M0012.004 - Effort-Based Success

Focusing on the effort and commitment invested in a task as the bar for success, rather than the final outcome.
This approach recognizes that while the outcome of a project may be influenced by factors beyond your control, the effort you put in is within your control and should be the primary measure of success.
Valuing effort over results fosters a healthier mindset, reduces stress, and encourages consistent progress, even in the face of unpredictable challenges.

Effort Tracking: Keeping a record of the time and energy invested in a project, and celebrating the work you've done, regardless of the outcome.
Learning Through Process: Shifting your focus from whether a project was successful to what you learned and how your skills improved through the process.
Reframing Failure: Viewing setbacks or less-than-ideal outcomes as part of the journey, and recognizing the effort you put in as the true success.

Effort-based success is closely connected to reality testing, as it encourages evaluating your contributions realistically, rather than through the lens of perfection or success/failure.
It ties into depersonalization by helping to separate self-worth from external outcomes, fostering resilience when things don't go as planned.
Additionally, self-compassion supports the ability to celebrate your effort, and managing self-talk helps reinforce a positive internal narrative about effort and growth.
When it comes to overcoming task initiation challenges, recognizing effort as success can lower barriers to starting tasks. Additionally, focusing on the effort can reduce the pressure of completing overwhelming tasks perfectly.
