Three Tips To Get Unstuck

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, problems arise in your life and you feel stuck. When you're stuck you're unable to see a positive solution or outcome to your current struggle. With all the inner work I have done over the years, I'm always a bit incredulous when I get to a place of feeling stuck. I usually initially experience anger and frustration and think, "I've already dealt with this issue before and handled it, how is it back in my life again rearing its ugly head?".
The fact is breaking through fears and limiting beliefs is a lifelong process. You get stronger every time you become aware of your fears or old limiting beliefs and find the courage to move beyond them, but the truth is there is no endpoint to personal growth. Here are three tips to help you the next time you feel stuck:

1) Be grateful for your awareness.
You must become aware of what the problem truly is before you can work on changing it. So many people go through life unwilling to examine their lives in any honest way. Gaining awareness about what really is the problem requires a lot of self-honesty and is the first step toward changing and moving forward. If you are self-aware enough to notice that an area of your life is problematic, congratulate yourself on being able to identify the problem. Without your awareness of the problem, change and growth would be impossible.

2) Let go of what no longer serves you well.
Louise Hay is one of my favorite authors. Her book, "You Can Heal Your Life" contains many beautiful affirmations including the following:

"The past has no power over me because I am willing to learn to change. I see the past as necessary to bring me where I am today...I am willing to set myself free. " - Louise Hay

Understand that everything that has happened to you so far in your life, and every choice you've made, has made you the person you are today. Self-sabotaging feelings like guilt, blame, judgement and regret serve no other purpose than keeping you stuck and unhappy.

3) Take responsibility and action.
A good way to get unstuck is figuring out what action you can take to move beyond the pain of your current circumstances. Ask yourself, "What is my work to do?". One of the many falsehoods of feeling stuck is that you feel powerless to take action or impact your situation in any positive way. When you feel this way, remind yourself that this is not the truth. No matter how bleak or hopeless things look, you always have the power to make positive changes. When you take responsibility and action from a loving place, you will begin to move beyond your fear and see positive and accurate possibilities.
