184. What To Do When You Feel Like You're Undoing Progress


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like the more you try to progress forward, the more resistance you meet? Like hitting a plateau? I’ve been there in the last few months. Being in the mindset of how it felt during my time as an athlete brought with negative emotions. The truth is, you can be happy with where you are currently and still feel some type of way when you relive your past memories.

In this episode of the Live Your Personal Best podcast, I share my struggles with backward progress in the last few months and how I’m overcoming them. Listen in to learn why you should meet yourself where you’re at and stay still for a while before making any further changes in your efforts.

Key Takeaways:

·      How past memories can still bring negativity in your present moment.

·      How to allow yourself to feel uncomfortable in order to grow.

·      Take time to meet yourself in the middle if you find yourself reverting to old habits.

Episode Timeline:

·      [2:16] How reliving my past memories came with the negative feelings I experienced as an athlete.

·      [7:57] The backward progress I felt I was experiencing and how I’m working to overcome it.

·      [10:01] Why pushing myself to progress without being ready led to a harder pushback.

·      [11:19] Why you should let yourself be comfortable for a while to reevaluate and move on from there.  

Quote:

·      “You can be super happy with where you are currently; you can be super proud of your progress, but there will still be times when you look back to the past version of yourself, and it brings something up.”- Emily [7:13]
