Dallas Bragg describes being "Tina stuck": knowing exactly what you need but unable to stop harmful patterns. He argues the first move is telling someone you're stuck and asking for help, not waiting until you're ready to change.
You know how when you're really high and you know you need water and you can see the water bottle, or you know where the water is, but you cannot move? You cannot stop scrolling or jacking or whatever it is you're doing. You cannot stop, but you can see it right there. That's being stuck. That's a Tina stuck. And that's representing your life right now. You can see who you want to be. You know you need to be that person. You know that future version of yourself is calling, but you can't stop what you're doing. You're stuck. If that's you, I want you to reach out to someone right now. Right now, pick up the phone, call them, and say, I'm stuck. That's the first step. Admit that you're stuck to someone. Get it out in the open. Something about that will get the wheels turning. You're moving the momentum. You're turning the Titanic. You're stopping the train. Every other fucking metaphor. Do something. Do something right now. Tell someone, I'm stuck. I need help.
