When Life Is Stalling, Your Habits Are to Blame
Life isn’t just a series of random events.
It’s a series of habits.
And those habits?
They’re what shape the life you’re experiencing right now.
Think about it.
Every day, you wake up and follow a routine. Whether you realise it or not.
You respond to situations in a certain way, react to challenges with the same patterns and make decisions based on what feels familiar. It’s all automatic. These habits are running the show.
And if you’re standing at a crossroads in life, trying to figure out what’s next, whether that’s after redundancy, retirement, divorce or returning to work, you need to ask yourself: Are my habits helping me move forward or are they keeping me stuck?
The Way You Do Anything Is The Way You Do Everything
A very wise man once said this to me, and honestly, it stuck. Because it’s true.
If you always doubt yourself before making a decision, you’ll probably do that in every area of your life. If you constantly put everyone else’s needs before your own, that pattern will show up everywhere. If you tell yourself you’re not confident, you’ll act that way—whether it’s in work, relationships or new opportunities.
So, if you want things to change, it starts with the habits you choose to keep. The ones that shape your mindset, your confidence and, ultimately, your future.
This is exactly what I work on with my clients. They come to me feeling unsure, lost or overwhelmed. And while they might think they need a massive life overhaul, the truth is, they just need to start making small changes which together are very powerful.
So, how do you do that?
How do you shift the habits that keep you stuck and start creating ones that work for you?
5 Powerful Habits To Help You Move Forward
Start Noticing Your Patterns
Pay attention to your daily routines. How you react to stress, how you talk to yourself and how you approach challenges. Awareness is the first step. You can’t change what you don’t see.
Reframe Your Self-Talk
Your mind believes what you tell it. If you’re constantly saying, “I can’t do this,” or “I’m not good enough,” guess what? You’ll act accordingly. Start catching those thoughts and flipping them into something useful. Instead of “I’m not confident,” try “I’m learning to trust myself.” It makes a difference.
Make Decisions From Your Future Self
When you’re at a crossroads, ask yourself: What would the confident, empowered version of me do? The one who has already stepped into the life she wants? Start making choices from that place, not from fear or self-doubt.
Take Small, Consistent Action
Massive change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the small things you do every day that add up. Want to be more confident? Start speaking up in small ways. Want to change careers? Set aside time each day to explore your options. Tiny steps lead to big results.
Surround Yourself With The Right People
You become like the people you spend the most time with. If you’re constantly around negativity or people who don’t support your growth, it’s going to hold you back. Find a community, a coach or a support system that lifts you up and reminds you of what’s possible.
You’re In Control Of Your Next Chapter
If you take one thing away from this, let it be this: You have more power than you realise.
Your habits are shaping your life right now. If you don’t like what you see, change them. Start small, stay consistent and don’t wait for the “perfect” moment. The best time to start is always now.
This is exactly what I help my clients with. Breaking free from the habits that keep them stuck and creating the ones that help them thrive. So, if you’re ready to take control of your next chapter, get in touch.
