“I’m falling behind.”

When your voice says:

“I’m so far behind.”

“Everyone’s moving and I’m stuck.”

Coach Lynn says:

“Behind” is often vague. A specific measure gives you something you can respond to. A global judgment only creates pressure.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

• Take one or more Composure Breaths to settle my body.
• Ask: “Behind on what, exactly?”
• Identify the current position and one realistic next milestone.
• Work on that milestone rather than the whole imagined gap.

Coach Lynn says:

A clear measure gives you a plan. A vague judgment creates panic. When you reset your body and ease the pressure, you can stay present and take meaningful action.
