Do you feel stuck professionally, financially, emotionally, morally?

Maybe it’s not about the way you feel. It may be that you’re working harder than ever, yet making less. Or maybe it’s an addiction to pornography or not eating or over working. Maybe you’ve attempted to get that promotion several times, but it always seems to go to someone else.

Whatever it is, no matter how hard you fight it, you can’t seem to get past it. Maybe it’s time to take a step back and release your stress on sites like 신규사이트.

I know for me, I’ve felt stuck in this bizarre level of stress. All it takes is the smallest bit of uncertainty and my instant default is to shut down. Anxiety has me hooked, and my attempts to simply deal with it in the moment and move on don’t seem to be working. Perhaps other solutions like using CBD Oil is worth a try.

Hitting walls and having to creatively navigate around them is, often, a valuable part of the journey towards success. However, when failure keeps reoccurring and you feel stuck – be it professional, relational, or moral – dusting yourself off and trying again may NOT be the right step towards success.

Enter Andy Reese.

Andy recently published a compilation of brilliant perspectives, called Bleats, and I’d highly recommend the purchase. As a long time student of psychology & inner healing, his insight on just about anything is both beautiful and practical.

The following CONCISE GUIDE TO GETTING UNSTUCK is built on some of Andy’s insight that I couldn’t not share. (His words in italics)

1. Don’t Be a Critic.

Have I judged or criticized someone related to this area – held them in contempt or ridiculed them? Follow this…

Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. – Matthew 7

2. Kill the Negative Self-talk.

Do I have a self sabotaging belief about this. Do I think, “right, something always happens to mess things up”; or “I am so stupid…”. Follow this…

If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? – Romans 8

3. Don’t Be Lazy.

Am I working with all my strength and mind or being lazy? Follow this…

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men. – Colossians 3

4. Stop Living Another’s Dream.

Am I going after the wrong thing for wrong reason other than God’s leading? Perhaps something I am not well suited for, have no passion for. Maybe to please a parent or my friends, out of fear, for selfish reasons or out of greed? Follow this…

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves. – Philippians 2

5. Deal with the Root.

Whats at the core of the issue keeping me stuck? Perhaps its something thats been in my family for generations, or a pattern of thought I’ve developed in childhood. Ask why and take the time to dig. If you never unearth the root of the issue, you may be at risk of it always growing back. Follow this…

Come and sit down. Let us reason together. – Isaiah 1:18

How about you? Any signs of these negative patterns in your life? How about experiences where you’ve broken through an issue or failure using similar tactics as Andy suggests? If so, tell us a good story.

    Wow, good timing! I’ve been looking for a job, and not much is budging. Funny stuff, all the intricacies of looking for work, following destiny and the Lord. Thanks, man.

    Good stuff.

    I reframe critic to coach, and look for the actionable, insightful ways to hit the high notes, or operate at a higher level.

    One of my great mentors always posed the question, “What’s holding you back?” In just about every scenario, the answer was always, “you” … whether it was limiting beliefs, or negative self-talk, or just habits and practices.

    He would always ask a simple question to get unstuck … “What would great look like?” And, he would have you elaborate on it. He would have you play it over time. If you started to mention people getting in the way, he would challenge with, “What would their concern be?” … “What would you like them to do?” … “Have you had that conversation?”

    It was always sage advice.

    The big thing he taught our collective group was to avoid the blame game, own your destiny, and don’t be the person that gets in your own way.
