I felt like a total loser!
The things I wanted to accomplish were not happening for me.
Instead, I'd wake-up, burn through the day, pass out and then do it all over again.
I've lived a blessed life… healthy kids, great husband, fluffy dog, yada-yada.
But when I was in this funk, it felt like everyone was moving forward and I was wedged in cement.
Maybe this has happened to you. Maybe it’s happening right now.
But here’s the truth: getting stuck is a powerful gift.
Because getting unstuck is really about discovering what you need to live your best life.
When I devoted myself to getting unstuck, it changed my life and it will change yours too.
Here are the steps I took to get unstuck. You can do them all or just choose one to do consistently.
Circle of Life
A great starting point, the Circle of Life shows all the major areas that balance your life. Using the link above, it takes about 5 seconds to map how satisfied you are in those areas. Pinpoint one or two of your weakest areas and write down three actions you can start implementing over the next week to feel more balance there.
Change your food
When you change your food, everything else changes with it. So feed yourself whole, unprocessed foods. Focus on green leafy vegetables and lots of water.
Wake up an hour early
No one wants to do this but it’s the quickest way to get unstuck. People always say they don’t have time to do the things that motivate them, like workout, meditate or write.
But they do, we all do, and it’s in the hours before we wake up.
There is inspiration and clarity in those early morning hours that is almost impossible to get back after 8 am, says Hal Elrod, author of Miracle Morning (Read this, it will totally motivate you!)
Get out of your comfort zone
Shake things up! Join a club, go mountain biking, take a belly dancing class..just get out and do something outside your predictable routine. Nothing changes by doing the same thing every day. You need to take the first step. The rest will follow.
