Get Unstuck
So many
people have been talking about
being stuck! Stuck on marketing...
finishing a class assignment...
handling
details...setting up a financial budget...
creating a schedule that works...or in an
unfulfilling
(and even dreadful) relationship.
Rush Limbaugh said, "Being stuck is a
position few of us like. We want
something new but cannot let go of the
old - old ideas, beliefs, habits, even
thoughts. We are out of contact
with our
own genius. Sometimes we know we are
stuck; sometimes we don't. In both
cases we have to DO
something."
You see, inaction
causes anxiety.
Yet when planning action remember
this: When you drive down the road and
get
stuck in mud you don't get out and
move along the same path. Otherwise
you are soaked in mud
again. Albert
Einstein explained, "You can not solve
a problem from the same consciousness
that created it. You must learn to see
the world anew." Take a new route!
Come from a new perception.
To stay out of the mud and move in a
direction that revitalizes you:
~ Define the obstacle- What is at the
source of your stuckness?
~ Take action to resolve it- Fill the gap
between the source and
the end result.
~ Focus on the ideal end
result- Keep
your eyes on the prize.
Einstein also declared, "If I had 20 days
to solve a problem, I would take 19 days
to
define it." So what is the source of the
obstacle?
Here are a few examples with
tips to make a shift.
If
you are stuck because you are:
Unsure of what to do- Gather more
information.
Seek advice from someone
who knows.
Not wanting to do it- Delegate it to
someone whose
good at it. If you have to
do it, do it first thing in the morning. Get
it behind you. Focus on completion
and
the results you want.
Overwhelmed- Choose the small part
you CAN do (even if a
rediculously tiny
step). Begin!
Fearful- Is it legitimate? Is it something
you really
want to do? Put your courage
to work. Know how great you will feel for
having the gumption to address your
fear
while gaining knowledge and experience.
Battling an old thought
pattern or
habit that is not serving you- Shift it!
You have the power to change it to
something
positive and encouraging that
will support you to take action. EX-
Shifting self talk, going to bed earlier or
eating better so you have the energy, etc.
No matter what the obstacle remember
the aim (the ideal
end result). The
Wright Brothers did not learn how to put
a plane in the air by focusing on being
stuck on
the ground. Ships were not
built by focusing on how to make
something sink. Define the obstacle and
move
into action with great focus on what
you want to accomplish and how great
that feels. Allow that to become the
magnet to advance you forward.
Inaction creates
anxiety. So when you
are stuck move into action whether it is
gathering more information, asking for
advice, shifting a mind set or habit,
moving through fear, or taking small
steps you know you CAN do! What will
you do today to tap into your genius, be
in action, and take a new route in a way
that is revitalizing? It's
time to DO
something! And let us know what works

As we continue to be unlimited
