Lately I’ve been struggling with pretty intense afternoon crashes, which is new for me. I work out in the mornings and usually start my day feeling energized, but between 2–3pm I hit a wall and feel like I could fall asleep. After work, I still push myself to walk our dog, Doug, but by then I’m completely wiped. It feels like I have nothing left in the tank. Most nights I’m in bed and asleep by 8:30, and sometimes I’m honestly forcing myself to even stay up that late. No matter what time I go to bed, I’m always up around 5am. I usually wake up once during the night but fall right back asleep. Anyone have any suggestions?

Using a Dream/Realistic/Minimum or flexible success framework is my go to for folks struggling with consistency! Your dream week is the version where everything lines up. It is your ideal expression of working toward goals but it is a north star not a baseline. Your realistic week is the one you hit the most often It's sustainable and honest. Your minimum week is the smallest version of success, even on your worst week you can achieve this. When success has more than one version your brain stops defaulting to "I failed, I'll try again next week." It keeps you moving instead of starting over. None of us need more ways to notice failure, we need more ways to win!
