56 | Stop Stalling: How to Show Up in the Best Way, Even When It's Not Your Preferred Way
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever given up on something completely just because you couldn’t do it exactly how you planned? In this episode, I ask: What if the way you wanted things to happen is actually limiting what’s possible for you right now? I share real moments from my own life, group coaching, and even missed meetings, how waiting for perfect timing almost kept me from moving forward, and how changing my mindset opened up everything. If you’ve ever thought, “If I can’t do it my way, I might as well not do it at all,” this conversation is for you. There are ways to show up that you haven’t considered, and one shift can break years of waiting.
Topics Discussed:
- The danger of turning preferences into requirements (and how it keeps us stuck)
- How to make progress when you only have a fraction of the time or energy you planned
- The silent impact of shame, frustration, and all-or-nothing thinking on your confidence
- Specific stories: missed workouts, dissertation deadlines, and rescheduled meetings
- Inviting God into imperfect plans and discovering new ways to move forward
- Reframing disappointment into faithful participation, not perfection
- Actionable reflection questions to reset your outlook in work, relationships, spiritual life, and more
Remember: Progress doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances, but on your willingness to participate with what you have.
This week's affirmation:
"I release my attachment to how things should happen and remain open to what is still possible. I honor progress, trust God's timing, and move forward with what I have."
