EP 154: Are You Choosing the Certainty of Misery?
Do you wake up in the morning with a deeply unsettled feeling that there's something more you should be doing? As you’re headed into work for the day, do you have the urge to turn the car around, but feel stuck by the fear of what might happen if you tried to change things?
Today, Blake explains why so many people who aren’t happy in their lives tend to choose the certainty of misery over the misery of uncertainty. This type of inaction leads people to stay in situations where they’re unfulfilled rather than choosing to create the change they so desperately need.
You’ll hear why people choose the certainty of misery, and what it is that makes us so uncomfortable with the unknown to begin with. She shares real-life examples of what it looks like to choose misery, and how finally letting go of your attachment to certainty allows you to open up to new opportunities for guidance.
It’s time to let go of the certainty of your misery and get the resources you need to create the change you want & need!
What You’ll Learn:
- Why we’re uncomfortable with uncertainty (1:53)
- How to know if you’re choosing the certainty of misery (3:17)
- What it means when you can’t solve a problem in 48 hours (4:47)
- The myth of a black and white approach to change (9:33)
- Identifying where you are on the path to change (13:22)
Favorite Quote:
- We as humans are so uncomfortable with the things that we don't know that we will literally stay in circumstances or situations that we know are making us miserable, that we know won't get us where we want to go for fear of what that unknown actually might be.
- Until we begin to [question whether what our brain is telling us is true or not], we're always going to be trapped in this cycle of believing that it's safer to be miserable than it is to actually create change in our lives.
Additional Resources:
Rather than hoping the grass will be greener, identify what the RIGHT next step is.
