Episode Synopsis
Episode Title: From Coasting to Choosing: Your Guide to Finishing Strong
Episode Summary: How do you want to end this year’s chapter? So often, October through December slips by in a blur of busyness…holidays, family gatherings, celebrations and we quietly let go of the habits and goals we committed to earlier in the year. But here’s the truth: the last two months of the year matter. They can either become a time of coasting and “starting over in January,” or a time of intentional choices that set you up for success in the year ahead.
In this episode of Running to Myself, I’ll share:
Why finishing matters more than we think
The hidden cost of giving up the last two months of each year
Practical, doable ways to stay intentional through the holidays
Reflection questions and journaling prompts to help you end the year strong
This isn’t about perfection, hustle, or denying yourself rest and celebration. It's about finishing with intention and integrity, so that January 1st doesn’t feel like a complete reset, but a continuation of the strength you’ve already built.
Highlights & Takeaways:
The “holiday slide” is real, but you don’t have to participate in it
Finishing strong builds self-trust that carries into the next season
One focus > trying to do it all
Anchor habits keep you grounded when life gets busy
“Future You” is your best accountability partner
Reflection Questions:
What one goal or habit do I want to focus on for the rest of this year?
How do I want to feel on December 31st?
What would finishing strong look like in my relationships, health, spiritual life, or personal growth?
What is one anchor habit I can hold onto, no matter how busy the season gets?
