Why you're actually stuck
So often, we confuse movement with "taking ground."
Like you're trying to run a race in storm, but are so busy dodging downed branches and fixating on the squelching in your shoes that you veer off the main path...away from the finish line.
You're moving, but you're not getting to where you need to be.
Most of the time, not taking ground isn't from lacking motivation; it's because we’re overloaded.
We get caught in these spinning cycles—overthinking a single decision or a specific dilemma—and that one little tangle ends up killing our momentum.
Here's a quick way to audit your current "stuck" spot:
Ask yourself: “Is the thing I’m laboring over right now actually a pivot point, or am I just using it as a place to hide from the next big step?”
And then take action accordingly.
If you need help overcoming the sensory overload of your squelching shoes so you get back on track, I’d love to help.
My "Pick-My-Brain" sessions are great for getting an unbiased view on the things that are weighing you down right now, like:
- That one "should I or shouldn't I?" question.
- What blind spots are holding you back.
- Whether your habits are carrying you toward—or away from—the future you want.
This isn't a long, intensive commitment. It's not more overload to put on top of your already-mountainous-overload.
It's a quick surgical strike to help you cut away the bindings on one particular issue that has you stuck, so you can take the next right step.
I'd love to hear—what’s the one big question or dilemma that's been tangling up your momentum lately?
Love doing life with you,
Dawn
