A Surprising Way To Sustain Goal Momentum

Keep dropping your goals? Try this surprising and counterintuitive hack.

It seems counterintuitive, but taking breaks or rest days can help you sustain momentum when you’re working on a goal or a job search.

Pushing seven days a week, day and night, can lead to burnout, avoidance and/or giving up.

Consciously scheduling rest days or stopping work at a specific hour each day allows you to recharge and come back fresh and committed. (I know I sound like Captain Obvious here, but you’d be amazed at how few people do this.)

If guilt or worry arises, have a response ready to counter those thoughts such as, “I give myself free time, free from worry and doubt.” (That’s my go-to phrase on nights and weekends.)

I can help you identify habits that derail your goals – and superior strategies to stay on track – when you do one-on-one coaching with me or join my group program.

Not sure whether coaching can help you? Read 9 Signs That You Might Need Life Coaching to see if any apply to you.

Learn more by booking a free coaching consultation with me. My clients can confirm that coaching can help you gain confidence, combat negative self talk and achieve goals that truly fulfill you. You’ll find even more information in my Frequently Asked Questions About Coaching section.
