Assessing Your Progress (and Mine!)
When I work with clients, we routinely assess their progress. It’s an important part of the partnership and the process.
This week, it is time to assess my progress with this newsletter — and how it may (or may not) be helping you. To do that, I’d like you to assess how you are doing on your journey to becoming a health contender.
I know many of you are working on personal health-related goals. So I’d like you to consider the self-assessment questions below that will help you measure some of the subjective and objective metrics that can help you along your health journey.

Consider your health-goals and the outcome you desire, as well as the behaviors involved.
Self-rate each statement on the 1 (worst) to 10 (best) scale provided with a number that best describes you or the situations relevant to the desired outcome or behavior, right now.
Once completed, choose one metric that resonates the most with you. Capture that self-rating (on paper or a digital note.) Refer to it routinely - daily or weekly to self-assess the progress of that practice.
On a 1 (avoidance) to 10 (generous) scale, self-rate your general mood in consideration of the time you spend with your core communities (e.g. work, home, social, etc.)
On a 1 (terrible) to 10 (ideal) scale, self-rate the quality of your structured accountability.
On a 1 (scattered) to 10 (focused) scale, self-rate your ability to align your values with actionable responses.
On a 1 (triggering) to 10 (calming) scale, self-rate the quality of your environments.
On a 1 (chaos) to 10 (total control) scale, self-rate the level of meaningful action in your environments.

On a 1 (indifferent) to 10 (completely) scale, self-rate your general satisfaction of self-compassion.
On a 1 (amateur) to 10 (skilled) scale, self-rate your capabilities to shape the paths of your environment to achieve desired behaviors.
On a 1 (indifferent) to 10 (completely) scale, self-rate your level of trust in your body’s capabilities.

On a 1 (poor) to 10 (meaningful) scale, self-rate the quality of your practice commentary.
