Checking In With Yourself
Joanne Louis-Paul • October 24, 2023
Whenever we are looking to make a change, it can be difficult to gauge our progress accurately. We have a tendency to magnify the deficits and minimize (or completely ignore) the gains.
Those of us who suffer from perfectionism can become impatient, having unrealistic timelines for results. And the whole process can feel like a slog.
We’re encouraging you to take a balanced look at the current state of your program by asking yourself the following questions:
- What was my intention when I created my program?
- Did I set myself up for success?
- Am I where I thought I’d be at this point in the cycle?
- What’s going well with my leg(s)?
- If I’m unhappy with my progress, what can I do to course-correct?
Don’t forget to lean on your dyad partner for support and a more objective perspective. We need others to get a better view of ourselves.
