How to Get Unstuck. 3 Simple Tips
One of the top things that I get asked is “How did you move from San Francisco to Bali?”
My short answer: I packed my bags, flew out here and never left.
What I think most people mean is “How did you make such a huge shift in your life, career and physical environment? Outside of your comfort zone and away from everything and everyone you’ve ever known?”
In this video, I share the top reasons why we choose to stay stagnant and three tips that might be helpful if you’re considering making a significant life change too.
Cliffs Notes:
The reasons why we stay in status quo:
Sunk Cost Bias - we’ve already invested so much time into the careers we’ve worked hard for and relationships we’re in. It can seem like wasted effort having to start fresh again.
Change is hard - we are creatures of habit. It takes more energy to forge a new path than to just say on the one we’re currently on.
Uncertainty is scary! Many of us would rather stick with what we know instead of exploring what life could be like outside of our comfort zone.
3 Tips to Make a Shift in Your Life:
1. Write down a list of things that make you happy and reflect on which ones you can connect with on a regular basis.
2. Make a list of things that are draining you and weighing you down. Start eliminating what you can.
3. Explore what your core values are and evaluate which ones you’re in alignment with and which ones are missing.
