Sometimes we just feel stuck, as in unable to act. We are scared, unclear, confused or exhausted. We don’t know what to do and so we do nothing. And sometimes that pause is exactly what we need to let the dust settle so we can move forward more confidently.
Other times we stay stuck. We know there is a decision to be made but we just can’t. We simply refuse to deal with it. We move through life with it strapped to our back and it weighs us down. Why can’t I just decide?
I daresay we don’t have enough practice deciding what we really want. Most times we are clear about what we don’t want. But, what do you want? I mean, what do you want? For you? For your life? What do you want to do and how do you want to be? And what are you willing to do to get there?
You’ve got to be brave enough to decide what you really want. Claim it and make it yours. Write it down if that helps. You’ll know it’s your ‘thing’ by the way it makes you feel. There is a shift that happens when you align yourself with the right decisions for you. You’ll know it from the inside.
Once you know what you really want, you can be on your way. You can start by practicing saying ‘yes’ to what supports your desire and saying ‘no’ to what doesn’t. Get used to feeling good about either answer. Do it over and over again. Ask for help when you need it. Remind yourself of what you really want. Change it up if that feels right.
You may get what you want in an instant or it may take some time. The feeling of being on the way rather than feeling stuck makes all the difference.
Feeling good.
