How many of us start the new year off gung-ho? We set goals. We make promises. We tell ourselves: This is the year!

And then, real life shows up. We're sidelined, distracted, discouraged, and can't even remember our New Year's resolutions!

In this episode of the StableMinded Podcast, Lisa Pulliam names what many people experience by the second week of January, known as “Quitter’s Day” — the point when New Year’s resolutions lose steam and become a forgotten memory.

But instead of doubling down on willpower (or starting over with another list of fixes), Lisa offers a gentler, steadier invitation: move from resolution living to intentional living.

Resolutions are usually built on a burst of motivation. They are rarely built on a clear sense of purpose. When our plans fall apart, it is easy to feel discouraged, behind, or even ashamed.

Lisa encourages listeners to trade quick-fix motivation for a grounded process — one that grows stability over time through prayerful reflection, aligned priorities, and realistic goals.

After 18 years of practicing this in her own life, Lisa shares the framework that has become her “plumb line,” the personal planning resource and Bible-based mini-course she created called Equipped: Plan Life with Purpose, which you can find at StableMinded On Demand.
