10 Ways To Get Unstuck Today!
by Caroline Jalango
Here is how to get your life, work or personal goals out of that rut…right now!
1. Clarify matters that remain unclear.
Are you stuck because you are in a mental fog? How can you possibly move forward with confidence if you don’t know where you are headed? What exactly are you doing and what end result are you seeking? Resolve these issues!
2. Collaborate with someone.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to people who can help you complete tasks, brainstorm or solve problems. Swallow your pride if you must; delegate what you can’t do on your own and pay to receive this help if necessary! Whatever you do…get the help you need to get unstuck and make progress.
3. Ask for a deadline extension.
If you are working on other people’s projects, ask for a deadline extension so you can "get yourself together!" Don’t stress yourself unnecessarily because the project is due and you are experiencing "brain freeze." Ask for more time if you need it!
4. Fight the overwhelm factor.
Break down the task into bite-sized pieces and schedule specific days or periods of time to work on specific parts of the task. This will eliminate overwhelm, get you unstuck and make your work more enjoyable and manageable.
5. Conquer your personal fears and "just do it!"
Think about it…whatever happens after you deal with "your fear" is going to be much better than being paralyzed with fear and doing absolutely nothing with your life or about your work! So, why not take the worthwhile risk and go for what you really want?
6. Gather information about your area of focus.
Find out how others have successfully resolved the issues you are now facing and apply those principles to your situation. Knowledge liberates!
