Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m doing all the work but I keep staring at the scale (or the bank balance) that barely budges, and every time it stalls I feel like a failure even though I showed up
- I’m convinced I’ve been mostly sticking to it, but when I’m honest I’m really remembering my intentions, not what I actually did
- I tell myself I’m "mostly being good" about the thing I’m trying to change, but when I’m honest I have no real record
- I’ve got weeks of tracking data and all I do is feel good or bad about the score
- When it’s just a promise to myself I let it slide without a second thought, but the moment I have to say out loud to someone else what I’ll get done and then report back, suddenly I actually follow through.
