Are You Abandoning Yourself? ... The Quitters Season
Every time you abandon your own plan, you train your nervous system to distrust you. We are at the time of January and February where quitter season beings. A time when people bail on themselves. So, let’s talk about the real reason your Lifeboat Business can feel hard during this season. It’s not because you’re not smart. It’s not because you’re not capable It’s because you’ve quit on yourself enough times that your nervous system is waiting for you to disappear again. When you start strong, then stop…Start again, then stop…Your body learns a pattern... “Don’t get excited. She won’t finish.” That’s why you feel resistance. That’s why you procrastinate. That’s why you suddenly want to reorganize your whole house when it’s time to post, pitch, or build. Your nervous system is not lazy It’s protective. It’s trying to prevent the pain of another letdown. When we quit on ourselves, the inner critic shows up and starts verbally abusing you. If you're in that spot... Here’s a reframe you can use... A Lifeboat Business isn’t built with motivation... it’s built with self-trust. And self-trust is built one kept promise at a time. Not big promises... Small ones you can’t wiggle out of. If you only do one thing today, do this... Make a promise to yourself so small you can keep it even on your worst day. Examples: - “I will message 3 people today.” - “I will post one imperfect offer.” - “I will spend 20 minutes writing a short post or making a program.” - “I will record a 60-second video and upload it.” Then keep your promise to yourself. Because every time you keep your plan, your nervous system learns a new pattern... “She’s safe. She follows through. We’re not helpless.” And that’s when momentum becomes real. What’s your one non-negotiable Lifeboat action for the next 7 days? Drop it below. Keep it small. Keep it real. Keep it done.
