Before You Quit, Remember This: The Emotional Cycle of Change
Every goal goes through 5 stages:Uninformed Optimism – “This will be easy!”Informed Pessimism – “This is harder than I thought.”Valley of Despair – “Is this even worth it?” (Most people quit here.)Informed Optimism – “This can work. I just need to keep going.”Success & Fulfillment – “I’m so glad I didn’t give up.”Understanding this cycle is a game changer.When you expect the dip, you don’t fear it.Reaction is pain.Anticipation is power.
