Perhaps you have started on a new venture this year and you have made some progress, but it isn’t as easy/enjoyable/smooth as you anticipated. This can be extremely discouraging, especially if you are in a pattern of negative self-talk. You may listen to yourself saying things like, “I knew this wouldn’t work”, “This just isn’t for me”, “Why even bother?” and the classic, “I’ll just start again next week”. This is a critical time in which many people slide back into their old habits because, in their view : they tried and failed. But no journey ever goes exactly the way we expect. It is usually these trials in the early days that build the resilience and skills that you will need later and also make your success that much more satisfying at the end! So, ignore those negative thoughts and push through. It may not be perfect just yet, but imperfect progress is better than no progress at all. Stick with it!
