The last 7 days have been rough and it forced me to sit and stare into space literally to try and heal. I had been pushing myself hard and what resulted was a major flair of my Ménière’s disease that lasted to date 5 days of misery straight, 3 doctors visits, a neurologist referral and an emergency visit. Why am I telling you this...Today is evaluation day of week 3 - I am at the 21 day mark. The quitting threshold and I have felt like quitting so many times this week. This is a PRIME example of a complex life circumstance that I failed to take into account when I created my Domino goal and MITs. I hate using the label "sick" or "disabled" on myself and I constantly try to push forward as if I was "normal". If you are in the Execution Edge program, I am adding a training today on these things (complex life circumstances) that we need to take into account when creating our goals and MITs. I thought I could push myself and ignore them and this week proved how gravely wrong I was. Complex life circumstances can be a range of things. You are sick, a carer for an elderly parent, a single mum, low income, bad living environment, neurodivergent, part of a minority - all things that can genuinely impact us as a human and big reasons we sometimes don't hit our goals. I wanted to show that out of the blue life can smash you and you are forced to stop. You never saw it coming and it will make you want to quit everything. In these moments you will need to have compassion on your human self. If you are in the Execution Edge, I am adding a new lesson today on exactly this - compassionate curiosity as this has been a BIG mindset thing I have had to work on this week. The Execution Edge framework is saving me...this post is being written in a 10 minute sprint as I am still not well and have another doctor's appointment today. This week has forced me to literally work in 10 minute sprints to just show up at all this week. Plus you are forced to re evaluate how you damaged your health to get there. After all we are told to be successful at all costs right - sacrifice everything.
