You are in a process, which is better than not being in one
The initial inspiration is likely wearing off if you have hit an obstacle or feel defeated. The energy of the beginning is behind you, and the promise of the end feels far away and out of reach.
If you choose, you can practice being excited that you are in a process and let that boost your spirits. Being down is part of a non-linear process, and you might be down right now, yet it’s on your way to up.
Would you be willing to appreciate yourself for being on a journey when many others never leave the safety of the known?
