If you are only adding up your “failures” or missteps, you are blind to the progress. We are our harshest critics and it’s very easy to have a POV of where we go wrong, or fall off etc. That is just a built in guilt complex that many people build their discipline from. If you fail, then you let yourself down, and who wants to do that? If you miss a session with a trainer, you disappoint them or lose money or both, who wants to do that? This is a negative feedback loop. While it may work sometimes or for some things, it often isn’t sustainable and in turn may accomplish said goal at the cost of your relationship with self/state of mind and mental well-being. Instead challenge yourself to build some positive feedback loops. Choose to see the progress not the “f ups”. Acknowledge the wins, build from them and the positive momentum that comes with the consistency of them. I have a funny feeling, you’ll still reach your goals and actually enjoy yourself along the way.
