Just one step could change everything…

Mainly, YOU!

Have you ever felt stuck? I sure have. From my personal experience, there is no worse feeling than that of being stuck. Nothing is more discouraging than feeling trapped in a situation with no way out. And the worst part is, the longer you stay there, the harder it seems to get yourself out. The more you avoid taking action, the more impossible it feels to actually do what it is you would like to do. Feeling stuck can turn paralyzing.

The good news is, that we are never truly stuck, and certainly not forever.

The better news is, we can have an impact in our seemingly challenging situations. We can turn from our own worst enemy to our best ally, and it may not be as difficult as we think.

So how do we begin to take back our power in situations that feel like they have power over us? From my experience, it all starts with one step. One simple step is the start to walking away from a place of entrapment, and into a place of freedom.

One step can be the catalyst that launches into the change we so desperately hope for.

Sign up for one fitness class, and show up. Make one phone call to a friend, and tell them what you’re really dealing with. Read the first chapter of a book. Send your resume to one new job posting. Reach out to someone you aspire to be like and ask how he/she got to be there. Make the first appointment.

The “I can’t”s and “I’m not”s can not survive when you are actively taking action against them.

The power of one step lies not necessarily in the immediate outcome, but the overwhelming change in mindset, that changes us.

The shift of mindset from impossible, to possible. From feeling hopeless, to hopeful. From ‘out there’ to tangible. From sitting stagnant, paralyzed by fear and anxiety, to moving forward, empowered in your own ability to take action and create change in your life.

So wherever you are today, what is one step you can take to a better you? Don’t wait, do it. You got this!
