“If you try to have 100% compliance, because every time there's a failure, people tend to go backwards, which makes the process so much longer than if you're just trying to stay compliant 80% of time, right? So that percentage number is just about setting yourself up for success or for failure.” -  Maxime Sigouin

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Maxime Sigouin! Today, I will be talking about the dangers of the either 0% or 100% mindset with the actions we make and how showing up consistently without necessarily being at a 100% is far better than quitting. It is not uncommon for those on the journey towards transformation acquiring the feeling of inadequacy and falling deeper to such a mentality, but by embracing discomfort and loving the process, it is possible to make the steps more doable and failures more bearable for us.

Key Quotes

“You know what, I just need to take imperfect action and adjust along the way, which I believe is one of the really critical skills in order to be successful.” -  Maxime Sigouin

“Therefore, by definition, you have to change in order for these things to change. [Having] training and nutrition is just a symptom of who you are - your thought patterns, your belief and your value system. And so if we want to have this outcome, you have to change in order for you to change some of those.Those thought patterns, belief systems, values have to change. And that's something that's really hard to take on. But that's what's needed in order to be successful in a transformation.” -  Maxime Sigouin
