With any area we feel insufficient, we can quickly get down on ourselves. We think that with enough willpower, we can turn things around. The hardest part about getting past these areas is the shame we build around ourselves. We know we could do better, and we even try to do better. But it’s the consistency we struggle with. Anyone can stay on a diet for a day. But are we staying consistent for six months? That’s the hard part.
The journey is the journey. Measuring the distance and understanding how long something will take can assist with the narrative. Frodo from Lord of the Rings knew he couldn’t get to Mordor in a day. You shouldn’t expect to get to where you want to go in a day either.
