OVERCOMING OBSTACLES 🧗‍♀️

Let’s chat about going off track 🚂

🛻 falling off the bandwagon

🚂 going off the rails

🗺 losing direction

🕹 feeling out of control

The idea you did something not inline with your goals. That you went ‘off plan’, ate something that’s ‘not allowed’ or didn’t do an action you were supposed to.

Often, it happens at a weekend or when we’re on holiday because we’re out of routine.

Perhaps social plans come up that you can’t/don’t want to say no to.

Maybe you couldn’t be bothered cooking, so you got a takeaway.

It might’ve been throwing it down, so your activity/training for the day turned into a movie marathon 🏃‍♀️ 🍿

Often when this happens, we do one of a few things:

1. Spend the rest of the week feeling upset, angry & disappointed in ourselves.

2. Accept it, acknowledge how much we enjoyed it, know it was a one off, move on with life.

3. Think we’ve ruined all of our progress & fall into the ‘f**k it bucket’.

4. Spend the next day/week over compensating, restricting or punishing yourself.

Which of these approaches do you think is most mindful & productive?

Do you recognise any of these mindsets as something you do?

What do you do when these moments arise and you go ‘off track’?

Number 3 of the above is the most balanced and mindful option, but definitely not the easiest.

We can’t be on track and perfect 100% of the time.

Just as one workout won’t give us the results we want, missing a session won’t ruin progress. 🤟🏼👏🏻

Results are an average of our actions.

So if you did ‘fall off that bandwagon’ at any point this week, or it happens over the coming weekend, breathe. The only thing your HEAVY Saturday night of cocktails, takeaway, cheesy chips or multiple desserts has damaged is your bank balance 💰

You’ve got the rest of the week & a whole life ahead of you.
