You Don’t Need More Time—You Need a Trigger
What to do when you’re overthinking but under-moving
You’ve been thinking about this decision for a while now.
It pops up when you’re falling asleep.
When you’re folding laundry.
When someone asks, “How are you really doing?” and you pause too long before answering.
You say you need more time.
To figure things out.
To feel ready.
To make sure it’s the “right” move.
But deep down?
You’re not out of time.
You’re out of trust.
And more time won’t fix that.
The Trap: You believe clarity will show up without your participation.
You’ve been waiting for:
A sign
A shift
A push
A feeling
But decisions aren’t downloads.
They’re activations.
And if you keep waiting for a sign from the universe…you’ll miss the signal inside.
You don’t need another reason to move.
You need a trigger that reminds you why staying stuck is no longer an option.
The Shift: Time doesn’t build clarity. Action does.
We’re taught to believe time heals.
But sometimes, time just deepens the loop.
The clarity you want?
It lives on the other side of the choice you keep postponing.
Not a massive leap.
Not a reckless shift.
But a small, intentional interruption to your old pattern.
That’s what a trigger does.
It breaks the loop.
And gives your truth a door to walk through.
Try This:
Choose your trigger:
A date (“If I’m still spiraling on this by Friday, I’ll move.”)
A feeling (“If I feel this drained again, that’s my signal.”)
A truth (“If I keep shrinking in this space, it’s no longer a maybe—it’s a no.”)
Then commit to it.
Let the trigger become your turning point.
Not because you’re fully confident.
But because you’re finally clear on what you can’t keep doing.
