Feeling stuck or overwhelmed by how far you still have to go? In this episode of the Champion Mindset Collective podcast, Anthony Dahya introduces the concept of measuring backward for growth, a transformative mindset shift that focuses on progress rather than perfection.
Drawing from Dan Sullivan’s The Gap and the Gain and David Neithe’s The Winning Mindset, Anthony explains how this simple mindset shift can help you build confidence, momentum, and resilience.
Anthony shares how “measuring forward” by focusing on unmet goals can increase stress and anxiety, while “measuring backward” reminds us of our progress, strengthens our mindset, and inspires us to keep moving forward. With actionable tips like creating a progress chart and celebrating small wins, this episode provides a practical roadmap for embracing growth as a journey rather than a destination.
💡 Key Highlights:
Why measuring forward creates stress and discouragement.
The science behind how measuring backward reduces anxiety and builds momentum.
Practical tools like progress charts and celebrating small wins to reinforce a winning mindset.
Insights from Dan Sullivan (The Gap and the Gain), Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now), and David Neithe (The Winning Mindset).
✅ Practical Tips for Listeners:
Create a progress chart with three columns: “Where I Was,” “Where I Am Now,” and “What I’ve Learned.”
Celebrate even small wins to strengthen confidence and focus on the positive.
Reflect without judgment to fuel growth and resilience.
