I have a friend who wants to end a relationship, but she can’t.
I have a friend who knows the person she is with isn’t good for her, but she can’t leave.
I have a friend who knows she doesn’t want to marry or be with the person she is with long term, but she can’t leave.
I know I’ve also been this friend. The person who says one thing, knowing full well what she deserves, but then when faced with the situation unable to do anything, but the same thing. Stay.
Why do we stay?
Because we don’t believe we can live anything better. We want better, but somewhere, deep down, we don’t feel we deserve better.
We say to ourselves, that life over there, well, we can’t have that kind of life.
But what’s wonderful is that we actually can.
So how do we start to believe that we deserve more? To be able to leave situations we know aren’t good for us?
Focus on the next right action.
What does that mean? It means that you have a choice. What is the next right action you can take to bring you closer to what you want.
What do you want?
To be in a healthy relationship.
What is the next right action you can take today, right now, to get there. (write down the steps you can take to get you closer to your goal)
What do you want?
To get promoted.
What is the next right action you can take today, right now, to get there.
What do you want?
To finish my book.
What is the next right action you can take today, right now, to get there.
TIP: These actions don’t have to be big. You walk into a restaurant and sit down in a draft and you’re cold. What do you want? To be warm. What’s the next right action you could take to help you? Ask to move tables or have them turn off the air …
So what do you want. And what’s your next right action. I’d love to hear about it in the comments below!
