That's why you have to decide.

Enough is enough.

Change begins with a decision.

And in Kristen's case, she has to decide that she's going to stop giving more time to her ex.

I mean, it's been years now that she's given to this relationship that's over.

The life that she keeps reaching for no longer exists.

She has to turn toward the future and make a decision that she is going to move forward and she is going to do whatever it takes to create a life where she's happy.

And the reason why I'm hammering the power of making a decision as the singular solution to the problem is

of being trapped, feeling not ready, feeling regretful, focusing on the past, convincing yourself actively that even if you tried to move forward, you'd never be as happy as you used to be.

It's complete BS.

The decision is what sets you free.

It will give you something to build toward.

And that is what will break you free from the trap of not being ready.

All right, this feels like a good moment to hit the pause button because I can hear the wheels turning as you're absorbing all this information and thinking about yourself and the people that you love.

And don't go anywhere.

After we hear a word from our amazing sponsors, you and I are digging deeper into these three traps that keep you stuck and more importantly, what you can do about it.

So stay with me.

Welcome back.

It's your friend Mel Robbins.

Today, you and I are talking about the three traps that keep you stuck, how to break free from these traps, get unstuck, and move forward in your life.
