Is It Alignment, Or Is It Avoidance?
Manage episode 492702969 series 3327267
Have you ever found yourself repeatedly pushing a task to tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow again? That inner voice questioning if you're just being lazy, or if something deeper is at work? Today we're exploring a question I've been pondering for months: the subtle but crucial difference between alignment and avoidance.
While there's been a beautiful movement toward simplicity and ease in recent years (which I fully support!), sometimes we can confuse genuine misalignment with simple avoidance of challenging work. I share my recent experience with postponing follow-ups on opportunities that looked perfect on paper but something inside kept holding me back. This led me to develop a powerful diagnostic question that cuts through confusion.
And, as a special FREE bonus, I want to give you my "6 Journal Prompts To Coach Yourself To A Better Life In 6 Days!"
These prompts are perfect if you:
🎯 Feel lost in direction.
📉 Battle feelings of inadequacy or constant comparison.
😕 Experience restlessness.
📆 Find goal-setting or motivation challenging.
😐 Simply feel 'meh'.
Designed to dismantle obstacles, reshape your mindset, and cement unwavering confidence, these prompts are scarce gems in a sea of generic advice. 🚧🧠
