what is progress?

What is "progress"?

If you’re going somewhere, how will you know when you get there? And how will you know that you’re on your way in the first place?
While it’s pretty difficult to get anywhere specific without some semblance of a map, a lot of us never even see the road signs and mile markers that line our journey.


It’s hard to see “progress” in daily life because you see yourself every day.
That said, you can easily measure other types of progress that will let you know you’re getting closer to your goal of being fit and healthy:

• Can you lift 10 pounds more today than you could last month?
• Can you run 5 minutes longer than you could last week?
• Have you been virus-free this year — after getting 6 colds last year?
• Has your LDL (“bad”) cholesterol gone down from your last blood test?

While these are “hard facts”, other types of progress are intangible. And some can really surprise you.

Track what's important to YOU

PN Coaching is YOUR journey. So track what's important and meaningful to YOU.
Ask yourself:

• What will tell me that I am getting better at doing what I want to do?

• How do I know I'm on track to my Destination Postcard?

• If I get what I want, how will I know?

Look for progress everywhere

You never know where progress may lurk. Keep an open mind, and hunt for it.
You'll find that it's easier to let yourself go slowly if you can find small signs of everyday progress.
Today, see if you can notice and name what's different since you started PN Coaching.

Assignment

List three results that will indicate you are getting closer to your goal.

 1. Farting less / Less bloated
2. feeling like being more intimate with my husband / being more intimate with my husband
3. Doing More and analyzing less, in other words, Acting and Doing instead of wishing. If I can see that I am doing things each and every day toward my goal... I will be succeeding
4. Wedding rings fitting


What other forms of progress have you already noticed in the last month
I already feel successful, especially in the making progress toward my goals... I feel like I am acting and doing things that are directly going to make a dent in my weight.
Exercising more, moving more, getting more fresh air. Hitting my daily goals and targets.

So far my favourite habit is definitely the action habit.
I am very consistent now about getting outside everyday for a walk. This i am happy about, and hope to keep up

the slow eating habit, is also really cool... I just need to keep it up and remember to do it consistently
