The Maisie Hill Experience

279. Why You Delay Your Goals and How to Start Anyway


Listen Later

Do you ever decide that you're ready for a goal, only to find your brain quickly offering very convincing reasons to wait? In this episode, I'm exploring what happens in the space between deciding to pursue something meaningful and actually beginning, especially when resistance, doubt, or seemingly reasonable excuses start to appear.

I break down the common ways your brain delays action, from waiting for better timing to convincing you that you need more clarity, energy, or preparation first. I also share the coaching needed to recognise these patterns for what they are, move through them, and begin before perfect conditions arrive.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of why goal resistance happens and how to work with it differently. You'll be invited to identify your own patterns, interrupt delay tactics more quickly, and use this timely opportunity to start pursuing a meaningful goal now.
