12 Things to do When You Feel Like Quitting

May 9, 2016

Sometimes you feel like quitting. It might be after a big win or before a huge challenge. Maybe progress is slow or the goal is out of sight.

Quitting is most tempting when pushing through matters most.

Success is taking one more step, again.

12 things to do when you feel like quitting:

  1. Think of someone who didn’t quit. My dad was the toughest man I ever knew. The grit in me lived in him first and in his father before him.
  2. Believe in your ability to learn, grow, and adapt. 
  3. Reflect on behaviors that aren’t serving you well. Quit what isn’t working. Focus on what is.
  4. Repeat behaviors that give you energy.
  5. Keep big goals in the back of your mind and next imperfect steps in the front of your mind.
  6. Think weeks not days, months not weeks, years not months.
  7. Think a little about how far you’ve come and a lot about what’s next.
  8. Focus more on process and less on result.
  9. Remember quitters you have known.
  10. Concentrate on something you can change.
  11. Take a break. Have some fun.
  12. Realize that your purpose has many expressions.

“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Walt Disney

You matter:

Your grit strengthens others.

You matter more than you think. When you quit, it makes others feel like quitting. 

Lighten up:

Energy spent beating yourself down sabotages progress.

Stop beating on yourself. You aren’t good at everything. Weakness in one area isn’t weakness in all areas. Compensate for weaknesses. Maximize strengths.
