A key aspect of the Jedi Path is avoiding the Pitfall of Stagnation. We push ever forward, at least on a personal level, to adapt and revise ourselves, to become better than whom we were at all times. How do you push yourself forward? May the Force continue to guide you.
I push myself by continuing to work on my mental health and staying active in the communities. I am trying to establish a daily routine where I meditate or think about Jedi. I try to inform what I am learning with my own experiences and ways of looking at it. If I am not understanding something I ask for help.
Also I think sticking to my meditation routine and doing something physical each day would be a way to push myself.

I stay mindful that our concept of personal progress is one we induce from personal perspective, and that on times it can be horribly skewed by our biases. That I am fundamentally human, and my performance varies from day to day based on my condition on the day. Thus, I practice patience with myself regarding failure. I try to take a fair view to my own daily accomplishments and successes on their own merit. I let the incidental go, and focus on the purposeful.
If a path to progress in one way is blocked by something, I seek another path to progress I can work on. Staying flexible, pragmatic, but always looking to learn. Rest when one needs rest is a progress of sort, for it allows you to refocus the mind and renew yourself for the tasks to come. As long as there is effort, there will be some manner of success. Strive to take two steps forward each time I step forward, to account for any time I need to step back.
In practical terms - set myself daily goals I can work towards. Maintain a disciplined routine and habit.
