Do something!

As an evidence-based life and career coach, new clients often present to me in a state of crippling stagnation.

They tell me: I‘m stuck! And the more stuck I find myself, the less confident I feel to make a move, the more terrified I am to make the wrong move, and so the more stuck I become!

That feeling of being stuck, of not knowing how to get yourself out, is horrible. And it can be scary [what if I’m like this forever?!]

When I’m working with a client in this situation we work fast, to determine a definite and effective strategy to get them moving in a direction that will feel really good.

But in the meantime, before we have that plan in place, I encourage them to Just Do Something. ANYTHING!

And do you know what? It is INCREDIBLE just how often the person calls or emails me afterwards, brimming with excitement, and saying: Alex! You’ll never believe it but I just decided to call this person and they had so many ideas and they emailed someone for me and now I’m meeting with them and stuff just seems to be flowing again and I feel so much better and it’s incredible, it’s all so much better already!!

And of course, I can absolutely believe it. Because action invites opportunity.

So if you’re feeling stuck, try the Just Do Something strategy. Don’t overthink it, don’t worry about what will happen and whether this is the best use of your resources and what people will think and blahblahblah. Just Do Something.

And then see what happens.
