Getting Unstuck

The first thing you notice about being stuck is that it’s about as satisfying as chasing your tail–it gets old fast and makes you dizzy. Typically it means that your mind has gone into a spin cycle where any new options are undone before you can even see where they might go. It’s like there is an internal toddler running the show saying, “I can’t, “it won’t ever change”, “I messed up”, or no, “I don’t want to”. It happens to the best of us and when it does, it’s the best in us we loose sight of.

Trying to ignore the whining of your dissatisfaction inadvertently leads shutting down the wiser part of yourself. Finally as you hit the wall of discomfort, an alarm sounds that change must occur. At this point it may feel like you have no other choice. The game just isn't fun any more.

So hit the pause button on the spin cycle for a moment and take a breath. You don't have to be stuck running in circles. The key is in knowing you have the ability to make choices BEFORE you hit the wall. Whether consciously or not, both the big and small choices you make everyday impact what you experience. Life doesn’t really just happen to you, it’s what you create. Once you get past truth of the cliché, it can be tremendously empowering. Begin noticing what your beliefs are and ask yourself if they are serving you? What do you want to choose instead?  What supports your happiness and fulfillment? I’ve heard it said that choice = responsibility = power. And that’s where life gets really interesting. You start looking at what's ahead instead of what’s behind you.

It is all about making choices and having the courage to make difficult decisions in life. Sometimes, people get stuck because they are afraid to go forward or to choose another direction in life. Everyone can make a choice and we are the one who molds our own lives.

I find your article inspiring, as I am currently in 'stuck mode' mired deep in my woes and not moving forward. I can only hope you inspire me to move forward. I don't lack for gifts from the universe, I just don't take advantage of them. Wish me luck!
