In episode 168. Look How Far You've Come, I share an important perspective shift that can make a big difference in your mission experience and beyond - focusing on your gains rather than the gap.

I was inspired by a message from my coach, who encouraged our group to celebrate our progress and achievements. So often, we have a tendency to fixate on our shortcomings and how far we have left to go. But I explain how this mindset can actually hold us back, creating feelings of discouragement and inadequacy. Instead, I suggest we "measure backwards" - looking at how far we've come rather than just focusing on the distance to our goals.

By reflecting on our past accomplishments, even the small ones, we can build genuine confidence and motivation to keep moving forward. I share personal examples of how this has played out with my missionary clients, helping them recognize their impressive growth. I believe this gain-focused mindset is key for thriving during and after your mission, so I encourage you to give it a try.

As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
