When Pushing Yourself Stops Working
When this happens:
Motivation fades despite effort
Progress plateaus and feels draining
Rest doesn't recharge you like it used to
Why it Sticks:
You're running on willpower alone
Goals shifted but method didn't
Nervous system is overloaded
One experiment:
Swap "push harder" for a 10-min slow check-in
Ask: What would make this 5% lighter today?
Test for 2 days, then reassess
Coaching, not therapy. No diagnosis or treatment.
Working with the energy you have, see how it works here.
