=============================================

Step back! Give yourself some space. When we are too close to a situation, we cannot see beyond the problem. When we are having difficulty seeing beyond our circumstance, it is time to step back.

Take a walk, read a book, talk to your coach, do anything that will give you a break and a different perspective. When we are too close to a situation, we cannot see all the possibilities. We cannot be unbiased because we are part of what is happening. The only way to gain a different perspective is to step back and view the situation from a different angle.

Coaching

Step back and give yourself a chance to view the situation from a different perspective. We are too close. We need to give ourselves the opportunity to step back and look at it from a different point of view. A break can support us in getting clearer on what is really happening and can allow us to see things in a different light.

When you are too close to a situation and you feel stuck, step back. Give yourself a break. Take a walk, a nap, read a book, or talk to someone that is not involved. Giving yourself time away from the situation can help you gain clarity.

Do you have a situation that you need to step back from?
