Are you settling? Would you rather be anywhere but here? Is your first instinct to run away? Is your career at a dead end? Is your relationship at a crossroad? Are you on a path that is going nowhere? Are you avoiding jumping out of fear? Do you lack motivation? Perhaps you don’t know where to start.
For some people, knowing what they want in life seems straightforward and uncomplicated. The answers are easy. Their path is clear and challenges are met in what appears to be one effortless accomplishment after another.
Other people can take a lifetime to figure out what they want. When you don’t know exactly what you want to be doing, planning for today, let alone the future, can feel totally overwhelming.
If you feel stuck, frustrated. or things aren’t moving forward in the way you want, you are not alone.
Sometimes, the root of the problem is good old-fashioned complacency. We get into our routines. We distract ourselves from the real issues. The couch is happy. The carbs are pacifying. And the 83rd binge-watching episode of The Walking Dead is soothing.
Ah…struck a chord?
When did you last push yourself out of your comfort zone?
I can’t blame you. Avoiding is easier. Hoping is easier. Complaining is easier. Going through the motions is easier. Doing what is comfortable is easier. And familiarity is easier. Not dealing with problems is much more simple, than compared to the challenges that comes with developing a life plan for positive change.
But for those of you who seek fulfillment, who want to do more, for those of you who are sick and tired of being sick and tired, the first step is deciding what you want and why you want it.
What’s your WHY? When you know WHY you do what you do, even the hardest of days has purpose. Knowing your WHY allows you to constantly practice bringing awareness back to yourself and being in alignment with what you really want. WHY keeps you focused, motivated and moving forward. Your WHY inspires you to continue when you don’t want to or when you don’t feel you can.
Therapy helps you find your WHY.
Grow. Persevere. Evolve.
