415: Form Before Performance: How to Manage Unrealistic Expectations {ENCORE}

You know how we sometimes want everything to happen right now - and then beat ourselves up when it doesn't?

I'm sharing my own experiences about expecting instant results, and feeling frustrated when I don't hit my goals right away. But here's the thing: whether it's in fitness, business, or our relationships, it's all about building a strong foundation first.

In this episode:

  • Our tendency toward immediate gratification *and* self-criticism
  • The importance of laying a solid foundation when setting a goal
  • Frustration in starting something new, and the impact of comparison
  • Quick fixes and unrealistic expectations are not it - listen for what to do instead!
