You’re ready to throw in the towel, but you feel torn. You think, “I want to quit” but that seems terrible. What does that say about you if you just walk away? Torturous thoughts creep in like leaving is a huge sign of weakness. Or that you don’t have what it takes to stick with something. But what if that urge to walk away isn’t a weakness at all? What if it’s your inner wisdom trying to get your attention? Quitter Is the Wrong Label Labeling yourself a quitter might not be valid. Sometimes a situation simply isn’t a good fit, or the timing is off. The opportunity might not be for your highest good, and perhaps something better is waiting once you become available. But how do you know the difference? Here’s the honest answer – it depends. No blanket statement works for every situation. This is a place where trusting yourself and your inner knowing is essential. Think about if you’re the kind of person who is always chasing the newest thing, abandoning what you’re working on for the latest shiny object. That might be a sign to hang in a bit longer and give what you’re doing a fair shake. On the other hand, maybe you’re the type who holds on longer than makes sense because of security, loyalty, or a sense of duty. Perhaps you have fear about letting go. You have plenty of stick-to-itiveness, maybe too much for your own good. Sticking with something and seeing it through does build a sense of certainty that you gave it a fair shot. It can develop strength and follow-through. Yet, sometimes you need to leave because a better opportunity is waiting. It could be one you’ll miss if you stay too long in a place that isn’t right for you. Questions Worth Asking Before making the call to stay or go, take time to reflect and ask yourself: Have I really given this my all?Do I want to quit because I’m bored?Do I want to leave because I fear it won’t work out?Am I recognizing a pattern that’s worth examining?Did I just lose steam on this idea?Am I hitting my head against a wall and need to walk away?Am I being stubborn and hanging in there because I don’t know what else to do?Is this situation eroding my self-confidence and making me feel smaller? Your answers will tell you a great deal. And when you’ve tried everything, talked to experts, friends, family, and adjusted your approach, but things still aren’t moving forward, that’s important information. It can be a sign that what you’re working on is out of alignment with your highest good, no matter how much you want it to work. This could apply to a job, a business idea, a relationship, a course, or even a habit you’ve been trying to build. When your gut is telling you clearly and consistently that something isn’t working, it’s worth listening. Real-Life Examples of Conscious Quitting The Landmark Seminar Years ago, I completed the EST training, now called Landmark, a two-weekend personal development workshop. Afterward, I joined an 8–10 week seminar with my cousin to continue the work. Each week we’d gather to collaborate on a long-term group project. The problem? A lot of people stopped showing up. And instead of focusing on the work, the group leaders spent most of every 90-minute meeting scolding the people who were there about the people who weren’t. The leadership had taken their eyes off the ball, and nothing was getting accomplished. By the sixth week, my intuition was screaming at me to stop wasting my time. So, I left. The following week, members of the group called me a quitter. My cousin defended me and then quit herself since it all seemed ridiculous. Was I a quitter? No. I left because the group hadn’t kept its commitment to the participants. Leaving was the right call. Two Decades of Coaching I’ve tried a variety of coaching niches over the years, from dating coaching, marketing coaching, life coaching, and the most recent – intuitive coaching. I stuck with dating coaching the longest, over 20 years, with genuine success and many positive milestones. But with the other niches, my inner knowing consistently nudged me to move on when nothing was clicking. It would show up as a pit in my stomach, or an intuitive sense that things weren’t headed in the right direction. Most of those ideas simply didn’t fly, so I dropped them. Does that make me a quitter? Or does that make me a smart businesswoman who chose to cut her losses and try something new? I’d argue it’s the latter every time. How to Trust Your Inner Wisdom The only reliable way to navigate the stay-or-go question is to look within. Beyond the reflection questions suggested above, you can also try sitting quietly for a few minutes of stillness and ask yourself sincerely “Is it for my highest good to stay with this situation?” Then really listen and pay attention to what comes to you. Some answers arrive as a clear sense of knowing. Others show up as a feeling in your body, such as tension, relief, heaviness, or lightness. ...
