Have Trouble with Follow Through? I’ve Got You!
Happy Tuesday!
Today’s questions is about follow through!
Q: “How do I overcome a lack of follow through with accomplishing my goals? I’ll start out great-and hen get stuck, spinning my wheels in the beginning stages of implementation. I want to get out of my own way! What can I do?”

A: Often times when we experience a lack of follow through, there are a few things that could be going on.
1) Your ‘why’ isn’t compelling enough.
The truth is, anytime we attempt to move towards something we have never done or had before, in the beginning it will feel foreign, hard or weird, even if deep down, we know we want it. But if your reason for it isn’t compelling enough, staying stuck is actually safer than pushing through a challenge, obstacle like ‘not enough time, etc.’ without that strong “why,” it’s hard to keep going when things become less than ideal which they never really are.
2) The goal (or the plan to implement) is too big.
Breaking things down into manageable steps that your brain and body can handle is essential. Ex: I’m going to clean out the garage today becomes…I’m going to remove anything from the bottom shelf in the garage that needs to go. Get support from a friend or a coach if it’s a huge dream or goal. Chucking gives you space to have small wins, which is important when doing anything new to keep momentum up!
3) Let go of perfection.
Doing something new means it’s not going to be perfect. Take imperfect action and give yourself permission to f–ck it up. If you are doing it with a pure heart and good intent, then even if you make a mistake, trust that the Universe will send you the info you need to correct it, revise or move through it. Stop letting yourself get held back by the need to prove something, do it perfectly or avoid judgement. You’ve got this!

When should you tell this to your date?
Happy Wednesday!
Today is Q+A time, where I take questions from you, the fabulous Goddess community.
Today’s question is about abstinence: “Dear Diana, I practice abstinence-plan to wait until marriage…and am wondering when is a good time to bring that up? Should I say it right on the first date or wait? Thanks!”
A: This is a great question and there is a balance between how much and what to share up front and what to wait to share, without wasting anyone’s time or withholding.
