Reminders of Trust

There are few things more endearing than following through on a plan you have created for yourself. Trust is rebuilt one congruent action at a time. Knowing that you are actually capable of doing what you said you would do restores agency and responsibility. 

The opposite is also true. There is nothing more discouraging than not doing what you know would be best for you. At that point, you are complicit in your lack of progress. But do not wallow for too long. Instead, take that as an opportunity to re-evaluate the plan. 

It is possible that the plan is designed for where you’d like to be rather than where you are. It is possible that the plan doesn’t actually align with what you genuinely believe to be meaningful or relevant. It is possible that you have other circumstances and experiences and excuses that need to be examined and maybe changed. Trying to change what you ultimately cannot control (like other people) will be a plan that can ultimately be discouraging. The encouraging counterpoint is found in the changes that you can control in your own life. 

So, take stock of your plan regardless of whether it is working for you or not. Quite often egoic dimensions of a plan can breed the illusion of success. An example would be trying to get abs just for the aesthetic rather than the pursuit of better health. Make your plan congruent.
