When You’re Feeling Stuck

Getting stuck happens. But lucky for us, we don't have to *stay* stuck.
Christi Hegstad October 12th, 2026

“I wrote a pep talk recently to myself on a bar napkin: ‘No matter which road you take, it will be both glorious and unbearable.’ Every road is lonely. Every road, holy. The only error is not walking forth.” – Joy Sullivan

Clarity Kickstart:

Decision fatigue.

Analysis paralysis.

Overwhelm.

Burnout.

Any number of factors can cause us to feel stuck on the path to our goals. And when you’re an achiever who gains satisfaction from growth, forward movement, and checking meaningful tasks off the list, feeling stuck is one of the most baffling and depleting experiences.

This week, decide and take action.

If you’ve been with me any length of time, you’ve likely heard me use that phrase before. It’s one of my top Guiding Principles and has been for over a decade now.

If you’re feeling stuck on the way to your goal, even a small movement will help build momentum. Do your homework, conduct your due diligence, take in the necessary research.

Then, realizing that there is rarely only one right path, make your decision – then take an action in the direction of your decision.

Trust in your experience, in yourself, and in the fact that any decision will include ups and downs, pros and cons, highs and lows. You’ve navigated all that before, and you’ll do it again.

As the saying goes, don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good!
