Ep 095: How to Not Get Stuck on Why Something Happened

We all have things that happen in our career or lives that are unwanted. 

They're either unfair. Or unjust. Or in some way, they're just not welcome.

And when that happens, we have two choices.

We can either get stuck in why, ruminating on the unfairness or all the ways it doesn't make sense. 

Or, we can simply move on and focus on the things we want to do next.

Getting stuck in why can seem important. 

We can tell ourselves we have to understand it before we can move  on.

But here's what I want you to know.

Why it happened doesn't matter.

It happened.

The only thing that matters now is what you want to do about it.

What you want to do NOW or NEXT.

THAT is your point of power.

So in this episode, I share a case study from what one of my clients is experiencing right now in corporate America, how she's gotten a bit stuck and what I'm coaching her to do now so she can move forward with purpose into her next act.

This is something I believe we all struggle with on occasion in work and life. And if that's you right now I want you to know that I empathize. I feel for you.

And if you're someone who has a curious mind and finds themselves stuck in overthinking on why it happened or why if happened to you or why they did that or whatever...I encourage you to just stop.
