Anticipate "The Slump"
from Where the Road Runs Out · host Amanda Hinkkanen
During this episode Amanda highlights that every meaningful change includes a predictable slump, and you can navigate it far more gracefully when you expect it, name it, and prepare for it while your motivation is high.Key Takeaways:- Every meaningful change includes a predictable slump—a dip in motivation, confidence, and energy a few weeks in.- The slump is normal and not a sign you made the wrong decision.- Your slump has a pattern: doubt, boredom, overwhelm, or the urge to revert to what’s familiar.- Identify your personal slump signals and plan for them before the change- Write down your why before you begin any major change; keep it visible as an anchor.- For Boredom, plan strategies that help you re-engage, such as switching routines, adding novelty, or changing environments.- Acknowledge what you’ll miss when leaving something familiar and plan support for those losses.- When it's hard, don’t reinvent the wheel—ask for help, seek recommendations, and use tools that make things easier.- Celebrate milestones to make progress visible and motivating.- Build in rest and avoid overcommitting during periods of major change.- Store your "slump plan" somewhere easy to find so you can revisit it when the dip arrives.Find me at my website: WhereTheRoadRunsOut.comContact me via email at:[email protected]
