Morning Reset ·
Are you uncomfortable… or are you growing?
MORNING REFLECTION
First, for those who took me up on last week’s 7-Day No Snooze Challenge… how’s it going?
A few of you actually reached out and accepted the challenge, which I loved.
This week, I’ve been thinking about a word that I don’t believe gets enough acknowledgement or respect:
Momentum.
Momentum is one of those unseen energies that helps us move forward, grow, and continue becoming.
But something my first coach taught me years ago has always stuck with me.
When we experience a win or accomplish something we’ve been working toward, we have to be careful not to get a case of the…
“I-deserve-its.”
I deserve to take my foot off the gas.
I deserve to relax.
I deserve to reward myself. (with going out and buying myself a new of pair of shoes)
And yes, we should absolutely celebrate our wins.
But I’ve learned that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do after a win is double down.
Use confidence.
Use the energy.
Use the momentum.
Every time I’ve been disciplined enough to do that, the results have been profound.
So celebrate the win, but don’t be too quick to interrupt what’s already moving you forward.
Momentum deserves its flowers too.
JEFFREY’S WEEKLY INSIGHT
One thing I’ve learned about momentum is that eventually it’s going to take you somewhere unfamiliar.
And that’s usually where the real growth begins.
For me, creating videos and sharing more of myself publicly didn’t always feel natural.
Being vulnerable.
Sharing my thoughts.
Putting myself out there knowing people may agree, disagree, judge, or simply not care.
But the more I did it, the more comfortable I became with being uncomfortable.
And that’s where momentum started to build.
I’ve learned that when something feels unfamiliar, my first question shouldn’t always be:
“Should I stop?”
Sometimes the better question is:
“Is this uncomfortable because it’s wrong for me… or because I’m growing?”
There’s a big difference.
And sometimes we need someone outside of ourselves to help us see it.
Because the path toward becoming your best version isn’t always going to feel familiar.
If it did, you’d probably already be there.
A Simple Practice: Get Uncomfortable
Tonight, decide what time you’re waking up tomorrow.
Set your alarm.
And when it goes off…
Don’t negotiate. Get up.
Going somewhere alone.
Starting something you’ve been thinking about.
Then take one small step toward it this week.
Don’t worry about the outcome.
The practice is simply becoming more comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Because sometimes the next level of momentum is waiting on the other side of something you’ve been avoiding.
