Stalled Momentum?

We are officially in the 3rd week of January and hopefully your New Years Resolution is still rolling along. But I wanted to bring something to light that could happen. Stalled momentum. It is something that happens to even the most successful people and often times at the most inopportune times.

My clients and I too, have experienced that point where something just stops clicking. It’s pretty frustrating because it is not like a switch that just shuts off but more like a slow sputtering to a full on stall. You lose momentum and drive and at a certain point, checking yourself out at some level. Here are the symptoms:

Feeling somewhat disconnected to your goal
“Something” seems to come up that causes you to redirect your focus
Focusing on what is not working instead of what is
Questioning the value of what you are working toward
Wondering if you can really do what you set out to do
Looking at other options to completing your goal
Not following through on commitments to yourself, your business or your clients.

If this is where you are, please know that it is completely normal! It is part of the development process and happens to everyone at some point in the growth evolution!

So what is the cause and why does it happen?

The cause…your STUFF! Your stuff is coming up and trying to hijack the progress you have already made. Your patterns are either showing up in a way that you have seen before OR they are showing up in a different but equally as damaging way. It is like a flu bug that evolves into a different strain of virus.

And WHY does this happen? Just like the flu bug, it forms a different strain because the old one has become ineffective at it’s job. Your stuff’s job is to protect you. It is to protect you from the unknown and that which could be harmful. Your stuff doesn’t know if success, is good or bad, it only knows that it’s unknown. And lets face it, if you are evolving your stuff is constantly trying to catch up.

If you are not in this place I ask that you book mark this blog and come back to it, for IF you do end up in this place.

If you are here now, I ask “are you going to let your Stuff break the commitment you made to yourself and success?” I encourage you to use your internal and external resources to move beyond this stall.

As a coach, it is my job to challenge and support my clients ALL the way to success. It is my job to hold a higher standard for my clients because I TRULY believe they can accomplish great things.

Whether I am your coach or you have someone else, if you are stalled, reach out to your coach for the support that can take you all the way down the road of Success!
