How many times have you felt stuck about a decision?
Feeling stuck– emotionally or otherwise– is a vicious cycle. Not knowing how to make a business decision will often lead to indecision in other parts of your life, and vice-versa.
Our unconscious mind, always with some positive intention, puts us in the mental trap of being stuck. The positive intention might be to make us take a break, get a totally new perspective, or take a deep breath and let the decision go for now.
How real is your perception
Here are three tips for how to get unstuck immediately, no matter the area of life in which you feel immobilized.
Tip 1: Modeling
Think of a person you admire who has made it through a situation similar to yours.
Close your eyes and ask your heart or your unconscious mind to bring this person’s face into your mind’s eye.
Ask this person, “What would you do if you were in my shoes?”
Listen carefully to your inner wise voice and make sure to note the solution offered to you by the “model” chosen by that same inner voice.
Tip 2: Dare!Dare to do something you never did before.
If what you have done repeatedly does not produce the desired results, chances are your usual actions are not the best for that situation.
What would happen if you did something new, something that would take you out of your comfort zone? Go for it and measure your results.
If this new strategy doesn’t produce the results you want, DARE doing something else. Repeat the process with openness, curiosity and a sense of humor.
Before choosing a strategy, obviously make sure that what you choose does not harm you or any other person.
Example of daring:
If always being generous, kind and ready to help has not produced any results with a loved one, try giving less for once. Focus on yourself rather than trying to please the other person.
If this new strategy does not produce the results you wanted, DARE doing something else and so on with openness , curiosity and sense of humor.
Make sure you experiment with one new strategy at the time so you can monitor what works best for you and others.
Once you get the diseired results, ask yourself what is the fear behind my “giving too much”?
Tip 3: Baby Steps
Often we struggle to meet our goals and have poor results because our ego wants everything right away.
Impatience reveals low self-esteem about a specific goal.
Break down your goal into baby steps: make mini-goals.
Reward yourself for each baby step you achieve. Remind yourself that sometimes “less is more”.
