Ep30: Unlocking Motivation When Goals Seem Out of Reach

The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

Hello, and welcome back to The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today, we're diving into a topic that resonates with many of us: how to find motivation when it feels like you just can't seem to complete a goal, so let's explore some strategies to replenish that fire!

· #1: Reconnect with Your "Why" - Our first trick is all about reconnecting with your "why." Sometimes, we lose motivation because we forget why we set a particular goal in the first place.

· #2: Break It Down - Our second trick is to break your goal down into smaller, more manageable steps. This can boost your motivation as you see progress unfold.

· #3: Visualize Success - Visualization is a powerful tool. This mental imagery can be a potent motivator, as it creates a positive connection between your goal and the emotions associated with achieving it.

· #4: Find an Accountability Partner - Sharing your goals with someone you trust can provide the external motivation you need.

· #5: Embrace Flexibility - Sometimes, our initial goals need adjustment as circumstances change. Remember, it's okay to pivot and set new goals that align better with your current situation.

· #6: Celebrate Milestones - Last but not least, celebrate your milestones along the way. This positive reinforcement can create a feedback loop of motivation, making you more inclined to continue your journey.
