This really resonated with me. I left a job I loved and hated, last December. Two months before, I stopped by a church before work. I sat in the quiet and I made a list of “deal breakers.” I thought, if any of these things happen, I will walk away. When I left, I thought, “hmm, and it wasn’t anything on my list that caused me to leave.” About a month later, I reviewed my list… all of it had happened. So, my new rule to live by, “If you feel like you need to make a list of deal breakers, it’s already time to walk away.”
I am excited to see your new collection! It’s a great thing when we can unstick the dams we build in our minds.
Sarah! So so smart. First seeking some heavenly help/peace and then what a profound thought: “If you have to make a list of deal breakers, it’s already time to walk away”. I’m going to think about that.
What people don’t realize is that there a two new collections. One you’ll see next month, and the other you’ll see next year 🩷🥴😴
I definitely struggle with myself over sunk cost fallacy. “I’ve done all this work, I have to make it happen!” (The irony is, I’m great at encouraging others to cut their losses!) I have a tendency of either go hard or go home, and I have to check in with myself when I want to “go home”: is it because it’s hard? Is it because it’s unfamiliar? Or is it because it’s not working and I need to step back? Sometimes I find myself pulling back from things I actually want to do, because the inertia of getting started has me stuck. But a walk always helps. Or good music. Or a cup of tea and some time with the dog. 💕
Oh goodness, I’m also a very big or go home gal. Which has led to serious exhaustion 😵💫. I have to get better at little by little. Tiny bites every day.
I think most things no matter what require a big step back, and often my pride gets in the way. The step back/ or the things we do to reset can be a lovely antidote. You’re always onto something good 🩷🩷🩷
