Stepping Off Now: Lessons in the Art and Craft of Creativity

E37. How to Survive Periods of Inertia in a Transformation-Driven Life


Listen Later

You know that feeling of inertia we all get sometimes, when doing something, anything, to improve our lives just seems so hard? Maybe you're dealing with exhaustion and burnout, maybe it's fear that's holding you back. Or maybe you just have no idea what your next step could be. What do you do when you are in a period in your life when you're just kind of doing...nothing?

This episode is an appeal to see these periods of doing nothing as a valuable and necessary part of a transformation-driven life. Don't want to grow and change? That's fine! You are allowed to make that choice. But if you do seek growth that leads to fulfillment and yes! even happiness!, you'll want to hear what I have to say. I tell you how I've dealt with those periods of inertia in my own life, and how you can allow yourself to sink into them while still positioning yourself for growth.
