Episode #48: How to Get Momentum Back

Summary

When you get into a rhythm with your routines, following your eating plan, or going to the gym, you feel like you’ve gained momentum. This tends to happen after a burst of motivation, like around the New Year. I call this burst of motivation activation energy. But how many of you are feeling as motivated as you did back in the first week of January?

When you feel activation energy in your brain and body, you feel inspired. You’re ready to show up for your goals. You break out the spreadsheets and start planning, and for a few days, weeks, or months, you start to really see some changes. This works for a while, until you stop feeling motivated. So, it’s time to create real Unstoppable momentum instead.

Tune in this week to discover why motivation and activation energy only last for a short time, and how to create real momentum instead. I’m sharing why Monday-morning motivation is poor-quality fuel for driving you to take action, a personal story about how one thought can zap our momentum toward all of our goals, and how to overcome these hurdles so you can create momentum and generate activation energy whenever you need it.

I’m hosting my next live webinar Quit the Strict Meal Planning and Do This Instead. This webinar is the stepping stone to understanding why doubling down on that next strict meal plan isn’t the solution to reaching your ideal weight. Yes, the plan matters, but I’m teaching three frameworks that cover the other 80% of the work. I promise, being a planning ninja isn’t enough, so click here to get all of the details, dates, times, and to sign up!

There are a few spots left in the April Cohort of The Unstoppable Group. This is my intimate six-month small group coaching program for high-achieving working moms who want to feel better and lose weight at the same time. Reaching your ideal weight is more than an intellectual exercise. It requires real-life messy implementation. We start on April 16^th 2023, and if you’ve been feeling the call to solve this problem once and for all, click here to arrange a free consult with me.
