Slip-ups don't matter
Your journey isn't about flawless performance; it's about consistent comebacks.
Life throws curveballs at our best-laid plans. You follow your routine diligently for days or weeks until something disrupts it. The familiar cycle begins—disappointment, guilt, then the "might as well" mindset. But don't feel too bad about it. Everybody does it. Everybody.
The key is in swift recovery. Give yourself a few moments to dwell on the slip-up, and then refocus on your core principles. These principles are your compass, guiding you back when you stray. They're simple, memorable, and powerful precisely because they're few. Three to four tend to work the best.
Even with ten slip-ups over three months you'd keep a 90% success rate. For a human, this is fantastic.
Failure is inevitable. Your ability to reset and return to what works is what will turn you into a winner.
