Well said, it's about trending in the right direction for the long-term. Comeback speed is a helpful way to keep the right perspective.

This is the first time I’ve heard of the idea of “comeback speed,” and it’s both intimidating and encouraging. It gave me a whole new way to measure progress—one that helps me realign without the guilt. I’m personally in a moment of feeling like I’ve fallen off, and your article really resonated. It reminded me that I can get back on track. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words, Jenny.

I’ve been there too — those down moments can feel heavy, and guilt sometimes disguises itself as helpful.

But when we practice self-compassion, we tap into the kind of motivation that helps us keep coming back, again and again, until we get where we’re going.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Let’s keep spreading the word — and thank you again for sharing this.

This is one of the rare times when I read something that genuinely helps create a new mental model in my mind. This is something that I think I will remember for a long time. I don't make a habit of this type of praise but I found this genuinely perspective shifting. Thank you.

Wow, your words really moved me — thank you.

I’m so glad this resonated and helped you see things differently. Reframing progress has been a game changer for me, and I’m confident it can be for you too — whether now or down the road.

Truly grateful you took the time to read and share. You have my full appreciation.
