Feeling Stuck? Here's a Tool to Get Unstuck and Achieve Your Goals

Feeling stuck? Flat? Like your vision is one million miles away and you’re never going to “get there?"  Or maybe like you're never going to get anywhere? 

Time to ask yourself...WWFYD? Obv...What would Future-You do?  😜

Paint the picture of life as you desire it to be, and then step into your picture.

This is one of my favorite exercises. It lifts me up out of my stagnate energy, into the energy of possibility, which is the energy I need to be in to see opportunities and solutions, and BE the person I need to be to create what I desire. It turns on my stream of creativity, allowing it to begin freely flowing again. It pulls me out of my feelings of stuckness and reminds me that not only are my dreams possible, but that I am connected to them right now, today, in this moment.

Grab your journal and free write, writing as if you have realized your goal(s) and are living your dream life. Write first person, present tense, “I am…,” “We are…,” It is…,” etc. Write about your gratitude for what has occurred, what your day looks like, how you’re showing up, awards, recognition, and/or praise received, vacations taken, etc.

This is different than a full vision exercise. You don’t need to build out an entire vision, you'll work in just one area. Just capture a zoomed in snapshot. Think: microscope.

Paint yourself into a specific moment. For example, if it’s your career life or financial life that you desire to transform, you don’t need to write about your husband, or kids, or friends, or fitness, etc., etc. etc., except how they relate to the picture you’re currently painting. 

Create one scene, not thewhole movie.

--“We’re about to board the plane to…”

--“I’m still reeling from accepting the ____ award last night…”

--“I’m honestly still pinching myself; I just opened my banking app…”

--“I can’t believe I just  ____goal you’re trying to hit___...”

Bonus: This exercise can leave you in a whole new state, full of inspiration, energy, creativity, and new insights. When you’re in this elevated state, choose one thing to schedule into your calendar that will help you step into the picture you just painted. It could be one exciting or courageous thing for today or this week, a reoccurring weekly or monthly appointment, something you've been putting off, anything that feels aligned in your high vibe state. Move the elevated energy from your heart to your head and then into your reality through your calendar.
