This Question Helps Me Get Unstuck
Unexpectedly, I had a free day.
It was a blessing, as I had grown overloaded with things I wanted to do, learn, figure out, fix, and address. Some work changes had created a sudden pressure to start moving toward a new goal, and I wanted to get moving fast.
However, my focus and energy were totally scattered as I tried to navigate how to approach the new day.
As my attention bounced between various action lists on my computer, another list I kept in my monthly planner, and various sticky notes on my desk, I stumbled across something I had written down months ago that made me pause.
It told me exactly what to do next.
The person I want to become
My next step was not an action, but a question.
I need to ask myself something that would direct my next move.
How will the person I want to become handle what I need to do next?
Well. That put my day to an immediate halt.
I had a vague idea of who I wanted to become… but it still felt fuzzy to me. the “how”. The “why”. The “ultimate goal” I was after.
