Action. Getting started. Momentum. Consistency.

Starting and keeping up desired habits.

You want to do something. It’s beneficial. Good for you. You know it. But it feels hard to start.

Or . . .

You have a habit. It’s working. It’s good for you. You want to keep it up. But some circumstance arises (travel, a bit project) and you “fall off the wagon.”

These two themes — starting and continuing — are the main action-related topics that my clients bring to our coaching sessions.

Today on the podcast, we’re talking about starting and keeping momentum by embracing the concept of a minimum.

We often unconsciously think about momentum and habits through a black & white lens of perfection — done at A+ level or nothing.

But this way of thinking is what keeps us from starting AND what keeps us from maintaining momentum.

I’m sharing how to start more easily.

And how to keep it going once you do.

Whether in one part of your life or in general, you’ve likely felt the ick of feeling stuck.

We all have at one point or another.

Stuck in a job, but not sure what to do next.

Stuck about making a relationship decision.

Stuck.

It feels uncomfortable, slow, disempowered.

Like there’s no way to make a good decision. Or downsides to every choice.

Most of my clients find me at points when they have a stuck point — they want help to break free of stuck and move forward, create momentum, and make decisions.

Today, on the very first episode of the Purposeful Leader podcast, I’m sharing a three-step strategy for un-sticking yourself and re-engaging in your life or work.

We’ll also talk about the psychology of stuck. Why we feel this way, how to notice when we’re feeling stuck, and how to reverse course.

Thanks for listening.
