Title: Do You Feel
Stuck In Life? Use These Simple Ideas To Get Unstuck
Some time in life we come to
the realization that we have been doing the same humdrum things for ages and
yet we have made little or no progress and then we are hit with panic attack.
Usually this happens around
middle age when we think that we are supposed to have all that we need to be
alive while enjoying the fruits of our hard labour.
Such a feeling and the
realization of it leave us with a bitter taste in the mouth and we feel like we
have wasted our years and that it is too late now to head out or chart an
unknown territory - that is what it is like to feel "stuck in life".
Everyone who desires success
should have a great deal of clarity about what they need to achieve their desires, who they need
to be, where they need to be going to and all that; but it's not that easy.
Somewhere along the line, one
may be stranded at one particular spot for a long time or hit a dry spell over
a prolonged period of time, being at a loss and not knowing just exactly what
to do; at such times the person feels stuck and burnt out. Feeling like s/he is
in a pit, emotionally unempowered and unable to move forward.
Things could get worse,
especially if the person allows himself or herself to give in to the situation.
But I would that you rather not.
You have to learn to take a
critical look at the situation, get up again, get moving and build up some
momentum again.
So if you
are stuck at any point, here are some ideas on how to
resolve the impasse and get you unstuck and free again to pursue the life of
your dreams.
1. Recognize The
Situation And Accept It
The first step towards being
healed of any disease or ailment is to recognize that it is a disease or ailment
that needs to be treated.
This means that the person is
not living in denial, not rationalizing the situation or playing the blame
game.
The energy invested in
rationalizing and blaming every other person but ourselves could be channeled
into a productive venture which is finding the solution to the impasse
2. Get An Empowering
Mindset
When we are stuck at one place
and feel like there is no other way forward, we are being hard on ourselves.
When we blame ourselves
unceasingly for being the cause of the stagnation, that paralyzes us into
taking any steps to move forward again and this reinforces the negative forces
at play in our lives which are determined to keep us at one spot because we
have become victims of our own selves.
If you realize this, then it's
time to be upbeat about what you have learnt in the years before on the use of
positive mental attitude.
To break out of that limiting
mentality, try the substitution game.
For every negative thought that
comes to mind, remove it and replace it with a positive one.
For instance, instead of, “I
just can’t figure this out—I’m so stupid,” remove and replace it with, “I’m
ALWAYS supplied with a way through at just the right time.”
Affirmations like this will
keep you positive and put you back in the driver’s seat.
Keep at this hard because it is
relatively easy to do and you can gain traction quickly.
“Growth hacking is a mindset,
and those who have it will reap incredible gains.” – Ryan Holiday
3. Do Some Decluttering
(Housekeeping)
Take a second look at your
house or your office or even your head? How scattered are you? How littered is
the place? Do you have everything in its place or are files lying all over the
floor of the office including the chairs and tables too?
if you live alone, is the kitchen
sink overflowing with unwashed plates and pans? Do you throw your clothes all
over the house?
How about your head? Are you always in constant motion of thoughts, hardly
keeping a thought for longer than 5 seconds? Are you suffering from a flight of
ideas?
This is the time to start cleaning
up the house (house keeping) or the office (Decluttering) or even your head
(cleansing) and putting things in order.
Since these have to be done any
ways, there could be no better time to do them than the time when you are stuck
and not doing anything else.
More than that, however, it has
also been found that the process of simplifying and organizing your office or house
or head can be very empowering.
The very act of setting your
mind on “cleaning things up” clarifies your mind. It’s an outward expression of
something that changes your experience internally as well.
I’m of the opinion that if we
need direction in our lives, we need to make room for it. In this way, we
welcome that which we really need. By putting our work in order we prepare the
way for new ideas and inspiration.
4. Find Some Quick
Results To Encourage Yourself
No matter how stuck you are
there is always something you can do that will bring about a measurable result.
Even small victories help you
feel like you are gaining ground.
As you do this, keep these tips
in mind:
a. Set simple goals and breeze through them. Think of things you
can accomplish in five-to-ten minutes. As you complete them you will gain a
sense of momentum.
b. Make this a visual activity. I like to write each of my tasks
out and put a little box in front of them. Work to check each item off as
quickly as you can. It should be fun so treat it as a game, marking complete as
many as you can in an hour, for instance.
5. Get Back To
Doing What You Love
Each one of us has something
that s/he loves more than anything else in this world.
There is a hobby or game or
something that you love to do.
When you feel stuck in one
thing and ideas stop flowing towards that, get back to that which you love most
and which you are most at home with; refresh it again (assuming you have been
off it for a while) and then give all your energy and attention to it.
You will find out that It will bring
a refreshing sense of fun back into your life and get a sense of positivity flowing
again.
We have to keep a deep feeling
of joy with what we do.
Jump-starting that by getting
back into your element can get you on the road again.
“Let the beauty of what you
love be what you do.” – Rumi
6. Work On
Something New
Sometimes we just get bogged-down
and burned-out with what we are working on.
It becomes drudgery, but there
is always something related that we might not have begun to work on yet.
Maybe we didn’t feel ready or
we were just too invested in other things to take the turn down that road.
In times like this, pull those
things out and start working on them.
It could be a side project that
you left abandoned, it could be a task that you left unfinished, it could that
one time adventure you are yet to take, whatever it is, get cracking and have
it done.
If you just aren’t getting
anywhere in your normal routine, it could be the perfect time to break into
something else you’ve been holding off on for a long time.
