WHO does NOT get stuck in life? Admittedly, I did et STUCK in my life multiple times. BUT does that merit grabbing the headlines? NO sirrrrrrrs. That a non-news to anyone of us. BUT it's a totally different story WHEN sometimes it can feel like we're STUCK in life, LIKE doing the same things we're NOT so happy with, over and over again. Sometime in the past, I did fall into that procrastinating dilemma, often leading me to indecision and in the end, I was in a state of inactivity as a ripple effect of that indecisionπππ
Those moments of indecision sometimes would creep through our own health lifestyle, our finances, OR even those important changes in our life WHERE a decision is no less needed. In the end, we get stuck sometimes unconsciously BUT down the road, we become conscious enough that we're STUCK but the saddest thing is that we tend to accept that state of getting STUCK than endeavoring to extricate our own self out from being STUCKπ₯π₯π₯
So, for the sake of discussion, can we get UNSTUCK? Absolutely. It turns out, there's always a way through that STUCKNESS state. And experts tell us that it's NOT just turning away from STUCKNESS but instead turning towards it. And going through it. And embracing that STUCKNESS and letting it 'UNSTICK' itself. SO HOW? NOT to reinvent the wheel BUT let's listen to WHAT the experts counsel us. LIKE let us turn towards the difficulty [and NOT away from difficulty]. LIKE if you're avoiding a difficult project OR your messy finances OR messy clutter, if there is one solid guarantee we are told, it's that NOT MUCH will change UNLESS and UNTIL you turn toward it and face itπππ
The experts tell us that only our conscious willingness to turn towards those difficulties will work favorably in our favor and it is one of the most NOT so obvious pre-requisites to trigger a change for one to get UNSTUCKed. LIKE making decisions with intention. Many of us, though, end up with decisions that are correct BUT they do it half-heartedly. If we want something to happen, we have to decide to make a change. It's as simple as that and YET WHAT happens is we get STUCK in a so called 'in-between' state WHERE we want to change BUT we HAVEN'T made a clear decision to do so, meaning a clear decision to commit fully to itπ‘π‘π‘Our takeaway: One key realization I managed to grasp through the years is being compassionate with yourself. WHEN we keep doing the same things over and over again, we can get really down on ourselves and in the end, disappointed, disheartened, discourraged OR worse frustrated, enough to form our negative self-image. Alas, none of that helps us to get extricated from getting STUCK and ironically it adds up to our STUCKNESS. Surely you have either witnessed OR heard folks WHO got STUCK but sought refuge in either overeating, alcohol, smoking and worse, drugs? And if you keep finding for a perfect solution from your getting stuck, there is a 99% probability that you will NOT find it. So, WHAT's the advice we're getting? Never dream for a perfect fix. Instead, aim for progress, even if it's an inch-by-inch progress. IF YOU'RE STUCK, UNSTUCK YOURSELF!!!
