Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly creates a new story for readers to tell themselves when they begin something new and run into boredom or frustration before they reach their desired outcomes.

New Orleans, LA – July 3, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “The In-Between Times,” in which Dr. Kelly offers a shift in perspective to keep excitement alive.

Dr. Kelly states, “If you are at all like me, I bet you love starting something new.” You get inspired to begin something and you feel charged up and raring to go!” She continues, “I’ve discovered in my work that we humans tend to love new beginnings. And, we also love getting to the finish line. But the in-between? Oh no. That’s the part we are not so fond of.”

“Now,” says Dr. Kelly as she proposes, “what if you could change your mind about the middle part and were to get excited to move beyond the beginning to the middle?” She asks, “What if you could convince yourself that this is where it starts to get really good, really juicy?” She surmises, “That just might help you continue to build momentum and stay highly motivated.”

According to Dr. Kelly, “Many people begin new projects, new diets, new jobs and launch into their adult lives at this time of year.” She elaborates, “College graduates are just stepping into their lives. Many may have secured jobs and are excited about getting started. And, let me not forget that wedding season is coming up and many couples are getting ready to start their lives together and build families. Now, that is one endeavor that requires long-term momentum and motivation! Marriage is pretty much all about the middle part.”

“New beginnings make us forget that most of our lives are about the challenging in-between times,” Dr. Kelly writes. She adds, “It is how we go about the daily small tasks that take us to our goals.” As a for instance, she writes, “If we are starting a diet for instance, we are gung-ho for a few days, maybe a week. Then slowly, boredom starts to set in. We start to focus on the tedium of the diet. We decide we’re not losing weight fast enough. We lose sight of why we started the diet. And we totally lose touch with the end result we wanted to achieve.”
