560. Why You Keep Quitting

560. Why You Keep Quitting

Author: Jody Moore April 10, 2026 Duration: 30:28

Why do you keep quitting on the things that matter most to you? We've all been there: excited about a new goal or project, only to give up after a few setbacks or challenges. But why do we do it? If we're so committed in the beginning, what causes us to fall off track?

 

In today's episode, I dive into why you keep quitting, even when you deeply care about the goal. It's not because you're lazy or incapable, but because of how you think about the process and your beliefs about what's possible. I'll help you recognize the mindset and patterns that lead to quitting, and how to break free from them.

 

Join me this week to walk away with actionable insights on how to build better habits, stay committed, and shift your mindset so that you don't give up so easily. I'll also share how you can adjust your goals and expectations to make them more sustainable for the long haul. You are capable of achieving more than you think, but you have to change how you think about quitting first.

Hosted by Jody Moore, Better Than Happy explores a simple but profound idea: the pursuit of happiness might actually be limiting us from the richer, more purposeful lives we're designed for. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a grounded conversation about the tangible skills we need to navigate being human. Each episode digs into the real-world application of principles that touch on everything from personal relationships and physical health to managing emotions, building confidence, and even navigating entrepreneurship and finances. You'll hear practical tools and candid discussions that address the full spectrum of our experiences, all through a lens that thoughtfully integrates faith and spirituality. The aim is to move beyond just feeling good in the moment and toward building a life of authentic meaning and resilience. Tune in to this podcast for a fresh perspective that challenges conventional self-help narratives, offering actionable insights for taking your current situation, whatever it may be, and thoughtfully steering it toward what comes next.
