You’re Not Stuck. You’re Just Scared to Choose Wrong.

A simple shift to help you move forward without needing absolute certainty.

You say you’re stuck.
You say you’re still figuring it out.
You say you’re not sure what the right next step is.

But deep down, you already know what you’re done with.
You’ve outgrown something: a role, a rhythm, a version of yourself and you feel it every day.

What’s keeping you stuck isn’t confusion.
It’s fear.

Fear of wasting time.
Fear of choosing wrong.
Fear of leaving something “secure” and ending up with regret.

Why This Fear Is So Loud

High-functioning professionals are taught to optimize.
To get things right. To reduce risk. To succeed with precision.

So when a decision doesn’t come with guarantees, you freeze.
You stay in the loop:
Thinking. Re-analyzing. Re-checking.

But clarity doesn’t come from obsessing over outcomes.
It comes from movement.

A Simple Framework: Try → Learn → Adjust

Think of your next step like a test, not a verdict.

1. Try
   Make the next best move based on what you know now
   (not what you hope to know later)

2. Learn
   Notice how you feel doing it
   (energy, clarity, tension, relief)

3. Adjust
   Use that data to refine
   (shift your approach, not your self-worth)

You don’t need to get it right.
You just need to get closer.

A Small Action to Try This Week

Pick one thing you’ve been stuck on.
Instead of solving it, test it.

• Book the call

• Send the message

• Start the draft

• Apply even if you’re unsure

• Say no to the thing that drains you

Make movement the metric, not the outcome.
Let experience inform clarity.

What to carry into your week

You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do.
You’re stuck because you think the next move needs to be perfect.

It doesn’t.
It just needs to be yours.

See you next Wednesday,
Devieka
