How are You Measuring Your Progress? Your Happiness Depends on it. A Book Review!

from Modern Body Modern Life · host Courtney Gray

In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite book recommendations: The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. The big idea is simple: the way I measure my progress determines how happy I feel. If I measure myself against where I want to be, I create frustration and “not enough” energy (the gap). If I measure myself against how far I’ve already come, I build confidence, momentum, and pride (the gain). I explain how this shows up in real life, with weight loss and health goals, where people can overlook major wins just because the scale didn’t move.  But also in every area of life.When you focus on what's missing, you create misery; when you focus on how far you've come, you gain momentum.Enjoy!Currently, I work with women privately and in my monthly membership.  Click HERE to head to my website to learn more.
