Do you feel stuck like life is passing you by but you’re not getting anywhere?

This post is all about helping you get unstuck in life and finding your path.

Why Do I Feel Stuck?

Often our past experiences, especially through childhood, how we were raised, the people we were around, and who we surround ourselves with today all shape our beliefs and effect how we live.

Around 10 years ago that was me.

I felt helpless, unsatisfied, and fed up.

Helpless to make any improvements in my life because I simply didn’t realize I could.

Sounds ridiculous I know but in my mind, Life just was as it was and I never questioned it.

The problem with that was I said yes to things I shouldn’t have and no to opportunities I should have.

How to get Un-Stuck

Self-reflection and self-awareness are both really important in understanding the ways in which you feel stuck, and how you can go about changing them to free yourself from this feeling.

Grab a notebook, open notes on your phone or simply take a moment to ask yourself these questions:

The next step is to identify any limiting beliefs you have around those “stuck points”.

Once you have identified where in life you are feeling trapped or stuck, and what thoughts are keeping you there we can begin to unpick those thoughts and reprogram your thinking towards taking the action to getting unstuck! Woop! 🙌

As an example, for me that moment was realising I wasn’t happy.

Not only was I not happy in the dead-end toxic relationship I was in, but I wasn’t happy with how I was living.

Living a bland life of waking up each day to do the exact same as the day before, and the day before that..

It was a never-ending loop of nothing.

Now it sounds miserable and to some extent it was, but I also had things I was happy with which made it difficult for me to realise I needed, and wanted change.

I liked being at home with my daughter so I didn’t think to change it however by doing so I wasn’t changing the fact I felt lost with my direction in life and also as a person, I didn’t know my own personality other than being a mum.

If your steps are smaller that’s amazing too!

Want a new career? Start by rewriting your CV or looking back at your stuck point to see where you can focus some attention on self-development to lead you to more intentional, purposeful work.

I would highly recommend daily journaling to continue to uncover ways you feel stuck and to identify new dreams and goals you wish to work towards.
