223. Where Are You Sitting on a Nail?

  • Summary

  • Are you sitting on a nail and not changing due to the fear of the discomfort of removing that nail?

    Discomfort, pain, and struggle feel familiar to most of us. We may not notice we are sitting on a nail. If we do, we are often so accustomed to discomfort we stay on the nail anyway. Transition and pivots, ie gettign of the nail are even more uncomfortable, even when they ultimately offer more freedom and space.

    Things often have to get SO bad before we are willing “give in” and change. What if we aren’t "giving in" or giving up when we decide to get off a nail. What if we are giving ourselves permission to finally act in alignment with our core values.

    Who would you be, could you be, if you stopped sitting on so many nails?

    Some common thought patterns and beliefs that keep you sitting on nails:

    • Scarcity mindset

    • Not valuing yourself or your happiness. The belief that you don't deserve to have a comfortable pain-free life.

    • The belief that being uncomfortable is a badge of honor

    • Lack of boundaries

    • Fear of change, the what if, or making a mistake

    • Fear of judgment or being seen as " - "

    • So used to discomfort and pain we don’t notice the discomfort of the nail

    • Believing that struggling and suffering and hard are valuable
