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

• I genuinely can’t tell anymore where I’m actually good and where I just feel good
• I keep telling myself I’m basically living in line with what I care about, but if I’m brutally honest about my actual behavior the last couple of weeks, I suspect I’m way further from the center than I let myself admit
• 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’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 call myself good at reading how things will go in my field, but when I’m honest I only ever remember the calls I got right
