## Resource

How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/ This episode discusses something that's a lot harder to figure out than it sounds: knowing whether you're strategically quitting something or just running away from it. Because on the surface they look identical, but the difference between the two will determine whether you're setting yourself up or selling yourself short. If you've ever had the itch to leave a job, a relationship, school, or any kind of commitment the second it gets hard, this one is for you. Key Takeaways: Quitting and running away look identical on the outside but the difference lies in the why behind the decision Running away doesn't make the problem disappear, it just delays it and guarantees it shows up again There's a big difference between making a decision and having a reaction Staying somewhere longer than you want to can actually set you up for a much smoother transition into what's next Helpful Resources: How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.com Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
