The Gap and The Gain

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you’re never where you want to be?

That’s called living in the Gap—measuring yourself against an unreached goal instead of seeing how far you’ve come.

Instead, let’s shift to the Gain.

The Gap Thinking: “I still have 15 lbs to lose.”

The Gain Thinking: “I’ve already lost 5 lbs and feel stronger than before!”

The Gap Thinking: “I missed two workouts this week.”

The Gain Thinking: “I worked out three times this week—more than I used to!”

The Gap Thinking: “I still struggle with nutrition.”

The Gain Thinking: “I’m making better choices more often, and that’s progress.”
