Have you ever felt like you had cement blocks stuck on your feet or like you were trying to tread through quicksand? We're going to get into all the details about what. Does that even mean getting unstuck? Why are we even stuck in the first place? We're going to dig into all that good stuff in today's episode. Let's dig in.

Speaker 1: 0:59

Welcome to the show. Today we're talking about how to get unstuck. We're going to be talking about the root causes of feeling stuck, practical and effective solutions to regain your momentum and how to continue progressing, because being stuck is a feeling we're not actually stuck unless we are literally in quicksand but it can be a very challenging feeling to move past. I've been there myself and literally it felt like there were cement blocks on my feet, so I understand the feeling of it. I'll also say that we're going to be talking about how to get unstuck. You know what it actually is how to move through that feeling. But I will add in sometimes the most effective and fastest way to shift this is by getting an outside opinion, and not from any Joe Blow on the block, from any Joe Blow on the block. Getting an educated opinion on what you're actually going through. So not just a random opinion that has no basis in what you're actually experiencing. So that can be someone that is in the same industry as you, who has gone through something similar, someone that you know, who has made it out on the other side of what you are going through, a trained professional like a coach or a mentor, someone who can give you real perspective. You know, all it takes often when we're stuck is a new way of looking at something. So I've worked with clients who have been stuck for so long and we've had one call and one thing I've said has shifted their perspective and opened up a whole new way of looking at it and a whole new door of opportunities. The problem is when we get into the energy and the thought patterns and the frequency of stuckness. What keeps us there is a lot of times we just keep regurgitating the same thought patterns over and over and over and we're so focused on the problem and trying to figure out how to get unstuck that we don't leave any space or room for new ideas, inspired ideas, new insights. There's no room for it. We're just regurgitating the same thing over and over and over and over and people get to a place where they're like I don't even see a way out. I don't even see a way out of this, or I have no idea how to get myself unstuck. And getting that right perspective shifts everything. This is one of the reasons why and I'm going to get into the stuff, I'm going to get into the information how to get unstuck and what it's all about. But I'll say this One of the things that people often do is they'll find my website and they will be interested in coaching.

Speaker 1: 4:49

They'll be interested in knowing you know what are the rates, how many sessions in a package, what are all the things it includes, and my coaching is application. You do need to have an application. However, besides that point, what I tell people is it's not about how many sessions, it's not about how long are the sessions and do I get a PDF. What is important is the actual transformation. It's the shift, right, and all you need is that one little piece and you're fine. You're on a whole nother level, right? It's not about, again, even how to get unstuck. It's not about talking about it and psychoanalyzing it and figuring out all these things over and over and over again. It really is a shift in perspective.

Speaker 1: 5:42

Okay, so let's talk about what being stuck actually is, because again, it's a feeling, and when we can dig deeper into what that actual feeling is, we can understand what strategy to then implement to move through it. And again, the strategy is rooted in a new perspective. So we want to be focused in on the solution, not the problem. We don't want to be focused in on how to fix a problem, because then all our frequency, our perspective, everything is directed at the problem. We actually want to shift that and focus in on the solution, because the solution is giving us the answer to actually move forward, not just loop and dig ourselves deeper into the stuck hole.

Speaker 1: 6:36

So what are you actually feeling when you feel stuck? Are you feeling resistance to take that next step? If you are, if you know what this step is, but you're resisting it, what are you actually afraid of? Write this out, actually, take out your pen and write it out. What are you afraid of? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is there so much going on that you are paralyzed with overwhelm? Your whole system has shut down, so to speak. How can we actually break this up into chunks so you can understand what to focus on now and what to focus on next?

Speaker 1: 7:26

A lot of times, with overwhelm, there's many things we can get rid of that are just not important to your values. To move the needle, we've just kind of gotten to a habit, or we think we have to do it. Maybe you're in straight up fear, like you are literally feeling a visceral feeling of fear and you can't get yourself to move forward. Maybe that is fear of judgment, fear of have this fear of judgment. Let me tell you, fear of judgment is the number one thing that comes up in my client calls when I'm working with clients, and a lot of times these clients are from the outside, look, and they are confident. Right, I'm not saying they're not confident, but they look extremely confident, like they wouldn't care in the world what people had to say about them. But they have a fear of judgment. I have had a fear of judgment. It's stopped me many times in my tracks from putting things out.

