👉One Reason We Get Stuck In A Rut | #shorts

When we make decisions based on how we feel right now and how we would prefer to feel right now, this can be a recipe for getting stuck.

Things that make us feel better instantly, tend to have a negative impact on us in the long term. For example, if I feel anxious about doing a presentation at school or work, the urge is to avoid it. If I decide to skip that meeting or class, I get an instant feeling of relief from my fear. But, when the need to present comes around again, my anxiety is likely to be even more intense.

A good alternative is trying to base our decisions on what is important to us instead. How we want to live, who we want to be. For example, if you want to be someone who builds confidence and lives life to the full, then skipping a presentation to avoid feeling anxious, might not fit with that set of values for you.
