Description

Welcome back to Say It Plain With Michael Maxwell: Chaos to Clarity.

Ever started something strong—health, money, relationships, routines—only to slip, then feel like you had to start over from scratch?

This episode is about the one mindset shift that breaks that cycle:

Resume. Don’t reset.

I share my own real-life “cake spiral,” how I pulled myself back, and why progress isn’t about perfection—but about picking up where you left off.

We also talk discipline (or lack of it), tools that help when willpower fails, and how to avoid the negativity spiral (especially in online groups).

In this episode:

• Why “all-or-nothing” thinking keeps you stuck
• How to recover from a slip without shame or quitting
• Why momentum matters more than perfection
• Simple tools for staying on track (even if you’re not “disciplined”)
• How to protect your mindset from negativity while you’re trying to improve

Takeaway: Don’t restart your life because you had one bad day. Resume.
