You may know, objectively, that these plans no longer make sense given your new situation.  Still, your brain often holds onto these previous targets. Each time you realize you\u2019re not reaching them can provoke feelings of failure. Chances are, though, you\u2019re making progress in your recovery in some way, each and every day. Shifting your focus to that forward motion, rather than solely mourning what you\u2019ve lost, represents a powerful way to change your mindset around recovery. This week, Carrie talks through an exercise designed to call attention to your achievements. Using Redefine Success\u2014which is on page 50 of our book Rebound, if you\u2019ve picked it up\u2014you can learn to truly celebrate your wins.
