Your Stuckness Is Serving You
Description
Join the waiting list for The Holistic Career Change Group Program
Feeling stuck in an endless cycle of excitement followed by procrastination in your career change journey? This episode reveals the hidden psychological mechanism keeping you trapped. We explore why your resistance to change isn't about laziness or poor time management—it's serving a deeper purpose you might not even recognize.
Every time you promise yourself this will be the week you make progress on your new career path, only to find yourself making excuses days later, you're experiencing an inner conflict between parts of yourself that want growth and parts that need safety. This tug-of-war consumes enormous energy, leaving you exhausted despite taking little action.
The solution isn't more willpower or better time management techniques. Instead, we need to uncover what emotional payoffs you're receiving from staying stuck. Are you protecting a familiar identity? Avoiding potential rejection? Meeting connection needs through current relationships? Once you identify these hidden benefits, you can find healthier ways to meet the same needs while still moving forward.
I share some journaling prompts to help you uncover your specific emotional payoffs and offer alternative strategies to meet those same needs in ways that support rather than hinder your growth:
- What specific aspects of your current situation feel most challenging or uncomfortable?
- How long has this pattern been present in your life?
- What previous attempts have you made to change this situation?
- How does staying in this situation reinforce your identity or how you see yourself?
- Are there any aligned choices your current situation gives you "permission" to make?
- How might your current situation be protecting you from something you fear?
- What might feel safer about remaining in discomfort than stepping into growth?
- How does your current situation connect you to important people in your life?
- What family or generational patterns might you be participating in through your current circumstances?
- What needs are being met through your current situation, where you remain 'stuck'?
- How can you meet those needs in alternative healthy ways?
