When you spend a year (or any season of life) worrying about what\u2019s next and wondering how you\u2019ll manage all the things you cannot control, you are likely to find yourself in exhausting cycles of fear and doubt.\xa0Then, to combat the worry and fear and doubt, you find ways to numb so that you may quiet the fear and the doubt.\xa0\nThis happens to us in the year after having a baby, the season after losing an important relationship, and certainly after a year of enduring a pandemic.\xa0\nThis leaves us feeling stuck as all get out - stuck in our heads, stuck in poor habits, and stuck in a life without much joy on the horizon.\xa0\nAt a certain point, you have to decide that you will stop staying stuck.\xa0You will take action to start moving forward. You will process the season you\u2019ve been in so that you may move forward with less fear, less doubt, and better coping skills.\xa0\nAlso, you will create joy.\xa0Because joy matters.\xa0Even when you\u2019re too tired to plan the joy, you need the joy.\xa0Create the joy, dammit.\xa0\nIn this episode, I\u2019ll walk you through 3 ways you are likely staying stuck right now and how to get unstuck.\xa0\nLinks mentioned:\nJoin us for the Shameless Mom Con Collective\n\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
