So picture this:
You’re halfway through a hike, cruising along, when suddenly you realize you’re off the trail.
"Oh, no!"
Your heart drops.
You look around, but nothing looks familiar.
Do you panic and keep walking, hoping you'll find the path?
Or do you stop, take a breath, and think about your next move?
Now, maybe you’ve never gotten lost on a hike.
But if you’re like me, or just about anyone, you’ve definitely felt lost when it comes to health and fitness.
You start the day hopeful, positive, ready to do the thing. And then—somewhere along the way—you miss the mark.
You skip a workout.
You overdo it at dinner.
And suddenly, it feels like everything’s falling apart.
"Ugh! Why did I let this happen?"
Then that urge to either quit or overcorrect kicks in.
But here’s the thing:
The mistake isn't what matters. What matters is how you respond to it.
Instead of spiraling out of control, what if you paused? Took a sip of water. Took a deep breath...
And said to yourself, "I’m off track, but no need to stress. A few simple steps and I'll be back."
Okay, now imagine you’re back on that hike.
You stop and notice a landmark—a familiar tree, maybe a stream.
You use it to guide yourself back to the trail.
In fitness, those landmarks could be your morning routine, a go-to healthy meal, or even just texting your coach.
Small, simple steps bring you back faster than you think.
It’s not about perfection.
It’s about staying present, recovering quickly, and knowing mistakes are just part of it.
Even the greatest aren’t perfect.
Steph Curry, arguably the best shooter in NBA history, misses more than half his shots.
Half!
But he doesn’t stop to dwell on it.
He moves to the next play.
That’s the mindset we all need.
Not dwelling. Not stopping.
Just moving to the next play.
