Stalling and Pushing Forward

If you’ve ever had to push a broken-down car off the road, you know how hard it is. Hopefully, you had some help. It takes a lot of force to get a ton of mass moving those first few inches.

Most of us need an outside force to help us get the momentum we need to change, because the work required is difficult to do without support. Be honest - how would you rate yourself at:

- telling yourself the truth?

We often get stuck due to denial, a victim mentality, or attempting to pursue someone else's desires. Recovering momentum requires accepting where you are, confronting your blind spots, and recognizing your true worth and passions.

- taking small, doable action steps?

We know what we want, but fail to decide where to begin. Or we view problems as insurmountable obstacles. But by breaking large, intimidating goals into small, highly doable steps, small victories start accumulating. Change is underway. Momentum is the result.

- reframing setbacks?

When plans fail or a goal no longer feels right, we’re at risk of stalling on the road to change. Momentum is recovered by reframing the experience as an opportunity for growth and redirecting effort toward the next best step.

If you, like most of us, struggle with any of those three steps, here’s the good news: DREAM4 is your access to confidential, nonjudgmental thinking partners who believe in your ability to succeed.
