042. Why Do We Keep Making Promises to Ourselves That We Don't Keep?

from Motivated to Reshape with Melanie

Have you ever made a commitment to yourself, fully intending to follow through, only to realize a week or two later that you've stopped? Maybe it was something in your business, a health goal, or a habit you genuinely wanted to build. In this episode, I'm talking about what happens between "I'm going to do this" and "I didn't do it," including my own recent experience of trying to get back into daily meditation. We'll look at how life, emotional energy, unrealistic expectations, and the conversations we have with ourselves can affect our follow-through. And why understanding what happened might help you get back to what matters a whole lot sooner. 🎧 Grab the Podcast Cheat Sheet: I've put together a few questions to help you think about a commitment you haven't kept and what you want to do next.
