Summary

One of my happy places is a nice, warm shower. I enjoy it so much that I hate to ever step out, can you relate? But since I can't live my life from there...or the couch, or my cozy bed...I've had to master the art of creating momentum. In this episode I give you a very simple physics lesson, not to confuse you but to help you realize that the reasons you're feeling stuck are literally science! Our goal is to create the tiniest bit of momentum that will truly carry us through our tasks and days in ways that fulfill us and don't deplete us. But what if you already know this about momentum, and you likely do, but still find yourself stuck at certain points of your day and your life? I have five very straightforward tips to create just enough energy in the moments you need it most. Rest assured you do not need to use every one, every time. Take only what you need from these tips, and see how they really apply to me from cleaning, to work emails, to exercise and, of course, showering, as well as a Progressor call-in that we can all relate to.
