I don’t want to be stuck anymore…
I know I deserve better. I just don't know how to get out of here.
I think we feel stuck because we’re clenching on, holding tightly, and white-knuckling something that’s no longer aligned with where we’re going.

At least, that’s been the case in my experience throughout all of my lives.
I’ve felt stuck in relationships, clinging onto the idea of that person or the vision I once had for a future with them. Walk away.
I’ve felt stuck in jobs, white-knuckling what once felt comfortable even though I was drowning in discomfort. Change the channel.
I’ve felt stuck in mindsets, repeating old stories and recycling thought patterns that kept me on a hamster wheel, unable to move forward. Mute.
I don’t know where you’re stuck right now but I do know, for a fact, there is a way out and a way forward. The thing I go back to every single time is vision.
Again, I’m not talking about houses and cars - it’s bigger than that. It’s releasing all of the old things:
The what-ifs, the shoulds, the beliefs, and the inherited ideas that aren’t even yours. Let it go.
Instead, I want you to daydream.
Close your eyes and exhale; breathe out releasing everything that currently is with your breath.
Grab a piece of paper or your notebook and I want you to write out where you feel stuck. What in your current life makes you sad? What or who is causing you to feel unworthy? What must shift?
