How to Keep Going When You’re Not Winning

  1. Assess Your Effort Honestly

    • Are you giving it your all? Identify one area where you can push harder and commit to it for the next week.

  2. Focus on Small Wins

    • Break down your larger goal into smaller milestones. Celebrate every improvement—no matter how minor.

  3. Revisit Your Process

    • Write out your current approach and identify gaps. Are there inefficiencies? Areas where you’re not as disciplined? Make one adjustment this week.

  4. Schedule Reflection Time

    • Block 15 minutes at the end of each day to journal. What went well? What didn’t? Use this as a tool to stay self-aware and motivated.

  5. Lean on Your Team or Network

    • Share your challenges with someone you trust. Often, external perspectives can reignite your confidence or spark new ideas.

  6. Create a Visual Reminder

    • Write down why you started and what you’re working toward. Keep it visible as a daily motivator.

  7. Measure Effort Over Outcomes

    • Track what you’re doing to improve, not just the results. Progress comes from consistent action, even if the results take time to show.
