27. You Don't Need More Willpower - You Need Stronger ANCHORS
Ever find yourself not taking action on something that deeply matters to you... again?
Whether it’s launching your business, posting consistently on Instagram, writing that book, or showing up for your side hustle… you know what you want. And yet, here you are, stuck in the same loop. Sound familiar?
In this episode of The Take Action Toolkit, we’re exploring a powerful reframe that can help you shift that pattern, one that’s grounded in research from psychology and behaviour change. You’ll learn how to reconnect with what truly matters when motivation dips, and why your values might just be the tool you didn’t know you needed.
💡 This episode is especially for you if:
You’ve been feeling disconnected from your goals or stuck in procrastination
You want to move forward with more purpose, clarity, and self-compassion
You’re ready to stop relying on motivation and start building something more sustainable
I’ll guide you through a practical, four-step journaling exercise to help you re-anchor yourself when life feels messy, plus share a personal take on how values can act as both your compass and your anchor.
Ready for action?
