What is the Right Next Thing to Do

A simple, empowering tool to get unstuck and move forward

I do the right thing on purpose. I don’t do it by accident. -Herm Edwards

Sometimes when life feels like a mess, we don’t have to have a grand plan to move forward.

Or, we are ready to start something new, make a change, but we have no ideas or too many ideas. We are nowhere near ready to create a grand plan.

Either of these scenarios can be confusing, overwhelming, scary, exciting.

To the point of making us feel stuck.

Have you felt stuck lately? Not sure what to do next? Or, how to do it?

We all get stuck periodically.

Here is a tip on how to get unstuck and move forward. Ready? Just ask yourself….

What is the next right thing to do?

Pretty simple, huh?

We are often overwhelmed in today’s culture by too many choices, too many options, too much marketing, too much information, too much pressure from loved ones, too much busyness, and so on.

Sometimes, we think we need to know the next 10 steps, or even all the steps before we start.

But we move forward one step at a time.

We really only have to know the next right step. And, then the next right step.

Keep it simple. One step at a time.

If we get quiet and listen to our inner voice, our best self, our intuitive self, our heartfelt self, our passionate self, our inspired self…..we know exactly what the next right thing is.

You know it if you get quiet and listen. You have heard it. You have felt it. You have seen it. You never feel bad when you follow this voice. It will not lead you astray. When it speaks authentically, it feels right. You know this feeling. It feels good. It feels peaceful. It feels inspired. Trust it. Love it. Be it. Do it.

It just feels right.

I love this. I use it all the time.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. -heodore Roosevelt
