There are situations in our lives that we know for sure it would be time to change or end. We know it would make life easier, less stressful. We know that this particular step would create space to feel happier and more at peace again. What is it that keeps us from taking that step?

Let’s assume it has nothing to do with leaving the comfort zone (which can be a reason in many cases). It could be feelings of obligation or guilt. Maybe we don’t want to disappoint someone or see the difficulty they would have if we made this change. Maybe, we don’t want to appear ungrateful because there are also many benefits to this situation that we very much appreciate. Perhaps, it is a sense of dependency that binds us.

Whatever it is, sometimes, even though we feel under pressure, we shake our heads, push our doubts under the rug, tell ourselves not to be a baby, and hang in there…

Maybe the pressure just isn’t big enough yet to take responsibility.
