Ever feel like you are Doing All The Right Things in terms of eating well or saving money, or doing your yoga practice or whatever it is you are working towards…
and…well…it’s really demotivating because
despite Doing All The Right Things
NOTHING IS HAPPENING!!
I feel you and after coaching thousands of people to success please let me give you a few words of advice, and this AWESOME IMAGE to renew your hope:

Do not take score of your progress too soon.
FATAL error!
Progress is not linear
When you get too close to it and judge it too soon you highly likely will not meet your expectations, feel sad and demotivated (“Wah! This isn’t working! And I am Doing All The Right Things! Wah!”)
And you think something is wrong. It’s not working.
What’s not working is YOU ARE TAKING SCORE TOO SOON
Zoom OUT my friend
COMMIT TO 100 DAYS
One hundred days of ANYTHING consistently will show you RESULTS
1. Give yourself and your body a chance. Show it some patience
2. And Do The Right Things ANYWAY
3. For 100 days (or a year) (I just lost 10% of my body weight in 100 days – you can read about that here)
4. Take a BIG PICTURE VIEW
Don’t judge things “One Day at a Time”.
It’s a classic TRAP to fall into that will suck your motivation.
FAR better to COMMIT TO 100 DAYS, and recommit to that zoomed out Big Picture.
You will amaze yourself with what you can achieve with 100 days of zoomed out focus in a row.
What can seem pointless zoomed IN, can be the BEST THING you’ve ever done when you ZOOM OUT.
What does your progress look like when you Zoom Out?
