The Great Lock-In 2025: Week 7 Check-In

My Mantra: “Consistency over intensity. Progress over perfection.”

This Week’s Vibe: Course Correction & Self-Compassion

🏆 The Weekly Lowdown

  • Career & Biz: The Post-Launch Slump
    • The Scene: I dropped the ball. I allowed other priorities to take over and did zero work on my workbook or planner promo.
    • The Real Win: 🔍 I caught the pattern in real-time. I noticed that without my daily to-do list, I lose focus. This is what the weekly review is helping me with, so I can fix the issue sooner rather than later.
    • Next: Get back to basics. Daily to-do lists are my thing right now and I need to stick to them.
  • Health & Body: Strong Gyal Tings!
    • The Scene: I went to the gym every day this week and fell in love with dense bean salad. This is the first one that I tried. Yummy yummy!
    • Win: My fitness habit is becoming non-negotiable, and I’m finding joy in nutritious food. This foundation held strong while other areas struggled.
    • Watch Out: I acknowledge that daily gym trips could edge into toxic territory, so I’m aware of that.
    • Next: Maintain consistency, but listen to my body’s need for rest.
  • Personal Growth: Doom Scrolling 😬
    • The Scene: I didn’t focus on hobbies or learning. Instead, I scrolled mindlessly.
    • The Real Win: I don’t even know. I guess being aware that I’m falling back into these bad habits is a good thing. It’s taking time away from things that I want to do and that’s not fair to me.
    • Next: Re-enable phone blocks. Choose one hobby to actively do instead of scrolling.
  • Self-Care: Small Wins, Big Fights
    • The Scene: I slept better (thank you, gummies!), but still battled negative self-talk and a fear of being perceived.
    • Win: Progress, not perfection. Earlier sleep is a win. Recognizing the mental struggle without judgment is a win.
    • Challenge: I’m frustrated with myself a bit for dealing with the same shit.
    • Next: Continue the sleep aid and affirmations. Acknowledge the annoyance, but don’t let it derail me.

💡 Key Takeaways This Week

“This journey is for life. There will be ups and downs. I’ll have to course correct.”

This week’s biggest lesson was in real-time pattern recognition. But the most important mindset shift was this:

“How can I be falling behind on my own journey? It’s mine. I am the bar for my own life.”

🎯 Onward to Week 8

The plan is time-blocking. I’m reclaiming my schedule by dedicating specific, protected time for focused work and hobbies. I’ve built a solid foundation, and I’m not letting myself down now. The excitement is still there—I’m just cleaning up a bit.
