The majority of people hugely overestimate what they can achieve in a week, and hugely underestimate what they can achieve in a year.
This short-lived intensity is matched by an all or nothing approach which can only last so long.
Take eating for example, people often go on a diet, and when they do something which they deem as a mistake, or slip up, instead of taking it in their stride and realising it’s not a big deal, they throw the baby out with the bathwater, burn everything to the ground, and wait until Monday to restart all over again.
Sound familiar?
Well, whether it’s diet and lifestyle, or any other facet of life where you are trying to reach a goal or objective, this approach rarely works. In fact, it’s almost always guaranteed to fail.
The key is to remember, it’s not what you do every now and again that matters, it’s what you do the majority of the time, so…
If, or when, you make a “mistake” or fall off the wagon, instead of packing everything in, without guilt…
Recognise what took place, note why it happened so you can put something in place that could help you if that scenario crops up again, then get back on the saddle and start moving forwards again.
This is the real key to making progress.
The Japanese have a term for this, which is called Kaizen.
Continual improvement will see you much further down the road in a week, month, year, or a decade from now than a stop-start approach will.
And, when you realise that the journey is far more important than the destination, this is process is much easier to follow.
After all, it’s on the journey where all the fun takes place.
