Feeling stuck? Here are five steps to find what you’re neglecting (and why).
Is there any aspect of your work where the results you want seem persistently out of reach? Does it feel like your circumstances prevent your progress and even your best efforts don't seem to be making a difference? You're not alone.
Here’s the short insight: when results stall, it’s because something necessary is being neglected. And there’s a simple process you can follow to find what that neglected thing is and understand why you’re neglecting it. In this week’s post, I share five steps—an adapted version of the Immunity to Change model—to help you see how your own behavior contributes to your situation. It reveals what you’ve been protecting, what you’ve been avoiding, and the assumptions that keep those patterns in place. No heroics, no jargon—just a clear way to understand the block so you can choose better moves next.
Why read now (3–5 minutes):
-
Spot the specific behaviors that keep the problem in place.
-
Identify the good commitment your current behavior is designed to protect.
-
Turn “avoid X” thinking into a positive aspiration so you can take specific action.
