Getting to the Root of what is keeping you stuck

Fear of the Unknown. Uncertainty. Risk. Failure.

On the surface these are valid reasons for why we stay in relationships, jobs, and situations that keep us stuck and not moving forward.

It’s not as simple to say: “Get over it or Leave”.

We must get to the root of why we would rather stay bound than to break free from that which is holding us back.

Here are several root causes of why we choose to remain and stay stuck rather than moving forward

Playing not to lose, not trusting your own judgment, buying into the myth of better, sooner, faster, having a negative outlook on everything, and hanging on past the season of usefulness.

Playing Not to Lose

From a young age Our culture teaches us to avoid risk. Complete this checklist if you want to avoid loss but as life continues on, you realize that there is no set formula and checklist.

There comes a point that when we play it too safe and play not to lose…there is a good chance that we will end up losing anyway.

We see this happen in sports. The team who is playing to win has a much better chance of success than the team who is playing not to lose the game.
