023: Breaking the Quitting Cycle: A Year of Follow-Through

Hey there, it's Mattie Givens, and I'm thrilled to be back with a brand new episode of Growing The Good! I took a little break to train for my first half marathon, and now I'm eager to share the highs, lows, and invaluable lessons from my journey. In this episode, I open up about the temptations that almost led me to quit on my goals. From my early attempts at running 5Ks to the self-doubt that held me back, I lay it all out on the table. My personal struggle with the "I'm not a runner" mindset is something many can relate to. But guess what? I conquered that mindset and completed my first half marathon! Along the way, I share insights into common barriers that might be holding you back and how to break free from them. This episode isn't just about my story; it's about empowering you with actionable strategies. I discuss the impact of writing down goals, the accountability that comes with sharing them, the magic of setting smaller milestones, and the motivational force of incentives. I'm excited to make 2024 the year of follow-through, and I want you to join me on this journey. Whether your goal is a marathon or starting a book club, this episode is packed with practical tips to turn your aspirations into achievements. Share your key takeaways with a screenshot of the episode on your stories! Let's make 2024 the year we quit quitting and celebrate success together.
