Going through a breakup is never easy, and Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have had to deal with intense public scrutiny on top of everything else difficult about the situation as they navigate their divorce. Although she did not directly mention her divorce or Affleck, Lopez gave fans some insight into how she might be handling things in her new interview with British Vogue.

In the on-camera interview, Lopez opened up about how she deals when it comes to overcoming the biggest hardships life throws at her (and spoiler alert, her strategy sounds really healthy-we're talking therapist-approved levels of emotional maturity) .

“I think the way I overcome things is not to think that it happened to me, but to think about what happened to me and what the lesson is to be learned in that moment,” she explained in an interview promoting her new film, Unstoppable.

Lopez says this approach has served her well, as looking for lessons learned helps her to reframe difficult moments in a more positive light.

“When I think about things that way and stay in that kind of more positive mindset about it, it's kind of easy to accept it for the lesson,” she explained. 'Because that's what hardship is in life. What am I supposed to learn here?

Before summing up her thoughts on the topic, Lopez clarified that she believes that hardships have specific and important meaning for us, adding that she does not believe that the difficulties we face in life are random at all.

“There is no such thing as coincidence. This is not just happening randomly. It is happening for a reason.”

And in case you need a little mantra to get you through the hard times using the Jennifer Lopez Method (pending, we can only hope), she's got that covered too.

To summarize what could be a great future TED talk on overcoming hardship, Lopez left the audience with a question she asks herself in moments like that: “What have I learned and how can I get better, stronger, more knowledgeable, and from this evolve and grow?

I ask this because I think Jennifer Lopez may be the motivational speaker our country needs (even if she is not the right person for us).
