When the New Year Motivation Wears Off | Monday Push
Good morning,
A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls. -Proverbs 25:28 NLT
January is almost over. The excitement of a fresh start is fading, and now we’re entering the part of the year where consistency matters most.
Will you reach the goals you set at the beginning of the year? Time will tell.
Last week, we talked about getting back up—because some things are in our control, and some things aren’t. You’ve probably heard this before: "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond." -Charles R. Swindoll
When it comes to financial freedom, the advice sounds simple:
- Spend less than you earn
- Don’t use credit for things you can’t pay off
- Save or invest 10–20% of your income
- Pause before big purchases
Simple—but not easy.
Why is it so hard? Scripture gives us the answer: self-control. Most of us, myself included, struggle here. We want what we want, and we want it now. Waiting feels uncomfortable, especially as income grows and temptation grows with it.
Giving in can cost more than money. It can cost peace, time, relationships, and even our health.
Let’s commit to doing the work all year long—not just when the year feels new.
If you’re realizing you could use support staying consistent, I’d love to walk alongside you. I’m hosting a free coaching session on February 4th, where we’ll talk through practical steps and realistic habits you can carry throughout the year.
Reflection Question:
Which area of my finances do I need God’s help to practice more self-control?
Prayer of the Week:
Dear God, show me where I need greater self-control. I trust You to help me grow in these areas because I cannot do it on my own. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Have a great week!
