2023 is still young but believe me I already had one of these episodes and it was BRUTAL.
Everyone experiences feelings of being stuck in life at some point. Whether it's boredom, a lack of fulfillment, or simply feeling unproductive, this feeling can manifest in different areas of our lives such as our career, relationships, personal growth, and more. When we feel stuck, it can have a negative impact on our well-being and mental health. You know what I’m talking about right?
However, making a pivot in life can be a transformative experience, offering renewed energy and motivation, and improved overall well-being.

The Benefits of Making a Pivot
A pivot is a change in direction, approach, or strategy, and it can be applied in various areas of life. When we make a pivot, we have the opportunity to try new things, challenge ourselves, and gain a renewed sense of purpose. Making a pivot can lead to increased happiness, renewed energy, and motivation, and improved overall well-being. This can impact our relationships, career, personal growth, and more, offering a fresh perspective and a new outlook on life.
