How To Get Unstuck
by Lauren Muney

Everyone wants to know the secret to getting unstuck in their lives... how to solve fitness challenges, relationship problems, work issues.

I'm going to give you the secret. But Ssssh.... no one knows it but you. It's an action that you have to promise yourself that you are going to do.

Ready?

Did you promise yourself you will do what it says?

The secret is:

  1. Close your eyes.
  2. Sit quietly in your chair (or wherever you are).
  3. Take a deep breath.
  4. Think about the things that are frustrating you. Don't think about them. Just name them: my body shape, my relationship, my stress... whatever is your frustration.
  5. Open your eyes, get out paper and pencil.
  6. Write these subjects on the paper.

Congratulations. You are no longer stuck. You have taken the first step to becoming un-stuck:

Facing the problems.

Do you think I'm being a smarty-pants?

No, I don't mean to be smart with you. I'm trying to teach YOU how to be smart with you.

The first step to solving a problem is knowing when you are frustrated.

You now know this issue is causing friction between your values/desires and what is actually happening.

Now you are ready for solutions: once you have realized that they are problems. You've stopped making excuses. You know they are problems.

Let us begin.
