Mindset Shift: Gap Vs. Gain Mentality
Mindset Shift: The Power of Focusing on the Gain
In today's video, we’re diving into a powerful mental framework that can completely shift how you experience progress and success: the Gap vs. the Gain mentality.
Coined by Dan Sullivan, this concept is all about how we measure our growth. When you’re in the Gap, you’re constantly comparing yourself to an ideal future or someone else’s success — and no matter how far you’ve come, it never feels like enough. It’s a recipe for burnout, frustration, and feeling stuck.
But when you live in the Gain, you measure your progress by how far you’ve come from where you started. It’s a mindset of gratitude, growth, and forward momentum.

Why Fascia Massage Might Be the Missing Piece in Your Wellness Routine
When we think of massage, most of us picture relaxation, stress relief, and maybe a little muscle recovery. But there’s a deeper layer—literally and figuratively—that’s gaining attention in the wellness world: fascia massage.
At Movara, we believe in addressing the body as a whole. That’s why fascia-focused bodywork is an important part of our integrative approach to health and healing. Whether you’re dealing with chronic tension, limited mobility, or just looking to feel more connected to your body, understanding your fascia might be the key.
