Healing What May Be a Mediocre Mindset

Sometimes showing up is enough, especially when it's all we have to give. But sometimes we have more we can offer ourselves and have simply gotten used to giving less and not being challenged, leaving us frustrated when it's not enough to meet our goals. Extraordinary results requires extraordinary effort and the people who truly love us will often encourage us to push past our limit to aspire towards greatness, IF they can do so without meeting our wrath.

I am most certainly guilty of becoming defensive when I've been pushed in certain situations. Perhaps it is the fact that I know the person is right and I feel guilty. I have been guilty of making up stories about their intention and drawing conclusions about their own effort to excuse the effort I wasn't giving in situations. You know...some of the games we play to be right.

Healing a mediocre mindset requires allowing ourselves to acknowledge many things can be true. It's accepting that you can be doing better than you were doing and you still have more to do. It's coming to grips with the fact that mediocre effort will only yield mediocre results and we cannot be mad when we don't earn a trophy we didn't compete for!

Because of hubby challenging me, I am pushing myself a bit more these days as I work towards developing a new personal best. May this episode support you in doing the same!

With Love,
Tiff
