How To Get Unstuck

by Lola Fayemi -

It’s part of the natural order to get stuck in certain areas of our lives. Whether you are feeling stuck in your finances, with your health, relationships, career etc you will tend to be most stuck in the area that will grab your attention.

Although it may feel frustrating, feeling stuck is a great motivator for change and growth that without experiencing the energy of stuckness, we may not feel compelled to make.

I’m a believer that we came here to experience the feeling of living physically in spiritual alignment with the Universe. On Earth our nature is both physical and spiritual and experiencing stuckness is a sign that we are out of balance, either living too spiritually or too physically.

It is not a matter of spiritual = good and physical = bad as too much of either brings it’s own problems but rather that feeling stuck is a call to rebalance.

To be stuck is to be stagnant and when we are here is feels so heavy and solid as if nothing could ever change it. The good news is that the feelings are false and YOU CAN get yourself unstuck and move forward again, usually a lot easier than before.

7 WAYS TO HELP YOU GET UNSTUCK:

1. Admit that you need to change something  

Sometimes you can get locked into believing you need to make a conscious effort to push against the feeling of stuckness. You may even feel you know what to do and just aren’t doing it. However, ask yourself these simple questions: 

• How long have you been stuck in this area of your life? (I’m talking months/years not ‘ages’)
• What have you tried so far?
• How has it changed in that time, has it got better or worse? 

If you see that you have had this problem for years, maybe a majority of your life and that it’s getting slightly worse no matter what you’ve tried it’s time to admit you do not currently have the answers and take up a beginner’s mind to move forward without any assumptions getting in the way. 

2. Celebrate stuckness  

As I’ve already said feeling stuck is a great motivator for change that you may not otherwise make. Berating yourself for feeling or being stuck won’t get you anywhere so ease up on yourself and be thankful you are even aware you are stuck and are going to do something about it. 

By being stuck you are being called forth to some kind of greatness (although it may not feel like that at the time). 

3. Get curious  

Like the Guy Finley quote says,

“The only thing keeping you stuck is what you do not know about yourself.” 

So when you do not know what within you is keeping you stuck ask the question, what do I not know about myself that is keeping me stuck? 

4. Become more present  

Once you are asking the question, you WILL get an answer. However you may miss the answer if you are not present to your thoughts words, actions, emotions, beliefs etc. 

It’s probably some uncovered conditioning or conflicting belief system that is keeping you stuck so no amount of conscious effort will override the subconscious conflict. 

Becoming more present and curious are key steps to uncovering the belief that’s currently running the show. As soon as they are in the light they lose a most of their power over you. 

5. Take the clues from your relationships  

Relationships are great teachers for us IF we take the lessons. When you are exploring the area of your life where you are feeling stuck looking to the people closest to you can be very eye-opening, particularly the relationships with people that provoke a negative reaction from you. 

These are the ones that show you how you feel about those qualities inside of you, bringing your focus back within so you can make the journey back to wholeness. 

6. Explore the benefits of staying stuck  

Try not to look at stuck as a bad thing and forward movement as good. They are just opposites and it’s important for your growth you learn to dnace in the light as well as the shadows. 

What could be good about being stuck? Uncover your secondary gains from your undesired situation. What do you no longer get to do when you are unstuck? what are you kept safe from while stuck? 

7. Build your desire  

Sometimes we can get so focused in on the way we are stuck that we stop giving as much energy and focus to the bigger picture and home in on the obstacle. Take the time to regularly build your vision for your desire, do it weekly as it can change. 

Keeping your eyes on the prize can be the momentum you need sometimes to pull you forward and bring all the conflicting stuff in your subconscious to the surface.
