About Progress

Something that I'm constantly working on is leaving behind the all-or-nothing mindset that used to cause me to spiral into the vicious cycle of perfectionism. I now like to reflect where I'm at with my own progress in a mindful way, without assigning any negative, or even overly positive, emotion to it.

An audit is where you objectively take a look at the facts, and let that inform what to do next. In this episode I'm giving you some very simple steps to perform your own 'progress audit' and there is even an acronym so you can do this any time you need a personal check-in.

You know I never shy away from sharing the imperfect parts of progress, so in today's episode I'm being totally transparent about my own recent habit fails. There are two new things I've been wanting to start doing, so I set a small goal and was determined to implement these habits. Then time went by and I never even got started...tell me I'm not alone??

I call these situations dangling habits, because they are not attached to anything that you're already doing. In this episode I explain more about how to anchor your habits in 3 steps. I'll even provide prompts so you can start to work on constructing a new habit while you listen. Together we'll practice consistency and find success with our newfound habits.

Our goal is to create the tiniest bit of momentum that will truly carry us through our tasks and days in ways that fulfill us and don't deplete us.

Rest assured you do not need to use every one, every time. Take only what you need from these tips, and see how they really apply to me from cleaning, to work emails, to exercise and, of course, showering, as well as a Progressor call-in that we can all relate to.
