The Passion Paradox by Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness is changing the way I look at process versus goals. Staying in the game, not just the win, is uncomfortable and hard and thrilling and boring and all of it. But the journey is where the reward is. Plan, act then deal with what comes up. Read the book!
"You don't have to feel great or even good to act. Sure, a consistent practice may take at least a little motivation to get going, but over time the equation is reversed. Dedicating yourself to the practice, no matter how you feel, is what builds motivation. The practice is what makes you feel good and changes your mindset, not the other way around.
