How many of you have been using the So, what? Method? Quick Refresh: we face a “limit” or something doesn’t go as expected. So, what I decided to show up so that’s what I’m going to do! Here’s the next step. I used to… but now I… When we’re facing a limitation it’s important to reflect how we would have reacted in the past (I used to), while then reminding ourselves what we are doing in the moment and why it’s important (but now I) Here’s an example: Situation: I’m about to start a run, when it starts raining moderately. Thought Process: It’s raining. So, what if it’s raining? It’s just water. I used to use the rain as an excuse to not run, but now I’ve decided that the rain isn’t a big deal it just means I’m going to get wet and that’s okay . Here’s an everyday example: Situation: Laundry is starting to pile up. Thought Process: Laundry is starting to pile up. So, what it’s just laundry, it’s not going to eat me. I used to dread doing laundry until I had to dedicate a whole day of doing it, but now I I’m going to start with one load at a time. I hope this helps with your reframe of difficult moments and limitations! What are some reframes you already use?

In any physical endeavor, the hardest part for me isn’t doing the actual work, the hardest part for me is being my honest about how much of the work I am capable of in the moment. Recently I’ve decided to push myself more as a runner. I’ve decided to set higher mileage goals, faster times, I want to feel better on my runs, etc. As I push towards my “limits”, doubt starts to creep in. Before, as I approached those “limits” I would justify stopping early. I would use the excuse of something felt sore, I was tired, or it started to rain, looking for any excuse to turn around. Knowing that I want to run much further than I am currently running, I needed a way to figure out how to convince myself how to keep going. What if when I notice the “limit” (my energy, the weather, etc) I actively decide that it doesn’t matter and focus on something else. I’ll ask myself “So, what?” It’s raining. So, what does that have to do with finishing the run? I’m tired. So, what? You’ve been tired before. So, what? is a great way to ward off excuses that aren’t valid reasons to quit! what are some of your tricks to keep going?
