As I prepare to attend a writer's conference next weekend, I have been giving a lot of thought to what "work in progress" I want to focus on.
My decision is surrounding this concept of modeling others who have achieved success. While this is wise and there is much to gain from modeling the behaviors of successful people, sometimes that modeling can be to a fault.
One of the most common examples is modeling someone's diet plan when you want to drop a few pounds. While it is smart to take a look at what is working for others, there has to be some thought into how to make it your own.
Let's say you choose someone you want to model, so you do their exact same workout and eat the exact same food. This seems like a great idea, right? Until you sustain an injury or the diet makes you sick.
What am I getting at? In the example of a diet plan, the behavior we need to model is exercise and eating healthy. The details of that now have to become personal based on where you are and the safest, most effective way to get there.
I have many scenarios running through my mind surrounding this concept. I will continue to share them throughout the week.
Thoughts, questions, or comments? Post below.
