Staying Stuck vs Moving Forward: Doing the Hard Thing — Alyson and Tripp Lanier

Is it clear that something has to change, but you’re afraid to make a move?

How do you know when it’s time to throw in the towel?

And how does “hope” fuel anxiety and keep us stuck?

Whether it’s our business, a relationship, or whatever, we tend to stay stuck in a painful place because we don’t want to do the hard thing. Today, Alyson and I discuss why we avoid reality, how we can reclaim our power, and what we can ultimately do to allow peace of mind.

In this conversation:

  • Being afraid to make a big change
  • When is it time to throw in the towel?
  • The fear of admitting failure
  • How hope creates anxiety
  • “The end of a season”

Plus:

  • Avoiding the hard thing
  • Blaming and complaining vs taking action
  • Short-term comfort vs peace of mind
  • Medicating, numbing, avoiding, and coping
  • Part X, resistance and Phil Stutz
