When “Good Enough” Becomes Self-Sabotage: Raise Your Floor, Keep Your Sanity

Feeling stuck in survival mode—skipping workouts, stress-snacking, sleeping less, and calling it “good enough”? In this fireside chat, we unpack how that bar quietly drops and what to do when “good enough” stops being enough. You’ll learn how to spot the red flags, reframe your mindset, and raise your floor with small shifts that actually stick during busy seasons and the holidays.

‍

We riff on five everyday arenas where standards slip—and how to course-correct without perfectionism:

• Food noise vs food joy: enjoy treats on purpose, not by accident
• The good-enough workout: protect the appointment, adjust the dose
• Morning light vs winter blues: use light as a free energy reset
• Stress vs rest at family gatherings: step-out rituals that save your tone
• Gratitude as a reset: one specific thank-you that changes your day

‍

Plus, we show you how to use habit anchors to make consistency automatic and craft a one-line floor statement you can run for the next 7 days.
