Listen "Momentum, Minimums + Maximums"
Episode Synopsis
Action. Getting started. Momentum. Consistency.
Starting and keeping up desired habits.
You want to do something. It’s beneficial. Good for you. You know it. But it feels hard to start.
Or . . .
You have a habit. It’s working. It’s good for you. You want to keep it up. But some circumstance arises (travel, a bit project) and you “fall off the wagon.”
These two themes — starting and continuing — are the main action-related topics that my clients bring to our coaching sessions.
Today on the podcast, we’re talking about starting and keeping momentum by embracing the concept of a minimum.
We often unconsciously think about momentum and habits through a black & white lens of perfection — done at A+ level or nothing.
But this way of thinking is what keeps us from starting AND what keeps us from maintaining momentum.
I’m sharing how to start more easily.
And how to keep it going once you do.
