My Story
Movement. Somedays I just don't have it. But that's ok! The beautiful part about momentum is that it is not a linear path. Lots of hills, curvy turns, and spooky neighborhoods. This is where I like to remind myself, we are all going through it!
Becoming a mom really shifted what the definition of momentum meant for me. I came home from the hospital with this beautiful baby girl and chaos hit. The feedings, the changing of the diapers, the sleep schedule; momentum was not the priority, and then one day it was. It all started to move differently.
Remember a time in your life where momentum came later. Not judgement here Fam. Just roll with it!
How to Keep Your Momentum Going: Insights from Personal Experience
Momentum – it's a term we all hear about often, especially when it comes to achieving goals and staying motivated. But what does it actually mean in real, everyday terms? As someone who's no stranger to falling off track, I've learned that momentum isn’t just about constant forward motion. It's about the small victories, the reflections, and yes, even the setbacks along the way.
So, how do I keep my momentum going? Let’s dive into it!
What is Momentum, and How Do You Keep It Going?
At its core, momentum requires movement. But what does movement look like for you? For some, it might be tuning into an inspiring podcast or watching a motivational speech. For others, it could be reading a quote that resonates deeply, sparking an inner fire to take action.
For me, it’s about looking back at what I’ve accomplished. Whether big or small, every win plays an important role in my journey. These accomplishments—whether it’s what I’ve achieved today, this week, this month, or even over the years—serve as the fuel that keeps me moving forward. They remind me of how far I’ve come, even when it feels like I’m not making progress.
The Role of Setbacks in Building Momentum
Let’s be honest: momentum isn’t always a straight path. Life happens, and sometimes we fall off track. But here’s the thing: those moments are part of the momentum too. They provide an opportunity for reflection, for gratitude, and for recognizing how much effort you’ve already put in to get to where you are.
Falling off track isn’t a sign of failure—it’s just another part of the process. It’s in those moments of pause that we can find clarity and renew our drive. Those setbacks remind me to appreciate my journey and all the hard work I’ve invested in reaching my goals.
The Power of Gratitude and Support
One of the most powerful ways I keep my momentum going is by connecting with others. Today, as I sat down to write this post, I reached out to people in my life to learn about their own strategies for maintaining momentum. The answers were insightful and uplifting, and they reinforced the idea that we're all in this together.
Your support—whether it’s a simple word of encouragement, a shared experience, or just a moment of understanding—keeps me grounded, humble, and incredibly grateful. And that gratitude fuels my drive to keep moving forward, no matter what.
Final Thoughts: Keep Moving, Even When You Feel Stuck
In the end, momentum is more than just a constant push forward. It’s the balance of accomplishments, reflections, setbacks, and gratitude. It’s the understanding that we’re not always meant to be in a state of perfect progress; sometimes, we need to pause, appreciate how far we’ve come, and then get back up to continue our journey.
Remember, momentum isn’t about perfection. It’s about movement. So, keep moving forward, no matter how small the steps may seem. And when you fall off track, use it as a moment to reflect and appreciate how much you’ve already accomplished.
Here’s to keeping the ball rolling friend!
