When the Excitement of “NEW” wears off, do this

from Dopamine Diaries · host Coach Kate

Judge me for this, resisting the Xanax urge today.Yes, that's happening. Right at the start of this new season of business, I felt excitement, courage, delusional confidence. And now? Freeze has also entered the fucking chat.I get real about what a freeze response actually feels like, why the work I'm avoiding isn't even hard, and why I almost didn't record this episode because of shame.I talk about the cycle so many of us live in. Super excited about something new, then panic, then walking away and not even being able to explain why. And why that cycle, more than anything else, is what fuels the inner critic that says you're just never going to figure it out.In this one:Why I'm walking away from my work today, and why that's not the mistake it sounds likeThe difference between brain work and body work when it comes to real changeWhy perfect doesn't exist, and what I'm choosing to do instead of chasing itIf you've ever gotten excited about something new, then quietly ghosted it a few days later without knowing why, this one's for you.HBA: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/hba
