Does This Week Feel Like Last Week?
Here’s a tough question for you: Is this week shaping up to be a repeat of last week? Same routines, same habits, same results? And yet, are you expecting different outcomes? Let me tell you, that stuck, sinking feeling you’re experiencing is a call to action for change.
And that brings me to the first truth I wish every woman knew: you need goals. Without a goal, you’re a ship drifting in the ocean. No wind, no waves, just floating—getting nowhere fast. Worse still, it doesn’t matter how productive you are at doing no-purpose, no-goal tasks. Without a direction, all that effort is wasted energy.
What Goal? Just Pick One That Sparks You
Now, you might be thinking, What goal? Here’s the liberating part: it doesn’t need to be earth-shattering or perfect. If it excites you—if it lights a tiny fire inside and nudges you closer to the person you want to become—then it’s a great place to start. Want to feel healthier? Want a career change? Want to write a book, run a marathon, or finally get that promotion? All good goals. But without naming a goal, you’ll stay stuck on the hamster wheel, spinning and frustrated.
So, pause here. Name your goal. Write it down. Make it real.
The Mountain of Starting
Now for part two: the action. The idea of starting can feel like climbing Everest. You want to get fit, but where do you even begin? You hate your job, but updating your CV feels overwhelming. You dream of writing a book, but the thought of the blank page and finding time is enough to paralyze you.
Here’s the secret: don’t overcomplicate it. Just take the first step. Start small. It doesn’t need to be perfect or pretty; it just needs to happen. Let’s break it down:
- Fitness Goal: Put on your shoes and go for a walk. Or sign up for a fitness class. Don’t think too hard about it.
- Career Goal: Dust off that CV and email it to one company today. Just one.
- Writing Goal: Open your laptop and write one sentence. Yes, just one. That’s the start.
Momentum begins when you move. Finetuning, strategizing, and perfecting—that comes later. But right now? Just start. Action is the magic.
Stop Waiting for the Lucky Break
The biggest mistake I see women make is waiting. Waiting for the perfect moment. Waiting for someone to swoop in and save them. Waiting for a “lucky break.” But here’s the truth: you already have what you need to take the next step. No knight in shining Lamborghini is coming. You are the hero of this story.
