Do you know where you’re going? And what your next steps in life should be?
Or do you feel stuck?
Off balance?
Unable to find the clarity you need in order to move forward?
If so, trust me, I get.
As I wrote in my last blog I’ve been there many times myself.
Stuck in overwhelm.
Analysis paralysis.
Fear and self-doubt.
And lack of clarity.
So I’ve learned to be gentle with myself during those times.
No comparing myself to others.
Just more self-compassion.
And reaching out for help when I need it.
For example, recently I spoke to my own coach.
I told her I was confused about my future.
And where I wanted my coaching business to go.
What I wanted it to look like down the road.
She asked me some great questions (as coaches do)!
Questions that helped me to get crystal clear on what I wanted to do next.
Not long term.
But NEXT.
And that simple shift — from trying to figure out everything to just focusing on the next small step — helped me move through my overwhelm.
It quieted the noise in my head.
And all those ideas bouncing around.
All of the questions.
All the unnecessary tasks that were pulling me off course.
And away from where I saw my business going.
Instead I could focus on just ONE thing.
My next step.
Which I’ve learned is the key to getting unstuck and moving forward.
Taking ONE baby step.
One micro-step that you know you both can — and want to — do.
A small step that helps you take action…
AND build momentum.
Because when you’re feeling lost, clarity rarely comes from sitting and stewing about it.
Clarity comes from taking action.
From trying.
From taking gentle action, even when you’re unsure.
The more small, do-able steps you take — even if you have no idea where they’ll lead — the better you’ll feel.
And the clearer you’ll become.
About what works for you and what brings you joy.
And what doesn’t.
About the kind of future you imagine for yourself.
And the direction you want to go in life.
So if you’re feeling overwhelmed or lost right now, let me ask you what my coach asked me…
What’s one small do-able step you can take this week to move you forward?
Toward your dream or vision.
And then go do that.
Because once you do, the next step will appear.
And then the next.
And the next.
Cuz remember…
It’s all about the baby steps.
Each one moves you closer to where you want to go in life.
Step by baby step.
And if you want to ask yourself some good coach-like questions – like the ones my coach asked me, I created something to help:
