Home and Place

When where you live no longer fits who you are.

What it looks like

When where you live no longer feels right.

Being stuck here often looks like staying somewhere that stopped fitting a while ago, telling yourself the move is too complicated to actually plan. Sometimes that’s true and the planning is the whole problem. Sometimes the place has become a stand-in for something else, and no move would fix it. Both are worth finding out before you decide.

Where to start

The techniques that help most here.

If you can’t tell whether the place itself is the real problem, step back with The Cloud. If the decision feels too big to move on, break it down with Morsels.

Common questions

Good to know.

Is this about a specific move, or just the feeling of being in the wrong place?

Start by finding out which one it is. Sometimes where you live really is the problem, and the answer is a move. Sometimes the feeling you’re carrying isn’t about geography at all, and moving won’t change it. The techniques here are for telling those apart before you spend a year planning the wrong thing.

What if moving isn’t realistic right now?

Morsels is built for that. It breaks something you can’t do yet into a next step you can take this week and lets that step teach you what comes after it.

Often, not always

What else this tends to bring up.

This isn’t about being similar. It’s about what shows up in the same season, in Bill’s experience. If more than one of these fits right now, that’s normal, not a sign you’re more stuck than usual.
