Get unstuck – fast!
Monday, May 2, 2016
If you’re aiming for big change but finding yourself really, seriously, depressingly stuck there is one, surefire way to get moving:
Set fire to the tightrope.
Find some way to put pressure on yourself, to act [before the rope burns through!]
Here are some examples:
- Quit your job before you find another one
- Email everyone you know to say that if you don’t finish the course by the end of the year you will donate $2000 to charity
- Tell your boss you’d like to present a series of talks to the group: starting this Monday.
- Book [and pay for] a one-person-trip to South America
- Cut up all your credit cards.
If you’re sitting there on the tightrope, too scared to go forward, there’s a possibility you could end up sitting there forever. Seriously: f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
Light a fire [what form would your fire take?] and see what happens!
