“I've been coasting and I know I'm capable of much more.”
Coasting on yesterday's effort is just a slower form of shrinking. You already know your actual ceiling. The discomfort you feel right now is your nature pushing against the ceiling you've decided to stay under.
Your Practice
Name the area where you're coasting. Set one performance standard for this week that is genuinely uncomfortable — not impossible, just past what you've been accepting from yourself. Do not negotiate with yourself once it's set. Meet it.
