Here are 9 Ways to Get Unstuck in Life and Live Fully

1. Change Your Perspective

When you begin to let go of the past, you begin to view reality in newer ways and feel freer to change your attitude. To gain a new perspective, you can try meditation or spend time by yourself to listen to your inner voice. It is always helpful to open yourself up to new ideas and people and introduce physical activities to your routine. All of this helps you to develop a new perspective on the future and what is possible.

2. Believe in Yourself

Learn to trust that you can reach your expectations and get out of your comfort zone. To do so you can make a list of your positive traits and remind yourself consistently that you are very much capable of it.
The first step in believing in yourself is to recognize your self-doubt. Start paying attention to the ways you react to the situations. This way you will be able to work your way out of self-doubt.

3. Practice Being Hopeful

When you’ve had a lot of disappointments in life you tend to feel helpless. Or maybe you are experiencing pessimism naturally. This is something you will have to work on to change. You can find a practice such as meditation, prayer, or just reading inspirational books, and make sure to do it regularly. You must remember that hope is not a permanent state, this is something you need to work on every single day.

4. Start with Small Changes

When we begin to accept changes, it stimulates certain areas of the brain which further improves creativity and clarity of the mind. You can begin by making small changes in your daily routine, moving things in the house, or making new friends. Every choice you make matters. Where you might be tempted to skip the little things because they don’t matter, however, that’s all that matters. Accumulation of small changes will help you to accomplish your goals and you will begin to feel unstuck.

5. Let Go of the Past

Start listening to the stories being played in your mind. Are the stories connected to past events? If yes, then you need to look for an answer from within as to why you are stuck on this particular event. Then check what can be done to live with them, learn to accept, and move forward. You must always remember that the past can’t be changed, but you can certainly move forward in order to find inner peace. When you forgive yourself or others, it becomes relatively easy for you to move on.

6. Explore Your Purpose

You need to constantly remind yourself that your life’s purpose is not only a job or your responsibilities or your goals. Find your purpose; the only purpose that you need to be seeking what makes you feel alive. Something that you are passionate about and are willing to put a fight for. It could be anything like helping someone to overcome sadness or growing as a human being or whatever you think would define you.

7. Compare Wisely

Comparisons can often make you feel down and create a sense of stagnation, which may not always be valid. You must realize that your pace of progress differs from your friends’, neighbours’, siblings or even significant others’.

Just because you are not a millionaire by the age of 30, or haven’t started your own business, or written your third bestseller yet, doesn’t mean that you are not moving forward.

So, mind how you measure your progress and your state of stuck-ness. Your perceptions may differ from reality.

Besides, it’s never ever too late to start things over!

8. Find Something you are Passionate about

If you enjoy doing something, you want to do more often and it doesn’t feel like an obligation. You always have motivation to keep going despite setbacks, stress or the tiredness you may experience at times. So, look for those passions that thrills you and makes you come alive. The more progress you make in the area of your passion, more will be the confidence to apply the same passion and dedication to all other parts of your life where you are feeling stuck

9. Spend some time on Self-Reflection

Spend some quality time alone. When I say quality time, I mean free from distractions such as mobile phone, television or any other gadgets. Just sit with yourself, connect with nature, write down your thoughts or meditate. You need to figure out why you are stuck—that is, what is the root of your discontent. This will help you to identify the real problem. It is as the saying goes: “Identifying the problem is half of the solution.”
