3 Things That Keep Us Stuck

?MCC & CPRW | Empowering Tech Industry Leaders Who See Things Differently?
One of the things I address with clients is what box they’re in. There are three different categories that I realize factor into how we become stuck or get ourselves unstuck. The first box that seems to impede progress would be the?box of buildings. Part of my background is a study of ecopsychology and looking at our relationship with the rest of the earth and how we care for ourselves. So, if we’re feeling stuck, part of what we can do is get grounded and even go for a walk outside.
The other box that I typically look at is the?boxes of expectations?and?routines, by walking outside we can typically disrupt our routine so that we can look at things from a fresh perspective. Sometimes it can be a matter of recognizing we may no longer be a morning person.
The third box is the?box of expectations. When I started this practice about 10 years ago, it had a lot to do with other people’s expectations and how that weighs on us. Over the years I have come to realize the expectations we have for ourselves can also weigh heavy on us.
When we address those aspects of what has us stuck, we can break ourselves free because?once we recognize what is holding us back, we can then free ourselves.
