Breaks are a b*tch to come back from.

Motivation isn’t necessary when you’re in the groove of daily habits, but once you step away for a couple weeks, it can be daunting to get back on the horse.

But it doesn’t have to be.

I just spent the last two weeks honeymooning throughout Europe with my now-wife, and today is the first day I woke up in my own bed again.

Every part of my mind was screaming to me that I should “chill” today, but I have goals to achieve, and those goals aren’t going to achieve themselves now, are they?

Without missing a beat, here I am.

Here are the 4-steps I used to regain momentum after an extended break so I can get back to doing what I love and achieve my goals.

Step 1) Set goals.

Obviously!

If I didn’t have something I wanted to achieve then it would be pretty hard to convince myself I should get back to working towards it…actually, “it” doesn’t exist without setting goals for yourself.

Get clear on where you want to go, or you’ll be stuck in purgatory, aimless without direction.
