How you ever found yourself drifting and wondering how you might make your way through? Better yet, feeling mistreated and not sure how to bounce back from it? You are not alone. Whether it be jobs, relationships, or other situations, we often find ourselves waiting for heroes to show up, inappropriately believing that problems will subside or just “holding on” out of shame (e.g., concerned that people will mock our perceived lack of commitment).

Enjoy.
