Ever feel like you’re stuck? Can’t get out of a specific relationship. You can’t leave your job. You can’t start a specific project. Well, you’re not alone. Getting stuck can be caused by lots of factors. For me, its fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of losing security, fear of recognizing that my fear isn’t even legit after all. Aside from overcoming the fear, below I’ve listed some ways I get myself un-stuck. Hopefully they work for you too:
Get started. Book needs to be read, taxes need to be filed, or paper needs to be written; whatever the project, just start it.
Stop multitasking. Tough to focus on getting 1 project done when you are concerned with 10. Simplify. Channel your energy. Focus on 1.
Focus on one thing for a specific period of time. 4 minutes. 4 hours. Whatever floats your boat. Most importantly, you’ve contributed something, always better than nothing.
Sit in a quiet environment. Find peace. Find your space. Quiet is nice. Nice is quiet.
Don’t focus on finishing focus on the process.
Celebrate the small accomplishments. Pat yourself on the back when you do something right, figure something out, or learn something interesting or new.
Find inspiration. Could be thru your work, music, or food. Get inspired, get to work.
If you have something to say say it.
Throw away the instructions. Don’t be so caught up in the don’t. Do. Go. Make. Create.
