How do you react when you are stuck?

stressWhen we are stuck and can’t see the way forward in any areas of our lives, we can either do two things:-

  1. Give up
  2. Open up

I have had many things happen in my life when I have felt exactly like this

and see many of my clients get into this situation.  This is where they actually find me, so that I can steer them into the right direction.

We are ignorant until we have the right information

A lot of my clients that I see are stuck because basically they don’t have the right information or knowledge to move forwards.  When we are in that “stuckness” place are heads are full of negative crap, we are blinded by the opportunities that are in front of us and the one thing that will move us forwards we have resistance.  We find excuses like, I don’t have the money, I don’t have time, I need to help other people.  What is your excuse?

When I see some of my clients and they say they are super busy that rings alarm bells for me and I normally ask them “what are you running from”.  We need to quieten down and take stock to really see the next steps.

Seven hot tips to get you unstuck now!

  1. Step away – stop what you are doing right now and take stock.  Step away from the current problem even if it is only for 5 minutes and breathe.  It’s ok!
  2. Ask for guidance/help – I see a lot of people not asking for help as this is a sign of failure.  Let me tell you straight, it’s not a sign of weakness it takes a courageous person to ask for help and plus it is a quicker way to your solution.
  3. Read a self-help book – some of the solutions that I need are right in front of me in a book.
  4. Walk in nature – go and take a few minutes to walk in nature.  This helps me when my head is full of babble, it helps me clear so that I can hear the next step.
  5. Focus on your achievements already – some of us forget how we got here, what a wonderful and amazing person we already are.  This will help you realise that you can move beyond this, you may have been in a similar situation before.
  6. Pamper yourself – do something physical for YOU!  Take a bath, buy yourself some flowers or make yourself a super healthy lunch.  This will immediately make you feel better and good about yourself.
  7. Write it down – go and get angry and write it down.  This helps you to get it out of your system and when we are writing it down it helps us to see where we can help ourselves.

And remember don’t do the things that you normally do!  Get out of your comfort zone as you will get better results.

Try my recipe above and let me know how you get on.  Remember, you are stuck because you don’t have the right information to move forwards and not because you are a failure.
