Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Changing my mind still feels like admitting I lost, and I want to flip that
• I’m about to join a whole new group of people who have no idea who I’ve been
• I only ever do this for the points and rewards now, and I’ve noticed the day they’d stop is the day I’d quit
• I need to ask someone to change something, but the moment I lead with the criticism they go defensive and dig in
• My progress lives buried in some spreadsheet I never open, so day to day I genuinely have no idea whether I’m winning or losing on this goal
