Show Notes:
Recently my mindset changed on feeling stuck: You aren’t actually stuck in life. You’re just focusing on the wrong things for THIS season of life & you’ve outgrown the way you experience success & need to make changes. 

Feeling stuck can be a challenging experience, whether you understand it’s only because you need a mindset shift or not. Because even if you DO realize you need a mindset shift, you can still be sitting around, wondering where it should shift to & what you SHOULD be doing.

We will get into some tips on what I recommend you do when you’re feeling this way, but first, let’s chat about WHY we feel like we’re stuck in life:

1. If we are lacking direction in our lives or a purpose to work towards & embody, we can feel stuck. This is especially true when we are doing something we don’t want to do, like a job or a place where we live or responsibilities we didn’t want.
2. Not knowing what will happen when we step outside of our comfort zones & make changes can be fear-inducing, which can lead to feeling stuck in life.
3. If you’re already dealing with a lot of stressors & struggles in your life, it will be more difficult to keep moving forward. And if you’re not moving forward, you end up feeling stuck.
4. If you are lacking in multiple areas of your life (friends, money, time, opportunities, support, healthy relationships), you can feel stuck.
5. If you still have a ton of emotional baggage & unresolved trauma hanging around, you will feel stuck in that unfinished feeling.

If you feel like none of these reasons hit home for you, I encourage you to take the time to figure out what YOUR reason for feeling stuck is. It will really help you transition OUT of that feeling if you can. If you’re not sure how to get started on that, I would suggest starting by reflecting on what’s happening in your life right now. Really think about how you feel about your current relationships (or lack thereof), your job, any goals you may have, your money & even the health of your mind & body. If you find it difficult to recall all of these things in one sitting, start writing down any reflections when you do think of something. And look for any patterns in your life that could point you in the direction of what could be triggering feelings of feeling stuck. Also, don’t forget that chatting with someone you trust or a therapist/counselor an help with this exercise, too.

Now, let’s get into some tips on What You Should Do When You’re Feeling Stuck In Life:

1. Figure Out Why You’re Feeling Stuck. 
2. Figure Out What Needs to Change & Create Goals.
3. Take Action On Your Goals.
4. Try Something New. 
5. Celebrate Everything.
