Michael Mashkevich woke from a coma and realized he didn't want his old life back. Feeling stuck isn't always a problem to fix, he says, but a sign you've outgrown something. He encourages identifying what no longer fits.
I survived a coma just to realize I hated the life I was trying to get back to. So this is your, your 1-minute life shift. So after my injury, I kept telling myself recovery is returning back to who I was, back to normal, right? I got the same career, same routines, same version of me. So I forced myself back into life that no longer felt right because I thought that's what strength really is, being Being who I was. I realized something along the way. Sometimes the reason you feel stuck isn't because you're broken. No, it's because you've outgrown the life you've been trying to force yourself back into. You are you. You can't force something onto you, right? Healing didn't come from who I used to be, right? It came from finally being honest about who I was becoming. So what's in your life that doesn't fit Walking side by side.
