Progress Tracking?

 Progress Tracking?

Do we really need this Progress Tracking? Yesirrrs I absolutely buy into this.  We're now into a few weeks of 2024.  How are those New Year's resolutions coming along?  Many of you did set your GOALS to improve your health.  Oftentimes, these GOALS are unrealistic and you end up finding yourself falling back into OLD HABITS after a few weeks?  Now WHAT?  Do you GIVE UP because PERFECTION is NO longer an option?  Absolutely NOT.  PERFECTION isn't realistic in the first place, and it may even hinder those health GOALS you set on January 1st💴💷💵

Frankly, strict and rigid 'ALL or NOTHING' resolutions are frustrating.  GOALS like that force you to focus on your failures.  Missing a day of your New Year's Resolution DOESN'T mean that you've failed.  Ultimately, people make resolutions with the GOAL of becoming healthier and happier.   So, ask yourself if you have improved your health with your GOALS📗📘📙

Looking at PROGRESS rather than PERFECTION allows you to see WHAT's working, rather than WHAT you've failed to accomplish.  Sometimes, resolutions need amendments to really work long-term.  Consider the hindrances and barriers to achieve your resolution[s] and experiment with different approaches to make it work📌📌📌

Do consider taking an approach to problem-solving like an experiment, realizing that NOT every experiment really works.  Continue to look for better ways to approach the challenge✅✅✅

Our takeaway today?  PERFECTION is frustrating because it is unattainable in the first place.  On the other hand, PROGRESS is hopeful because it's always there as long as you are making adjustments and improvements.  In fact, you DON'T need to be PERFECT to be healthier.  Keep up the PROGRESS you are making and just forget about PERFECTION.  That's one DISTRACTION less❗❗❗
