"Momentum is the impetus gained by a moving object. It is not only an aspect of physics, it is also a feature of human experience that is often overlooked, underrecognized, and as a result, underutilized. Many of us strive for change that heightens our happiness and sense of fulfillment. Making change, however, is not easy. Once patterns are set, they resist being altered; we develop habits of living that do not allow for change without considerable effort and discipline. Often, we look to motivation as the exclusive means to change. Motivation is the why of change. Momentum is the how." - Keith Fadelici LCSW Momenta is the plural of momentum. In psychology, momentum can be defined as a driving power or strength. Dr. Brie Marion believes that this power and strength can be accessed from a number of lenses.
