We’re creatures of habit and thrive on routine. You’ve probably heard this before, but it’s always worth a reminder!
However, life doesn’t always go as planned. There are setbacks – and how you react to those moments can make all the difference.
If success was a straight line, we’d all be there by now. But there are ebbs and flows, and challenges along the way.
Picture this: you’re working on your health, hitting your goals, feeling great. Then, life throws a curveball – your kid gets sick, you catch something, or you just have a few rough days. Suddenly, you’re off track. You have two choices: keep spiraling, or regroup and get back on the path.
I see this all the time (and I need this reminder too!).
The people who succeed aren’t always the ones who start strong – they’re the ones who keep showing up, even on tough days. They don’t let a bad day turn into a bad week. They adapt, refocus, and keep moving forward.
So, what’s it going to be? Push forward, or stop?
One last thought:
If you’ve lost 40 pounds over six months, built new habits, and then have a tough month where you gain 10 pounds, does that make you a failure?
Absolutely not! You’re still down 30 pounds, you’ve proven what you’re capable of, and all you need is to get back on track.
Remember, you’re a work in progress. The big picture matters more than any one setback.
