Notes as I prepare for what’s next

Terrie Power Coaching

...

I notice this pattern every year around this time.

Goals quietly fade out.
We tell ourselves we’ll just start over.
We look ahead to next year and think, “I should probably make this easier.”

Not because we don’t care.
But because we’re tired.
And because disappointment hurts.

So we lower the bar.
We focus on keeping everyone else happy as things shift around us.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, we lose touch with what we actually want.

Here’s the part that keeps catching my attention.

When we settle for what’s easier, we don’t just avoid risk or discomfort.
We miss the bigger dreams.
We miss the purpose that keeps tugging at us.
We miss the joy that comes from doing something that stretches us.

We also miss the chance to meet a version of ourselves we haven’t met yet.
To serve in ways we never expected.
To grow into something new.

That instinct to make things smaller shows up in more of us than we realize.
But sometimes it’s the very thing that keeps us from what actually matters.

That’s been on my mind as I think about the year ahead.

More soon.

Block every minute.Sacrifice more.Push harder. Everyone around me was nodding. I remember my chest tightening. And I had this quiet thought that stuck around longer than I expected. Maybe I just don’t want it badly enough. That thought followed me for years. Because I wanted to be disciplined. I showed up. I cared. I built things...

When stress shifts your momentum Terrie Power Coaching … The part no one notices at first This week almost slipped by without me realizing what was happening. Not because I was busy.Because I was drifting. The stress I’m carrying right now isn’t even business-related. It’s layered. Personal. Quiet. And it changed my momentum in a way that was almost invisible. I didn’t quit anything. I didn’t blow up my plans. I just slowly disconnected from them. That subtle shift is what most people miss....

support changes everything Terrie Power Coaching … I was scrolling this week and landed on a post about someone hiring a trainer. The comments stopped me. Things like, “Why can’t you just be strong enough to do it yourself?”Or, “How sad that you have to pay someone to hold you accountable.” I felt that familiar tightening in my chest. Not because the comments were new.But because I know how easily that voice sneaks into our own heads. This week, as I was trying to put new goals into place, I...
