Some coaches will tell you that if you’re going to make a big life change – like losing weight or really learning a new sales technique or turning yourself into an expert painter – that you need to go all in.
I mean ALL. IN.
I’m talking weekend course taking, evening journaling, everything on your podcast listen list is this person, skipping your regular routine and chores and cooking in favor of the program’s homework, all that sort of stuff.
They say it’s because you need to push the reset button to give your brain a break.
*Other* coaches say that it’s all bunk. That all you need to do is a little a day. That the only way to eat an elephant is a bite at a time.
So who’s right? Or neither of them?
Well, I’ve got some thoughts for you today on this, and I’m going to straddle the fence and say they both are – and they’re both wrong.
You see, each approach can work – but neither approach can work for you during your entire life. There will be days, there will be seasons, when you’re so full up with family stuff that one podcast episode a day is about the extent of the change you can fit in.
There will be other seasons when you’ve got all the time in the world (for a mom, that’s like 2 hours) to devote to courses, and program homework, and all the things.
But you can’t expect yourself to *only* pick one or the other all your life hereafter.
The key is pinpointing what season you’re in *now*.
(And then following the life change advice that fits that season – whether immersion or dipping your toe.)
So for this next phase of your journey that’s coming up – whether it’s reading more books, or finally getting a consistent workout routine, or learning how to use Facebook ads – I want you to ask yourself:
Which season am I in?
Can I do deep dives every day, or do I need trickles of change over evenings and weekends?
And then give yourself grace to stick with the answer, trust that that’s going to be enough change for where you are right now, and stick the next course lesson or podcast episode in.
Because you’re exactly where you should be, and it’s all going to work out.
God’s got this. Trust the process.
