530: Stop Staying Stuck In These 3 Ways
from Shameless Leadership · host Sara Dean
When you spend a year (or any season of life) worrying about what’s next and wondering how you’ll manage all the things you cannot control, you are likely to find yourself in exhausting cycles of fear and doubt. Then, to combat the worry and fear and doubt, you find ways to numb so that you may quiet the fear and the doubt. This happens to us in the year after having a baby, the season after losing an important relationship, and certainly after a year of enduring a pandemic. This leaves us feeling stuck as all get out - stuck in our heads, stuck in poor habits, and stuck in a life without much joy on the horizon. At a certain point, you have to decide that you will stop staying stuck. You will take action to start moving forward. You will process the season you’ve been in so that you may move forward with less fear, less doubt, and better coping skills. Also, you will create joy. Because joy matters. Even when you’re too tired to plan the joy, you need the joy. Create the joy, dammit. In this episode, I’ll walk you through 3 ways you are likely staying stuck right now and how to get unstuck.
