Motivation becomes almost non-existent by February for new year’s resolutions and goals. If you are like many working moms, you probably want a “redo” or to start fresh this month or perhaps you’re even ready to quit. But here’s the thing, quitting or even starting over is one of the worst things you can do. There’s a reason why you didn’t make progress towards yours goals in January and you need to know exactly what didn’t work and why so you can fix it moving forward. But if you decide to start again, you’re likely not going to evaluate your failed attempts. In fact, avoiding thinking about failure is probably one of the reasons why you want to start over to begin with. In this episode I make a case for why you should keep going toward your goals instead of start fresh, take a “redo” or even quit. Additionally, I will offer 3 insights into why that is the better direction to take especially if you find yourself already off track for the year. Topics in this episode:What you miss out on if you try to start again toward your goalsThe importance of failure and building a failure toleranceThe role emotions play in you making progress toward your goals (or not)You have 2 options right now, when it comes to your new year’s resolutions or goals – here is how each of them will play out Show Notes & References: Prioritize yourself and your goals this year by working with a coach.
