You feel like a victim to your circumstances.
As one of my life coaches suggests, to get unstuck, you’ll want to
step outside of your current frame of mind, shift your thinking, and
gain a new perspective. You won’t feel stuck once you reclaim ownership
over the situation.
Here are the 9 ways to get unstuck and move your life forward.
Pinpoint Why You Feel Stuck
Get clear on where you’re stuck and why you feel this way. Do you
feel stuck in your job? Why? Are you stuck in your social life or in a
relationship? See how well you can identify more exactly where you are
stuck and what’s happening for you in this area that you feel stuck in.
See if you can explore it in a deeper way. Just this simple step can
bring a lot more clarity on the situation.
Hire a Life Coach
A life coach specializes in helping you to move forward. Oftentimes
when we are stuck, we have a blindspot. By definition, we can’t see our
blindspot no matter how much work we do, until someone else shows it to
us. A life coach is the perfect person to help you pinpoint what is
keeping you stuck. You’ll get an outsider’s perspective on what you’re
not seeing. A life coach is an expert on finding new ways to move your
life forward.
Journal
Spend at least 15 minutes journaling about it. Write down: why you
feel stuck, what opportunities are available to you to move forward,
what hasn’t been working, what new ideas you might try, and so forth.
Ask yourself some pointed questions. You might be surprised at what
comes up.
Meditate
Spend at least 10 minutes really meditating on it. Let the issue
you’re feeling stuck on sit in the background of your meditation, while
new ideas and new perspectives enter the foreground of your mind. Hold
the sense of “stuckness” loosely in your mind (without being attached to
it), and become conscious of new ways you might view the situation.
Ask People Close to You
Again, when you feel stuck, oftentimes you just need a new
perspective or a shift in your thinking. And this can be difficult to do
alone. If you can’t afford a life coach, ask your best friend what they
think. Talk to your sibling or a family member, see what your closest
co-workers think, ask God (if that’s someone you talk to).
Do Some Research
Like many things, you can just Google it. Consider how specifically
or generally you want to search for whatever it is that you’re feeling
stuck on. Maybe you need to find new strategies and new tactics to reach
your goals. Maybe you’ll find an article where the author was in a very
similar situation, or you might come across a forum discussion about
the specific area that you’re feeling stuck in.
Brainstorm
Start brainstorming new ways that you can get you what you want. For
example, if your goal is to have a very popular blog but you’re
struggling to gain traction, start brainstorming some new ways that you
can increase your blog’s popularity. Make a list of every idea that
comes to mind without judging it, even if it’s the worst idea ever.
After your “brain dump”, you can go back and revise your list. Let some
fresh ideas come to you.
Talk to Your Most Successful Friend or Acquaintance
Ask him or her what they think of your situation and what they would
do if they were in it. Be open to feedback and get some input. You might
be surprised to hear their view of your position and how they would
move forward in it.
Try Something New
Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results. The message? Try doing something new,
even if it’s small. Getting unstuck is all about taking some baby steps
to start moving forward again towards what you want. So take the first
step.
