What To Do if You Feel "Stuck"

When you feel stuck, your mind and body tell you that something needs to change. Change can be subtle. Change can be drastic. It depends on where you want to go and how much this “stuck” feeling is bothering you. I hate feeling stuck, so when I feel it, I choose to be more aggressive toward “fixing it.” Some people patiently sit back and allow it to pass. There is power in being patient. There is power in being aggressive. Use your discernment.

Step One: Move Your Body

Feeling stuck could be your body telling you to get moving. I recommend adding a one-hour walk daily to support this. Now, if you walk for an hour and are on your phone the entire time, you could create more stress, anxiety, and worry because, honestly, what are you looking at on your phone? If you want music, fine. Put on a playlist and start walking without touching the phone every minute. I strongly recommend not using the phone and going for a one-hour walk so you can hear your thoughts.

Step Two: Take Action

If you want to go out on a date with her, ask. If you need more money, apply for jobs or start something. If you have anxiety about a test, study. If you are going through a breakup, stay in connection with good people. If you feel stuck at work, maybe you need to switch careers, our offices, or locations ( situation dependent). If you feel stuck, take action. Any little action, especially a positive one, can yield massive results for what you want.

Step Three: Use The Free Tools

If you feel “stuck,” something must come out of you. Your situation differs from everyone else 's, so you need to tune into what you need. However, free tools are available to you, like walking, resting, praying, meditation, dancing, singing, exercising, and talking with loved ones. Use these tools to move energy. It’s time to release.

Bonus: You need to laugh. If you have the moment to go to a comedy show, do it. If you have a friend who you can crack jokes with, do it. If you can access funny movies or shows, watch them. The best, of course, is being with others who you can laugh with. Laughing will release the energy, too.
