Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep setting goals I think I’m supposed to want, and the moment they get hard I just quit
• I’ve got this inspiring goal I actually want
• I’m completely unmotivated and I honestly can’t tell whether it’s that deep down I don’t believe I can pull this off, or that I just don’t care about it
• I get genuinely fired up about a goal and then keep falling at the exact same internal hurdle
