Are your efforts difficult enough to push you to adapt, learn, and grow?
Are they easy enough for you to confidently execute?
Do you have the strength to fail and try again?
This is where you'll make long term progress.
Find the "sweet spot" between difficult and easy.
This might be in the gym.
It might be on the field.
At the office.
Wherever you’re putting in the work.
Find that balance.
This won’t be a quick process.
At times, you’ll push yourself too hard.
Others, you won’t push yourself hard enough.
Keep a close eye on your progress.
When you stop moving forward, ask yourself why.
Are you making things too easy?
Are you making things to difficult?
Make an adjustment.
See how it affects you.
Rinse and repeat.
Have patience.
This won’t happen overnight.
Have self-compassion.
You won’t always be successful.
Keep showing up.
Keep doing the work.
One step at a time.
You’ve got this.
