From Fizzling Out to Fired Up: How to Maintain Motivation for the Long Haul

Midlife Mojo: Fit and Flourishing In Your 50's

Starting to work toward a big goal is exciting, but sustaining effort is tough. Motivation fades, obstacles arise. How can you stay on track over the long haul? In this episode, Lisa talks about her recent experience with this, offering key mindset shifts and practical strategies for consistency, self-compassion, and routine.

In this episode:

The Power of Momentum

- Motivation ebbs and flows naturally when pursuing long-term goals.
- Consistency is key. Keep moving forward with small steps.
- Compounding effect of tiny actions leads to remarkable progress over months and years.

Cultivating Self-Compassion

- Self-judgment derails consistency. Self-compassion gets you back on track.
- Reflect on how far you've come, not how you fell short of perfection.
- Allow slips to become learning experiences, not reasons to quit.

Leveraging the Power of Routines

- Routines give you ready-made actions so you stay on track.
- Build in flexibility - don't micromanage every detail.
- Work with natural energy patterns when planning routine timing.
- Protect time for habits as non-negotiable. Prepare in advance to support routines.
