Are you stuck, or is it really something else?

The month of January is over already – how did that happen? Time seems to be flying by more quickly than ever. You had great plans for yourself this year and are already feeling you are behind.  That somehow you are stuck and never going to change to get where you want to go.  Maybe there’s a better way to look at it, to give yourself a little grace and yet help you move forward. Here it is – you’re not stuck, you’re just between versions of yourself.

I know it doesn’t feel that way. It feels like you’re treading water. Like everyone else is moving forward and you’re… here. Again, after another year.

But that’s not what’s really happening – you are shedding an old skin. The one that kept you small and kept you comfortable. That said yes to everything except for what you actually wanted.

And, the new skin isn’t here yet. You can’t see it clearly, but it’s coming.

This messy middle part? It’s not a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign you are changing and change takes time.

So be patient with yourself. You’re not behind. You’re exactly where growth happens.

What if you stopped thinking of this as “stuck” and started calling it what it really is—becoming?

A mindset change is the first step to getting what you want and you have all the control over that…..