Speaker 1: 8:34

One of the things that has helped is just putting it out and then seeing, you know, the comments or the thumbs down, and it just doesn't even to me. I'm like who cares? I don't even know what they don't like, it doesn't matter. I'm focusing in on the people that do matter, the people that are enjoying it, right. So I kind of went off track here with the stuckness, but it's really important to get clear on what is the underlying feeling. What is the underlying emotion? What is really going on here?

Speaker 1: 9:09

Maybe the feeling of stuck is really a sense of confusion. Right, we're confused which path to take. I'm not sure this is a big thing that comes up when someone is unconsciously sabotaging their growth and expansion. I see it a lot in the entrepreneur world, where a person will almost flip between things continuously, and not that there's any problem with exploring what you want to do and changing things up. But when someone is flipping, flipping, flipping, but never giving anything enough time to take root and grow, a lot of times this can be a form of staying within what I call the safety zone. Resistance masks itself in confusion a lot of times and we can have the feeling of oh, I'm stuck, I don't know which way to go. Well, one choose a path, walk, go down that path and analyze is this working, is it not working? And trust that you will be course corrected into the right path. But give it enough time for things to actually take root or for absolute clarity if you like this path or you don't. But don't simply shift because you're not seeing the results fast enough, because a lot of times you're not giving it enough time to take root For a high achiever.

Speaker 1: 10:45

Feeling stuck can feel very frustrating because we like moving forward, we like knowing what we're doing, we like to take action. So I'm going to invite you to shift any belief system that has you feeling like you're in the wrong place, like wrong place, wrong time, and shift your perspective and understand that something is going on within you. Either what's coming up are fears and what we want to do with fears is we don't want to shove them down, ignore them. We actually want to bring them to the surface so we can move through that fear. We can bring it up, release it or what's going on is your spirit is directing you to another path.

Speaker 1: 11:34

A lot of times, if I'm working with a client who's coming from, let's say, the corporate world and they're not quite sure the direction they want to go, but they know that they're not really happy and they feel stuck, they feel like they can't move forward, let's look at that in the sense of there's a part of you that is guiding you to a much more aligned path for your soul, the reason why you came here. And sometimes there's a time period where you're not going to have that clarity. So, instead of saying like I feel stuck, like there's something wrong with me, I should know what I'm doing. Change it to. You know, instead of thinking you need to fix something, shift it to.

Speaker 1: 12:30

This is my opportunity to explore. This is my opportunity to explore any resistance or fear path is truly aligned with my values, with my vision, and how can I make this easier for me? What would that look like? Is it hiring someone to help me? Maybe a coach or a mentor? Maybe it's hiring, if you're feeling overwhelmed, an operational manager, someone to help you eliminate things that are no longer working for you and bring in systems that will help you If you feel like you're walking in quicksand.

Speaker 1: 13:30

Walking in quicksand. This is your invitation to move through that feeling. It doesn't mean you need to figure out all the answers, but asking the question what is one thing you can either let go of or bring into the equation that's going to either help you to make progress or to help give you clarity? Because there's no I shouldn't say there's no use in it, because there's use in everything. Right, we learn from everything, but to continue trying the same things that haven't been working, or looping the same thought patterns over and over and over and over and over and over and over, is the most frustrating.

Speaker 1: 14:20

I've been there, the most frustrating, non-effective path to go, and the most effective strategy if you've been stuck for three months or more is to get outside help. Get the outside help because we have blind spots and there's nothing to be ashamed of that. Get the outside help because we have blind spots and there's nothing to be ashamed of that. We as human beings have blind spots and that's why it can be challenging to truly make radical shifts when we're in spots like this, feeling stuck, feeling overwhelmed, feeling resistance because of a lot of those blind spots, all it takes sometimes. This is why I always work. I have my regular coaches and then I have part of my mentorship team that I work with every six months, because they give me a new perspective, they bring in clarity and it allows me to, and it allows me to. It just gets me out of my own way and gives me so much clarity instantly. So I'm going to wrap it up.

Speaker 1: 15:34

I hope this was helpful and gave you a little bit of a new perspective on what it means to be stuck and how you can truly see it, as it's not a problem to be fixed. It's just a point in your life or in your work to explore, and with the right mindset, the right perspective shifts, the right support, you can get unstuck extremely fast and be moving towards personal professional fulfillment in no time.
