It's Time to Get Off The Struggle Bus {4.08.26}

from The Goal Getter Guide with Jen Laffin · host Jen Laffin

Struggle is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It's human, it's biological, and yes — even I get caught in it sometimes too. In this episode, I get honest about the moment I realized I'd been making choices that were keeping me in a state of "almost there," and what it took to decide it was finally time to get off the struggle bus.The primal brain is wired to keep you stuck — not to be difficult, but to keep you safe and comfortableStaying stuck in the struggle is a choice, even when it doesn't feel like oneGood planning without follow-through is still stagnation — and recognizing that gap is part of the workThe moment of clarity doesn't arrive with all the answers. It arrives with a decision: is the discomfort of staying stuck now greater than the discomfort of moving forward?You don't need to know exactly what's next to start making different choicesReleasing what's comfortable and known is uncomfortable — and also kind of funThe struggle bus does not have a lock on the door. You can get off it any time you decide to.Thank you for listening!
