National Quitters Day: Stop Quitting Your Goals in Midlife
In this episode of The Menopause Method, we’re talking about National Quitters Day—that infamous second Friday of January when most New Year’s resolutions start to fizzle out.
Why do so many goals fall short?
It’s often the all-or-nothing mindset that trips us up. Instead of rigid resolutions, I’m advocating for intentions—a flexible, forgiving approach to progress.
We’ll talk about the importance of self-reflection, emotional awareness, and why acknowledging the small wins is key to sticking with your goals.
Let’s reframe health as a journey, not a destination, and remember: it’s not about perfection, it’s about consistent, compassionate growth.
We'll cover:
- Ease Up on Perfectionism: The all-or-nothing mindset can hinder progress. Embrace life's journey, and learn from inevitable mistakes instead of giving up entirely.
- Set Goals Mindfully: Internal motivations rooted in personal reflection often have more staying power than superficial targets. Tuning into emotions can guide us to more meaningful change.
- Timing Matters: Winter, a season of reflection rather than growth, might not be ideal for setting new resolutions. Consider using this time for inward reflection and prepare to set new goals as spring approaches.
