Summary
Why do you keep quitting on the things that matter most to you? We've all been there: excited about a new goal or project, only to give up after a few setbacks or challenges. But why do we do it? If we're so committed in the beginning, what causes us to fall off track?
In today's episode, I dive into why you keep quitting, even when you deeply care about the goal. It's not because you're lazy or incapable, but because of how you think about the process and your beliefs about what's possible. I'll help you recognize the mindset and patterns that lead to quitting, and how to break free from them.
Join me this week to walk away with actionable insights on how to build better habits, stay committed, and shift your mindset so that you don't give up so easily. I'll also share how you can adjust your goals and expectations to make them more sustainable for the long haul. You are capable of achieving more than you think, but you have to change how you think about quitting first.

| 0:00.0 | What if I could teach you how to make sure that you never again quit on things that are important to you, that you want to make sure you see through to the end? |
| 0:09.8 | There's a reason why you keep quitting and it's not what you think. |
| 0:14.4 | And today, we're going to dive into it so that you can finish out all the important projects in your life. |
| 0:20.3 | This is better than happy. I'm Jody Moore. |
| 0:22.5 | Let's go. Welcome to Better Than Happy, the podcast where we transform our lives by transforming |
| 0:30.8 | ourselves. My name is Jody Moore. In the decade plus, I've been working with clients as a master certified coach, I've |
| 0:39.3 | helped tens of thousands of people to become empowered. And from empowered, the things that seemed |
| 0:44.9 | hard become trivial. And the things that seemed impossible become available. And suddenly a whole |
| 0:52.3 | new world of desire and possibility open up to you. And what do you do |
| 0:58.0 | with that? Well, that's the question. What will you do? Let's find out. Hey, everybody, welcome to the |
| 1:08.0 | podcast. Thank you for joining me today. So today we're going to talk about why we quit things, why we quit things and how to stop quitting the things that we want to keep going on. Now, the two areas where this comes up the most for most people is with relation to our money and our health, right? Those are the two areas where |
| 1:29.6 | we tend to quit. We quit on trying to eat better, going to the gym, moving our bodies, |
| 1:34.2 | whatever else is involved in you maintaining or improving your health. We quit on building our |
| 1:39.2 | businesses, posting content, doing marketing, job searching, saving money, investing money, whatever it is |
| 1:46.3 | that you're trying to do to meet your financial goals. Those are the two areas that comes up most |
| 1:49.9 | often. Sometimes it'll come up in our parenting, right? Maybe we have a really great strategy for |
| 1:55.3 | our kids in terms of chores and we're really organized and we're going to execute it. And this time, |
| 2:00.7 | we're going to hold them and this time we're going to |
| 2:01.0 | hold them accountable and then how long does that last? Not as long as most of us wish it did |
| 2:06.7 | and then we quit or any other number of habits you're trying to execute, reading more, watching |
| 2:12.0 | less TV, going to bed earlier, right? All of these things that are little things in the beginning, but add up to big |
| 2:20.8 | results sometimes in our lives. And I love the saying, I don't know who first said it, |
