Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything "right" but somehow staying in the same place? No matter how hard you try, it feels like you’re on a treadmill—moving, but not making real progress.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because you’re stuck in what I call the Stagnation Cycle. It’s a cycle that traps even the most driven people, keeping them from achieving the growth, success, and transformation they desire.
But here’s the good news: You can break free. The first step is understanding the cycle you’re in.
What is the Stagnation Cycle?
The Stagnation Cycle is a self-repeating loop of habits, thoughts, and behaviors that keep you in the same place. Unlike growth, which moves you forward, stagnation holds you in a mental and physical standstill.
The cycle follows these four phases:
1️⃣ Satisfaction – You convince yourself that "this is good enough." Maybe your career is fine, your health is okay, or your relationships feel "comfortable." But deep down, you know you’re capable of more.
2️⃣ Standstill – Progress comes to a halt. You’re no longer pushing yourself, taking risks, or growing. Instead, you stay in your routine, and everything feels the same day after day.
3️⃣ Suffer – Frustration begins to set in. You feel stuck, and the weight of inaction starts to affect your mental well-being. Self-doubt creeps in, and you wonder if you’re ever going to break free.
4️⃣ Sequence – Without change, the cycle repeats. You find yourself back at "satisfaction," accepting "good enough" all over again, even though you know you deserve more.
If any of these phases feel familiar, you’re not alone. The Stagnation Cycle traps countless people, even high achievers, because it’s comfortable. And comfort, while it feels good in the short term, is the enemy of growth.
How Do You Break Free?
If you’re ready to stop spinning in circles and start moving forward, it’s time to break free from the Stagnation Cycle. The way to do that is by switching to a new cycle—The Reinvention Cycle.
The Reinvention Cycle: Your Path to Growth and Transformation
Unlike the Stagnation Cycle, the Reinvention Cycle creates continuous momentum, personal growth, and lasting change. Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Rewire – It all starts with your mindset. Your beliefs drive your actions, so if you believe you’re "not ready" or "not good enough," your actions will reflect that. To break the Stagnation Cycle, you must reprogram those beliefs, shifting your internal narrative from doubt to confidence.
2️⃣ Recommit – Promises to yourself are the most important commitments you can make. Once you’ve rewired your mind, it’s time to get crystal clear on your goals and make commitments to them. Write them down. Speak them out loud. Hold yourself to them as if your future depends on it—because it does.
3️⃣ Reinvent – Action creates clarity. You can’t "think" your way to transformation—you have to act. This phase is all about action, consistency, and follow-through. It’s about doing the work, whether that means training your body, committing to new habits, or taking the steps required to hit your goals.
4️⃣ Repeat – Growth isn’t a one-time event. Once you achieve one goal, it’s time to aim higher. You loop back through the cycle, starting with "rewire" to challenge your beliefs and push for something even bigger.
The more times you repeat this cycle, the stronger you become. Each time you move through the 4 phases, your confidence grows, your discipline strengthens, and you achieve more than you ever thought possible.
Signs You’re Ready for Reinvention
If you’re still wondering if it’s time for you to step into the Reinvention Cycle, ask yourself these questions:
Are you tired of feeling like you’re capable of more but not doing anything about it?
Do you feel "comfortable" but not challenged?
Are you frustrated with yourself for not following through on goals you’ve set?
Have you felt stuck in the same routines for weeks, months, or years?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it’s time to stop waiting for the "perfect moment" and start creating your own Major Life Event.
