Do Not Make Your Best Day The New Minimum

About this episode

One of the strangest ways we can sabotage ourselves is by turning our best performance into our new standard.

You have an incredible day.

You get everything done.

You exercise.

You work hard.

You stay focused.

You handle every responsibility perfectly.

And instead of appreciating what you accomplished, you decide:

"Now I have to do this every day."

Do Not Make Your Best Day The New Minimum explores the difference between having a great day and creating an impossible standard for every future day.

Your best day is evidence of what you're capable of.

It isn't necessarily what you're capable of sustaining every day.

Energy changes.

Circumstances change.

Responsibilities change.

Some days will be productive.

Some days will simply be about maintaining what you've already built.

That doesn't mean you've become lazy.

It means you're human.

The danger of making your peak performance the minimum is that eventually, ordinary success starts feeling like failure.

You accomplish enough, but it doesn't feel like enough because you're comparing today to the most exceptional version of yesterday.

Keep the ambition.

Keep improving.

But allow yourself to have different kinds of successful days.

Some days you push forward.

Some days you recover.

Some days you maintain.

All three can be part of a sustainable life.

Your best day should inspire you.

It shouldn't imprison you.
