#169: When Staying the Course is the Smartest Move

Last week, we talked about when changing course is the smartest move. This week, we’re flipping the script: what if the wisest thing you can do is stick with your original decision?

Sometimes staying the course feels boring, scary, or uncomfortable — which makes it easy to second guess yourself.

But discomfort isn’t always a signal that you’ve made the wrong choice.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through the signs that sticking with your decision is actually the smartest move.

Here's where we go:

  • Why high-achievers often equate progress with change (and how that trips us up)

  • The “messy middle” — what it is and how to recognize it

  • Signs your urge to quit is really coming from comparison, boredom, or catastrophizing

  • How to support yourself through doubt without re-opening the whole decision

Decisions don’t have to drain your energy. With the right tools, you can know when to pivot and when to press on.
