How has the first half of 2022 been for you so far? Are you satisfied with the progress you've made toward your goals? Or do you feel like you're not making any progress? This episode is for those who are not satisfied with their progress over the past six months and are ready to make a change. Nikki explains why you may not have made progress toward your goals yet. In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses: Three reasons why you haven't progressed in 2022 after six months: Your commitment to your goals is lacking — you keep procrastinating, holding yourself back, and hesitating to take action. You keep looking for shortcuts. You're trying to do everything alone —there are a lot of things on your plate, and you don't ask for help. Tips to get and stay motivated so you can achieve your goals during the next half of the year. Memorable Quotes: "When it comes to our goals looking at the year or six months, you would be amazed at how much progress and change you can achieve in just a six-month time span of being fully committed. But unfortunately, so many people hesitate to fully commit. They look for reasons to quit. They look for reasons to hold off. They look for reasons to wait for a better time." "Reflect right now and ask yourself, have you fully committed to your goals and stop looking for reasons not to go all-in because all you're doing is holding yourself back from getting the results you want sooner." "If you fully commit and you go all in, challenge yourself, get uncomfortable, and push yourself to step into that new version of yourself, then you can get the results, and you can move and set another goal." "Shifting your mindset, establishing new habits, and balancing your hormones takes time, but it's a hundred percent worth it." "You have to realize everybody needs help. It is not a sign of weakness… By asking for help, you are maximizing your time, energy, and ability to get the results you want." "Push yourself. Challenge yourself. Learn what you need to learn. Address what you need to address. Get the results you want and step into this new, better version of yourself, your health, and your life."
