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 for you by commenting below.
