“you’re supposed to” according to who?

@slick8086 I believe it’s more of a mindset “hey it’s okay I feel meh/bad today, because I have goals and they’re just not for today!” It’s supposed to help us in those moments that are not “good”. I wish I would’ve seen this after my first son, I had terrible PPD and this is helpful for people who maybe are “blocked” mentally/spiritually/ etc. (apply in your life where needed/wanted). However Ying-Yang / balance in all, the unconscious will remain until it becomes conscious.

Her. It’s definitely OK to say things that are based on your own experiences . I don’t believe that you need to quote or reference everything you say everytime you say something. Especially if what you are saying sounds reasonable, is trying to help people and is based on personal experience.

I don’t think I’ve become annoyed so quickly in my life. Can’t stand when people list their accomplishments… worst part is she uses the word “even” like she’s definitively amazing

This is a useful breakdown. How about when you’re just trying to make a living, what are the ratios then?

I am sorry to hear plenty of you were watching to get some insight and hope about your difficult situations. I suppose you already know that isn’t particularly what she is talking about though.
From what I am getting, the scope of her advice best fits skill learning where you ain’t always progressing or even maintaining progress, but falling behind at no fault of your own. This is where the advice comes alive; she needed to acknowledge that progress isn’t linear, and that setbacks are part of your journey, not an indicator of failure. Without that, her mind would self-sabotage and prevent her from truly pushing herself to give it all she has regardless of where she lands on the time (she was timing her laps as a runner). Hence, instead of focusing on being your best, focus on trying your best, trusting that this messy progress chart will soon enough go up again (ofc, she had a coach, so she wasn’t being wishful – She got gold yall)
So, maybe it isn’t related to some of your crises, but maybe you could still take a word of encouragement and know that even if things aren’t looking their best, you could still try your best hoping that you will be digging yourself out of this difficult situation over whatever time period it will take to resolve.
I hope this clears out some of yalls frustration and that you have learnt something valuable. Peace✌️
