Let’s face it; failure doesn’t feel great. We tried something, we put in the effort, and despite the effort, it didn’t go the way we wanted. That hurts. The fitness industry now is all about hyping up high intensity trainings, the all-or-nothing mindset, and giving everything you got. And I’m sure you get that from the videos and advertisements you see all over the internet. It seems like if you don’t follow that mindset, you won’t be able to accomplish your goals. But how true is that? Must you operate at 100% intensity in all your training sessions? When companies learn about accessibility, it doesn’t take long before they have the deer in headlights look.

But by focusing on what you want rather than what others have achieved, you’ll find that it is easier to make a change for the better without giving up entirely.

If only achieving a “progress not perfection” perspective was so easy! Unfortunately, it’s not something you can learn how to do in a weekend.
