Are you tired of starting something, only to quit halfway through? You're not alone! We all find ourselves in that cycle at some point—getting excited about a goal, but somehow losing steam when things get tough. But what if I told you that quitting doesn’t have to be your default? In fact, you can break that cycle and finally finish what you start.
Today, I'm diving deep into 3 reasons why you keep quitting on yourself and 3 tools you can use NOW to change that, plus an exciting announcement: Our 3-Week VIP Challenge kicks off Monday, April 7th! This challenge is built to help you stay committed, build discipline, and most importantly, finish strong.
But before we dive into the details of the challenge, let’s explore why we often quit—and how we can fix it.
3 Reasons You Keep Quitting On Yourself
1. You’re Not Giving Yourself Permission To Go All In
Often, we’re afraid to fully commit because we don’t want to fail. So, we keep one foot out the door, telling ourselves, “I’ll try, but if it gets too hard, I have an out.” Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: by leaving yourself an escape route, you’re setting yourself up to quit. You’re not truly allowing yourself to go all in.
Solution: Permission to go all in doesn’t mean being perfect. It means deciding to show up—no matter what. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be consistent.
2. You’re Lacking a Strong "Why"
When your reason for a goal is superficial—like wanting to fit into a bikini or lose 10 pounds—it’s easy to bail when things get tough. The solution is digging deeper. Why do you really want this? What’s the deeper, more meaningful reason behind your goal?
Solution: Find your why. Whether it’s feeling stronger, improving your energy, or setting a better example for your family, make sure your “why” is deeply personal. When it’s anchored in something meaningful to you, quitting isn’t even an option.
3. You’re Getting Stuck In the All-Or-Nothing Trap
This one is huge. We often fall into the mindset that if we can’t do everything perfectly, we shouldn’t do it at all. Missing a day or a workout doesn’t mean all is lost—but we often throw in the towel completely. The "all-or-nothing" mentality keeps us stuck in a cycle of quitting.
Solution: Give yourself grace. Progress doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to keep moving forward. Miss a day? Don’t start over. Pick up right where you left off. Focus on consistency, not perfection.
3 Tools To Fix That NOW
Now that you know why you’re quitting, let’s get practical. These 3 tools are actionable strategies that will help you break free from the cycle and get back on track.
Tool #1: Break It Down Into Bite-Sized Pieces
Looking at your big goal can be overwhelming. So, instead of focusing on the entire goal, focus on today’s action. Ask yourself: “What can I do today that will move me closer to my goal?” Breaking it down into manageable chunks helps build momentum and keeps you focused on the process—not the outcome.
Tool #2: Write Your "Why" Down & Revisit It Daily
Your reason for starting needs to be front and center. Write down your why, and stick it somewhere you can see it every day. Whether it's on your bathroom mirror, in your journal, or on your desk, remind yourself daily why you’re doing this. When you keep your "why" in sight, it makes it so much harder to quit.
Tool #3: Accountability Is Everything
Accountability is the secret ingredient to making your goals a reality. Whether it’s a friend, a coach, or a group, having someone to check in with keeps you on track. That’s why accountability is built into the 3-Week VIP Challenge—you’ll have daily check-ins, prizes, and support from like-minded women to keep you going.
