Are you in the wrong gear?
You’re a smart cookie, you’re clearly capable, you’ve got the qualifications, you know how to develop, implement, scale up. Getting shit done is what you know!
So why do things feel stuck now?
Because to get where you're going you need a different approach. Getting here required lots of doing, your hustle was hard but you don’t need to push anymore and in fact, if you keep doing so it just might tear things apart.
But you’ve been hustling for so long you don’t even know how to do things differently. Here’s a couple of things that might help you shift gears.
-Make a regular date in the calendar with yourself
Start scheduling time to just be. There’s no goal to hit here, nothing to achieve. It’s going to feel weird and you’ll be tempted to fill the time with something more productive, don’t! You can start with as little as 10 min every day and it’s best if it doesn’t involve a screen.
-Take a wrong turn
Get lost on purpose, remind yourself of your ability to solve problems and have a bit of fun in the process. Find a new way to get to the office/home/gym. Delete your browsing data so you have to remember the full web address next time (or ask someone for it) Leave your phone at home and figure out how to get through your day without it.
You already have all that you need to get to the next stop; you just need to slow down enough to switch gears.
If you’re getting stuck between gears, give me a shout. I can help you out.
