What to do when things get tough.
Things may get tricky in achieving your goals. Did you know that week three can prove to be the most important week of your plan?
The third week is traditionally the time when things get a little bit harder. The previous two weeks have gone well, but the mental stamina and motivation to continue are slightly waning.
Even if you don’t practice yoga, this quote can be used in context to any reluctance or waning energy: ‘The yoga pose begins when you want to leave it.’ - BKS Iyengar
It’s pushing through these ‘hump day’ thoughts (and Wednesday is the third day, right?!) of returning to bed and not continuing with what the first two weeks set out that strengthens your chances of succeeding. Every time you overcome thoughts like that lessens the likelihood of failure.
So your plan for week three should continue what weeks one and two set out, with a little bit more awareness of how the work is making you feel.
What differences do you feel in energy? In motivation? In your motivation to continue achieving your goal?
Write them in your ‘Week 3’ review and compare them to before.
Start writing down when you notice these shifts in whatever capacity they arrive, and continue to follow your plan.
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
