Do most days feel like a slog lately?
Still, you do what needs doing. You keep taking on responsibilities and carrying heavy obligations. Maybe it looks like aging parents, kids who still need you, relationships that are changing, money worries, a career in transition.
You keep smiling, hoping tomorrow will feel different.
It doesn't.
You've read the books (maybe some of mine).
So why does it feel like you're under a spell where nothing works anymore?
You know too much about how this stuff works to call it bad luck, so you call it laziness, or age, or a character flaw, and you add some guilt on top of the pile.
The trap for smart, capable people
The spell rests on a belief you've probably never questioned: if life isn't working, you must be doing something wrong.
So you reach for your problem-solving skills once again, because they've served you so well in the past.
Even the Law of Attraction becomes something to solve, with the books, the recordings, and the practices, all followed by the anxious check to see whether it's working yet.
Every time it isn't, you take it as proof you're doing it wrong. That's what keeps the spell in place.
I know this spell from the inside
After thirty years of coaching, a Ph.D. in social psychology, and books of my own on deciding and letting go, I found myself caught in it.
After a death in the family, I did what I've always done. I managed everyone else's crisis. I took on what nobody asked me to take on. I did it all with a clenched jaw, because I "had" to.
I knew better. But the pull of responsibility, the call to manage everything, is strong. For eighteen months, the harder I tried to make things better, the worse they got.
So I asked for help from an unlikely source, and what I learned was the last thing my problem-solving mind wanted to hear.
The one skill that undoes the others
The way out of the spell is to stop trying to get out.
Leaning in is how you let go.
Lean Into It tells the story of those eighteen months straight through, with the teaching woven into it. It's meant to be read in one sitting, and most people will. You'll learn:
- How to lean into exactly where you are, even when it's the last place you want to be
- Why following your obligations looks right from the outside, but only leads you deeper into the spell
- The difference between what you're in charge of and what you're not
- Why you've never been doing any of this alone, and what changes when you stop acting like you are
You've been managing your life the way a competent adult is supposed to: planning, protecting, being responsible.
But it's fear disguised as effort, and you're noticing that the tighter you grip, the more it burns.
If you're tired of pushing for the life you want and hitting wall after wall, grab your copy of Lean Into It.
Leaning in is how you let it come to you, and it's how the relief, the energy, and the fun find their way back.
