98 | The 2 Words I Cut From My Vocabulary to Find Peace & Contentment

Does starting something new excite you? Do you dive right into a new goal, and obsessed with seeing results? If so, you are a starter.  Being a starter is a blessing because it means that you don’t hesitate to take the first step. But there is a difference between an immature and a mature starter. Immature starters use a lot of energy up front because they are only interested in the reward. Along the way, that motivation fizzles out, leaving you disappointed, frustrated, and even ready to quit. In today’s episode, Lisa shares her experience as an immature starter. She used to be obsessed with the destination, robbing herself of peace and contentment for years.  Now, Lisa is still a starter, but she is a mature starter. She removed two words from her vocabulary, significantly changing her relationship with her goals. She has no problem launching into something new, but she has taught herself to appreciate the journey and focus on mastery instead of speed.  If you are a starter looking to learn how to control your pace, ensuring you have energy and motivation from the first step through to the finish line, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the two words you need to remove from your vocabulary to find peace and contentment while working toward your goals.    JOIN OUR NEXT 30-DAY PLANT-BASED VEGAN SOS CHALLENGE Do you have what it takes to commit to the next Plant Protocol® 30-Day Vegan, Salt, Oil, and Sugar-Free Challenge?
