7X Mr. Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger, at the beginning of this year, started a 30-day challenge. The challenge was to choose any task that was a bit challenging and to do it consistently for 30 days. And recently he announced the first winner of the challenge in the latest edition of his newsletter. Moreover, he also did a FaceTime with the winner, Claudia. While talking with Arnold, Claudia shared her story of depression and the bad phase she had just gone through. However, Claudia didn’t stop there and mentioned how this challenge helped her outgrow her fears and made her a better person.

In this way, Claudia shared her story of courage and determination, which began with nothing but fear of failure. In this newsletter, Arnold shared her story where she disclosed a very important message for anyone going through tough times. What was the message? Let us find out.

Arnold Schwarzenegger became the messenger of a powerful message

Claudia began the journey of this challenge in fear, as her mental state hadn’t been well lately. However, as the challenge went on, the fear gradually shifted into courage and happiness as she slowly succeeded each day. In the newsletter, Arnold mentions a Q&A session with her. When she was asked about the message that she would give to other people, she replied, “I actually was there, too, at the stage of feeling stuck. I just came out of a burn-out and depression, which lasted for some time.”

Also, her primary focus was going ahead step-by-step. Similarly, she advises the same. She continued, “My message would be: step-by-step. No need to set incredible goals and think you have to become Superman or Superwoman overnight. Give yourself patience and time, and start with little things.”

The mantra is to start with a minimal goal and become consistent with it. She added, “We live in a society where everything has to be fast and almost perfect. No need to overstress it, be gentle with yourself, and you will start moving again and feeling inspired by new things again.”
