Sick, Stalled, and Starting Again

from One Year, No Excuses · host Chris Hawkins

Week 7 didn’t go as planned. I was sick. Low energy. Foggy. Unmotivated. This episode is an honest reflection on pausing goals to focus on recovery — without quitting. I talk about what it means to temporarily step back, the psychology behind accountability and motivation, and how public commitment impacts follow-through. I also share insights from finishing the books of Exodus and Leviticus this week — what they reveal about structure, discipline, and human nature. No checklist this week. Just recovery, reflection, and restarting.
