We often focus so hard on our weaknesses, we ignore our strengths.

This can lead to unnecessary self-criticism.

It can drive learned helplessness.

Even trying to improve becomes harder and harder.

Work on all the things that you aren't.

Don't lose sight of all that you are.

You’ve got this.

You can decline the call.

You can cancel the plans.

You can ignore the message.

You can give yourself the break.

We all need space at times.

If you don't create that space for yourself, nobody will.

Setting personal boundaries isn't a crime.

There's no need to feel guilty.

You've got this.

Your efforts might take weeks, months, or years.

There may be failures, mistakes, and setbacks along the way.

If what you're doing matters, don't quit.

That might be appropriate at some point, but we often give up too soon.

Persistence isn't easy, but it's easier than regret.

Have a lovely Wednesday :-)

The foods you keep close by.

The movies and shows you watch.

The pages and profiles you follow.

The music and podcasts to which you listen.

The people with whom you spend your time.

You shape your environment and it shapes you.

Shape your environment for your best life.

You’ve got this.

More effort doesn't always yield more progress.

Even when it does, there's often a point of diminishing returns.

The detriments begin to disproportionately outweigh the benefits.

Look for that "sweet spot" of effort that maximizes progress.

Find the optimal effective dose.

You’ve got this.

You might have a weird shape.

You might not be lean, strong, or fast.

You might have a funny nose, loose skin, or unsightly marks.

Your physical traits do not determine your worth.

You have more to offer the world.

Love your body.

Love yourself.

You've got this.

There are days when you crush it.

Work is productive, your eating habits are on point, and training flows.

Other days, you're on the struggle bus.

Every single task is a drag.

That's okay.

Some days, you just don't have it.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Keep showing up.

You've got this.

The benefits of helping others aren't limited to those on the receiving end.

Have a lovely Wednesday :-)

New Years, birthdays, and other milestones are often times of reinvention.

The idea of a "new you" becomes quite appealing.

Yet, we often set the bar so high, putting so much pressure on ourselves, we freeze, fail, or quit.

Forget about a "new you."

Start with a "better you."

You’ve got this.
