Life Coaching Moment – Client Question: What do I do when I can’t take action?

(I am beginning a series on Client Questions.  I receive questions from clients regularly and realized that you might have the same question as well.  Feel free to send me your own questions! Click here for the form.)

Question:
My next action step has, for some reason, been really tough. I know what I want, but it seems like I am holding myself back and it also feels like I am a little stuck ~ not sure where to go next, or what the next step is.

(Side Note:  This client has been working actively toward creating the life of her dreams for a few months.  She has taken many actions steps — even ones that have been quite scary.  While my answer was with her in mind, it can apply to any action step you are feeling stuck around — even if it is simply taking your first step!)

>When we feel stuck around an action step, it is usually due to one or more of the following:

• You have begun to feel “too good” and have reached your joy celling.
• You are feeling “too bad” and your vibe is too low to take an action.
• You are more of a “dreamer” and taking real action steps that take you forward are hard to figure out.
• The step is too big and needs to be broken down.
• You aren’t truly believing in your dream.
