There will come a time in life when you may feel that you are no longer living in the moment. You may look at things going on and feel stuck, like you are on autopilot, and things just happen TO you, rather than FOR you.
I get it. As someone who deals with chronic "mystery illnesses" that traditional doctors couldn't even figure out for over a decade... I truly understand the feeling.
While many things can cause you to get stuck in life, from a health condition to a big trauma, there are steps you can take to help yourself get restarted. Some of these I have studied and applied to my own life, and some things were suggested to me in my own personal healing process. I hope these tips help you as much as they help me!
Become More Aware
One place you can start when you feel like you are stuck in with your awareness. Consider an examination of your unconscious to see what is going on. You may find that there are cognitive dissonance or defense mechanisms that are in place that make it hard to be aware of your surroundings. Even your default patterns in relationships could be to blame.
Take on Responsibility
Many people find it easier to blame someone else, rather than take responsibility for their actions. You may not want to admit when you have done something wrong, but it can be freeing. Stop for a moment and take an honest inventory of how well you are behaving and what things you may have done wrong. Practice forgiveness, for others and yourself as well.
Detach from Unrealistic Expectations
Whether you are a perfectionist or not, there are times when your expectations of a person or a situation are not realistic and it can lead to a lot of disappointment. You need to start looking at the situation and deciding if your expectations make sense for it or not, tapering back a bit if you end up adding too much that makes it impossible.
Choose Self-Love
It is hard to get going again and enjoy the life you have if you can’t take the time to practice some self-love. The first step to doing this is to make that inner critic go away. When all you hear in your mind are all the ways that you are imperfect and not as good as others, you can feel down and depressed, unmotivated to get much done!! Start by showing yourself some compassion and see what a difference it makes.
Ask for Support
You are a strong and powerful individual, but you can’t do everything on your own. Bring in some support!
While it may be normal to get stuck in life sometimes and feel like you are on autopilot all the time, that doesn’t mean you need to stay in that situation forever. Learning how to enjoy life and jump right back in is one of the best ways for you to get going again.
When I made a DECISION to get unstuck and catapult myself and my business toward the success I DESIRED, I had to make significant DAILY changes in my mindset AND my activities.
These changes all came down to these 5 things.
I’d love to hear what you think!
