I Feel Stuck – Do This When You Say: “I Feel Stuck In My Life”

A liberating 3-step technique that frees you from that icky state of feeling stuck:

We all feel stuck sometimes…

It’s a part of transition and should be taken very seriously.

But never with a heavy heart…

My program called the Life Direction Clarifier evolved out of my own desperate search and struggle with deep feelings of frustration that used to ‘consume’ me.

I’m leaps and bounds better now, but still have times when I feel a bit overwhelmed, or directionless, or like I need a quick mental tune-up.

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

I’ve tested various ways of doing a quick ‘self-review’, and have found what works best for me personally, whenever I feel ‘kinda overwhelmed’, or frustrated with something.

There are just 3 Headings for the Stuck-State Self-Review, and they are:

1. Frustrations
2. Weaknesses to consider
3. Skills development and actions

Take a sheet of paper or open a new computer file and write the words Frustrations, Weaknesses, and Actions.

List out your current frustrations, and go into as much detail as feels right (for ‘getting things off your chest’).

Then turn it on yourself by considering your own weaknesses that are supporting these frustrating predicaments in your life right now.

I.e. what could you improve about your own choices that could alleviate the frustrations.

Finally, jot down a few ‘next step actions’ that can practically move you forwards towards changing those weaknesses and reducing those frustrations.

I hope that doesn’t seem too simplistic.

If you just take the time to do that one exercise, I am quite certain you will feel some (if not a lot) of that feeling of stuckness shift almost instantly.

I could give you a whole great shpeal about how it’s your old aunt maries fault that your boss doesn’t like you, and that you need to ‘set goals’ and say positive affirmations whilst staring at yourself in the mirror every morning saying ‘oohhhmmmmm…’.

Phooey to all that non-sense.

Here’s the answer:

…Life Direction Clarifier.

And here’s some essential points for existing members:

Just list out your 1. frustrations, 2. weaknesses, and 3. actions… whenever you get into a ‘stuck state’.

I can almost guarantee you’ll immediately start feeling better, and have practical ways to improve things.

Once you get results with this and decide you want to go deeper into clarifying your long-term direction and purpose, clarify and define your purpose and life direction.
