MOXIE FITNESS & WELLNESS SUCCESS TIPS
TIP 7 - MEASUREMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS
Assuming you've got a specific goal and we have gotten the individualization process right; you will likely see good progress over a reasonable amount of time. In fact, you may even see weekly progress. However, weekly progress doesn't go on indefinitely, not even with my personal coaching clients.
The body doesn't always function in a linear manner. Successful bursts can be followed by stagnation. You may lose three pounds in the first three weeks, then nothing. Then, three weeks later lose another pound. Then nothing. And so on. This is nothing to get discouraged about.
Consider, for example, a fertile chicken egg. If you look at a fertile egg and watch it overtime, you won't see anything happen. You expect to see something – anything – but nothing changes. Then, one day, seemingly out of the blue, the egg begins to shake and a chick pops out. While the egg sat idle, things were changing under the surface.
We all spend too much time looking at the outside of the egg when we should stop and think about what's going on inside. We all get frustrated with lack of progress and that's fine, but oftentimes things are changing – just not what we can see or what we happen to be looking at.
Spread out your attention, measure different things, look to a number of different areas of progress and make sure you are not missing important changes. I'll help you with that later on.
But if you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing (and that's a big if – be honest with yourself!) and you still see nothing happening, keep in mind the story of the egg. From the outside, for a while anyway, you may not see change. But if you keep working hard, the internal changes will eventually add up and what you've been waiting for will emerge.
