This week I want to gently untangle something that confuses a lot of women — especially women who genuinely want to grow.
Intensity is not the same thing as momentum.
Intensity feels urgent.
Momentum feels steady.
Intensity says:
“Do more.”
“Move faster.”
“Don’t slow down.”
“Catch up.” ……. it’s a pressure.
Momentum says:
🌺 “Take the next step you can actually sustain.”
🌺 “Keep going — even if it’s slower.”
🌺 “Stay present.”
A lot of women lose confidence not because they lack ability, but because they’ve confused pressure with progress.
They start strong.
They push hard.
They override their capacity.
They burn out.
They stop.
And then they quietly tell themselves,
“I just don’t follow through.”
But the issue wasn’t discipline.
It was pace.
If the way you’ve been trying to move forward constantly leaves you needing recovery, it may not be momentum — it may be strain.
And strain erodes confidence. (believe me i have BEEN There!!!!)
Momentum — the kind we’re practicing here — builds something different:
🕊️ peace instead of panic
🕊️ steadiness instead of spikes
🕊️ trust instead of self-doubt
This isn’t about moving faster.
It’s about moving in a way you don’t have to quit.
So here’s a gentle reflection for this week and journal prompt:
Reflection:
🪞 Where have I mixed up pressure with progress?
Journal:
📝 Lord, This week show me one clear path forward I can implement today for progress, not pressure.
God bless you,
Tina
