How to start unsticking the perceived stuckness
One of the hardest things in life is feeling stuck in a situation that we don’t like and want to change. We may have exhausted ourselves trying to figure out how to make change, and we may even have given up. However, each day offers us an opportunity to renew our resolve and to declare to the universe that we are ready for change.
We may even do a face to face in the mirror, saying out loud that we have tried and struggled and have not found a way, but that we are open to help, and that we intend to keep working to create change for ourselves. (Hello God, are you listening???)
Making this declaration and really feeling it in the pit of our stomachs may be just the remedy for starting to remove the stagnation we have been experiencing.
For longer that I want to admit I was stuck in the cycle of angst as to wanting to move out of Los Angeles and not being able to create a plan. I cried blue tears to anyone who would listen. I know I annoyed my friends with my continuous diatribe but what was worse was that I was annoying myself and becoming more unhappy each time I told this boring story.
I finally took hold of some of the tools for inner growth I have shared with my clients as to what to do at the fork of the road. Taking pause as to how I had created this behavior of making a declaration then not doing my homework that would lead me to a comfortable solution in this case I gave myself a Moonstuck-slap and with my brand new big girl panties I did snap out of it and have kept moving up ever since.
It takes introspection to appreciate how the choices we have made in the past have added up to our current situation, but once you “get it” then it is a good idea to examine the story we tell ourselves now.
We have the power to change the story we continue to tell ourselves HOWEVER, keep in the front of your mind that your story originates from the past. Where we go from right here/right now into the future is by acknowledging those things where we have done our ‘best’ and vow to keep making them a new BEST.
As we exhibit many positive qualities in ourselves on a daily basis it’s very important to always take time to acknowledge them; to integrate them into our soul and keep building on them to eventually supercede the negative things that have always seemed easier to store up. Remember that we have had many fine moments on our path to the present and that this new learned behavior of thinking more optimistically will lend to being a huge catalyst as we cultivate our current choices always imagining something better.
Our beautiful, wonderful, behaviorally, obedient mind will only recite back to you what you have told it to do so the caveat is that since you are in charge of shifting that way of thinking into a new way of being, if you so choose be mindful what you tell yourself.
Grasp and hold tight to this little bit of reality… no one can make you think any way you don’t want to think. Ergo, start thinking with a fresh new perspective coming from the eyes and heart of a child in wonder that has no filter other than to do what feels right at the time.
1. Luxuriate in giving yourself permission to follow your dream and imagine something better.
2. No one can tell you anything otherwise and even if they try don’t let them!
3. Practice walking into the light of who you are as your authentic self throughout the day.
4. Give yourself one pity party over an issue that has caused you discomfort and then send it away. Repeating the same gnarly ukky stuff all day or week long doesn’t serve you or the people around you…boring!!
5. If we tend to regard ourselves as having failed, this will block our ability in allowing forward movement.
6. Practice being better. Being bolder. Being more optimistic. Being more lovingly realistic. Being all that you every intended yourself to be!
