139: What's Really Stopping You? Why You're Still Not Taking Action

About this episode

Debbie Harbec explores the deeper reasons behind why we hesitate to take action towards our goals and desires.

I’ve been asking myself a question lately, a question I'm used to asking others... ✨What’s actually stopping me? And it's not about the easy answers like being busy, or having a lot going on, or even not knowing the “best” way to do something… but the real reason underneath all of that. Because I’ve noticed how quickly my brain offers those explanations. But when I slow down, I can see that they’re also keeping me exactly where I am. And I know I'm not alone in that. We say we want something to change like more self-care, exercising again, eating better, and showing up differently in our lives. And yet, we don’t always move toward it. Not because we don’t care, but because something in us is hesitating. In this week’s podcast episode, I wanted to explore that a little more honestly. If you’ve been feeling a bit stuck, or like you’re circling the same patterns, I think this one will resonate. Keep moving forward with your unstoppable self, Debbie 💜 P.S.
