Feeling Stuck

We all experience times of stuckness. I've recently found myself feeling stuck with regards to my purpose in life and not knowing how to move forward. Stuckness can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, low self esteem, lack of confidence and a general feeling of being lost and not knowing how to move forward.
Stuckness can give you a sense of panic and make you want to move out of the situation quickly creating a quick sand effect.

It's OK to feel stuck. Accept how you feel and instead of fighting against it, give yourself some space to breathe and think. Feeling stuck is a sign that you need to make a change in your life and only you will know which area of your life this signal is highlighting for you, be it work, relationships, health, home etc.
The stuckness signal can be one of the most important signals you will ever receive and it's important to sit up and take notice. Don't give into to the feeling and let it overwhelm you. Use it and take the steps needed to make the change in your life.

Ask yourself some important questions.
What am I not happy with in my life at the moment? (this is usually the area where you will feel stuck)
How can I make positive steps to begin making changes in this area?
Don't overwhelm yourself. Make small attainable goals which will leave you with a feeling of satisfaction and control over your life.
What is one thing you can do today that will make the biggest change in your life?
What am I not admitting to myself?
How can I begin each day more positively, creating more energy and productivity? 
A morning routine is a hugely valuable renewing step to take, Again, don't overwhelm yourself by setting a goal of getting up an hour earlier and going for a 45 minute jog followed by meditation and eating a bowl of spinach. A drastic change will give you a sense of fear and dread. This should be enjoyable.
Wake up 30 minutes earlier, no snoozing of the alarm. Before getting out of bed take a deep breath, smile and think of 3 simple things you are grateful for in your life. E.g The sunshine, your comfy bed, music... anything that rings true to your heart. And really feel the gratitude. The more grateful you are in your life the more the universe will create things for you to be grateful for.

15 minutes of gentle exercise like yoga or stretching. Youtube has a wonderful selection of free yoga tutorials. Check out my links for you page to try some of my personal favourites.

Review the areas in your life that you need to change and start to take the necessary steps you need to pull you out of the quick sand.

What do you truly want?

Be brave, take risks, you can do this!
