing goes wrong, then another thing, then an unexpected bill and another surprise… and suddenly you’re buried under a mountain of challenges.

Having nine disabling disorders and a heavy past, I’ve gone through this over and over again. If I didn’t reframe the way I looked at it, it would have crushed me.

I talk a lot about the four stages of learning:

Notice something needs to be different.

Identify strategies that could help.

Practice those strategies.

And then practice until you become the thing you’re trying to become.

For years, my issue was remembering to practice the thing I said I wanted to do. I’d get triggered and forget everything. That’s why I created my mindset magic phrases. Lefty loosey, righty tighty. If I could remember that, I could create new cues for my emotional life too.

Now, being triggered is a call to the bat phone.

Quick - grab the mental health toolkit.

What did I decide I want to do here?

When you’re facing an avalanche, that’s your first stop. What coping strategies already work for you? Which ones can you kick into high gear? What new ones can help keep you calm and grounded?

The most important thing you can do is support yourself through it. Make your mind a playground. Take breaks. Be on your own side. Clear out the mental clutter so you’re not battling storage wars while you’re trying to climb out.

Dawn Super

About the Author Dawn Super is an empowerment coach, speaker, and writer who helps people thrive — not someday, but right now, exactly as they are. She knows firsthand what it’s like to live with lifelong health challenges, including narcolepsy, and has made it her mission to teach others how to show up for themselves with compassion, courage, and a little bit of humor and sass. Known for her “mindset magic strategies,” Dawn brings a blend of practical tools, soulful insight, and real-talk encouragement to anyone ready to stop waiting for permission to love themselves. Her work speaks especially to those who’ve felt left out, misunderstood, or stuck on the sidelines — the misfits, the dreamers, the rebels, and the overcomers. When she’s not coaching, creating, or writing, you might find her meditating at the beach, virtually socializing, or laughing (probably at one of her own jokes). Dawn believes that self-love isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a radical act of rebellion in a world that profits from your doubt.
