Everyone has times in their life when they ought to admit defeat.Cry mercy.Whether it’s in your love life, how you handle your money, how you handle friendships, or something else, there really is a point at which you should do yourself a favor and admit you’ve hit a wall. We’ve seen this in everyone we’ve coached.If you have an area in your life where something just isn’t working and you’re at your wits end, it’s time (and OK!) to admit you’re in a purgatory of sorts. Wave the white flag. But not on yourself…On your pattern.You see, there’s a reason you’re feeling so stuck – it’s because you’re in a repeat pattern and you need to break it. When you find yourself in a familiar situation and you start to feel that inkling of déjà vu, start paying attention. The first thoughts you may notice are the same predic(k)able ones you always think when things aren’t going right: I keep failing. I’ll never get the career I want. I never get the person I want. I never...and on and on. If you can start to see there’s something screwy about how you keep doing the same thing over and over, then it’s time to break this pattern you’re perpetuating. So instead of running into the same wall, searching for the missing keys in the same drawer, the most important thing you should do when something in your life falls apart (again) is to stop. Stop doing the things you usually do. Stop thinking the things you usually think. Stop saying the things you normally say. Instead, go for it: Host a pity party. Scream mercy (literally). Get a white flag. Cry. Tantrum. This hosted tantrum is to help you recognize life’s “maybe it’s you” moments so that you can finally surrender...and in your yielding, find a way out...
