421. When Discouragement (Inevitably) Hits & You Lose Motivation


Listen Later

We are in the season of New Year’s Resolutions. People everywhere are feeling motivated, setting goals and ready to make some real changes!

But what happens in about a month when motivation is low and all those shiny, new resolutions start to feel impossible?

Listener Becky has been there: “I always seem to hit a wall around the 4-week mark with my habits. Usually right around then, if I’m not seeing the results that I really wanted to see, discouragement kind of sets in and I lose my motivation. I can feel myself dwindling, using excuses and then finally not doing it anymore. How can I get past this discouragement and get myself to keep sticking with it?”

Hmmm, sound familiar?

This week I’ve asked Monica Packer, host of the podcast “About Progress”, to help us tackle the inevitable lack of motivation and moments of discouragement that can set in as we are working to establish new habits. If you’ve found yourself losing steam with your healthy habits, then this is the episode for you!
