How to Go from Stuck to Unstuck

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a rut? A routine? A pattern that you can’t seem to break? Do you keep getting results you DON’T want, with no idea how to begin generating results you DO want?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, perhaps it's time to explore the reasons why. With some simple self-exploration you can?pinpoint the areas of your life that need to change.?It may require you to leave your comfort zone, but in the end there is little question that your decision will be worth the discomfort.

It's also important for you to build an action plan. If you stay organized and follow a simple plan of action step by step,?there will be nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals.

Here are some ideas that can get you on your way to getting unstuck:

1.?Ask yourself some tough questions- and answer honestly.?The first step is to figure out why you're feeling stuck in the first place. Without an honest assessment of your current beliefs about what is happening in your life,?you will continue to be stuck where you are.?Think about the following questions:

• What specifically is happening in my life that I want to, have to, MUST change?
• What do I believe about my ability to create the change I want in my life?
• If I don’t believe I have the power to create that change, what is creating that belief? Is it based on facts? Or is it based on perception? Or someone else’s opinion?
• What if the negative things I believe about myself aren’t accurate? What possibilities does that open up for me?
• What would I attempt to do if I believed in my talents, skills, and abilities to create a life I love? If there were no perceived barriers or limitations other than natural law, where would I be 1 year from now? 5 years? End of my life?
• Who do I know and trust in my life that could be a mirror for me, who knows me well enough to tell me honestly about what they see as potential in me?

2.?Begin Setting Specific Goals.?Start with just 2 or 3 of the most important goals you have. You don’t have to have the whole pathway figured out. In fact, it’s not even realistic to attempt that! Because if you think you have to map out every step between where you are and where you want to go, you’ll overwhelm yourself with frustration about the unknown, and you’ll stay stuck where you are! Start with just one or two actions YOU KNOW YOU CAN TAKE that will move you in that direction. Once you’ve achieved those baby steps, take one or two more. Repeat, repeat, repeat. You don’t have to swing for the fences every single time you’re at bat…base hits will score runs too, you know.

3.?You May be Afraid, But Do It Anyway.?Being afraid of change is one of the biggest reasons why you get?stuck?in the first place. Perhaps you're feeling trapped in your job and, in order to get the job you'd like, you have to go back to college. You need to get over your fear and see what you need to do to apply. And the only way to get over your fear is to confront it. You’ve heard the phrase, ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’, or ‘everything you want is on the other side of your fear.’ Both are accurate. Both are empowering. Apply both, and your life will transform.
