Your enthusiasm loses its color and power. You skip one workout. Then another.

The lemons you bought for your new morning glass of hot lemon-water get forgotten and start to go bad in the fruit bowl...

You go a few days without the meditations, or meal plan, or affirmations.

Then a week...then a month...

You eat the pizza, and end the day scrolling on your phone (instead of body-brushing and journalling, or whatever else you had set out to do so enthusiastically at first!).

You might even start to dread some of the rules or routines you've filled your schedule with, and find yourself avoiding them, or making excuses.

And then you're left thinking:

Here we go again!

"I just don't have the same willpower other people have....

I've let myself down yet again....

I can't see anything through... Nothing ever sticks for me...

Why am I so good at always self-sabotaging?!"

Or perhaps, while you dream of a life overflowing with love, joy, success, and beauty — something inside keeps you trapped from even trying in the first place. You know you want more—more happiness, more fulfillment, more confidence — but every time you think about reaching for it, doubts creep in. You tell yourself: “I’m too busy,” “I’m not good enough,” “That’s not for me.”

This is a dangerous place to reach, because this is the point where you really begin to lose belief in your ability to change.

You might start to think you've proven one too many times that you just don't have it in you, or can't keep your own promises to yourself.

You're both the VILLAIN and VICTIM on the stage of your life - and there doesn't seem to be a hero arriving anytime soon!
