Get Unstuck!

So many people have been talking about being stuck! Stuck on marketing... finishing a class assignment... handling details... setting up a financial budget... creating a schedule that works...or in an unfulfilling (and even dreadful) relationship. Rush Limbaugh said, "Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old - old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something." 

You see, inaction causes anxiety. Yet when planning action remember this: When you drive down the road and get stuck in mud you don't get out and move along the same path. Otherwise you are soaked in mud again. Albert Einstein explained, "You can not solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew." Take a new route! Come from a new perception.

To stay out of the mud and move in a direction that revitalizes you:
~ Define the obstacle- What is at the source of your stuckness?
~ Take action to resolve it- Fill the gap between the source and the end result.
~ Focus on the ideal end result- Keep your eyes on the prize.
Einstein also declared, "If I had 20 days to solve a problem , I would take 19 days to define it." So what is the source of the obstacle? Here are a few examples with tips to make a shift. 

If you are stuck because you are:
Unsure of what to do- Gather more information. Seek advice from someone who knows.
Not wanting to do it- Delegate it to someone whose good at it. If you have to do it, do it first thing in the   morning. Get it behind you. Focus on completion and the results you want.
Overwhelmed- Choose the small part you CAN do (even if a rediculously tiny step). Begin!
Fearful- Is it legitimate? Is it something you really want to do? Put your courage to work. Know how great you will feel for having the gumption to address your fear while gaining knowledge and experience.
Battling an old thought pattern or habit that is not serving you- Shift it! You have the power to change it to something positive and encouraging that will support you to take action. EX- Shifting self talk, going to bed earlier or eating better so you have the energy, etc.

No matter what the obstacle remember the aim (the ideal end result). The Wright Brothers did not learn how to put a plane in the air by focusing on being stuck on the ground. Ships were not built by focusing on how to make something sink. Define the obstacle and move into action with great focus on what you want to accomplish and how great that feels. Allow that to become the magnet to advance you forward.

Inaction creates anxiety. So when you are stuck move into action whether it is gathering more information, asking for advice, shifting a mind set or habit, moving through fear, or taking small steps you know you CAN do! What will you do today to tap into your genius, be in action, and take a new route in a way that is revitalizing? It's time to DO something! And let us know what works for you by commenting below.

Do Your Best in This Moment = Very Best Place for the Next

"My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." Oprah Winfrey

Think about it... if you just focus on doing your best in this moment as each moment arises you set yourself up to live your best life whether communicating with a client, creating a new product or service, hugging your significant other, or off having a great time golfing, scrap booking, or skiing down a mountain. 

A reader of Wednesday Morning Inspiration wrote me a note that it reminded her of the Fibonacci Sequence. The Fibonacci Sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each subsequent number is the sum of the two previous numbers. Such as 0- 1- 1- 2- 3- 5- 8- 13 . See how each number is a product of the sum of the two previous numbers? While you are not here for a math lesson, it does make you think... 

If each moment you do your best in that given moment, are you building your life
~  step by step sequentially....... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,   8... ? OR
~  by the Fibonacci Sequence... 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... ?

Hmmm... is that how Oprah became the first female billionaire? I really don't know but it's intriguing. What I do know is that doing your very best in each moment will lead to greater relationships, life/ career experiences, knowledge, confidence, fulfillment, opportunities, etc. And that new businesses as they grow tend to look more like the Fibonacci Sequence in the beginning when laying the foundation.

So, what will you do to make the most of every moment so that you are in the very best place for the next? Comment below and let us know what you try and how it goes. We can all become the best we can be together!

And thanks to Laura Kerley of http://www.pencilsproofreading.com/ for reminding me about the Fibonacci Sequence. BTW, if you need something proofread/ edited this is Laura's expertise (removing errors from important info). I guess she helps you be your best in the moment! ~smile~

Go Full Out Today!

What if we lived today (and/ or tomorrow) full out! I wonder how our day might be different. I wonder if our results would change? I wonder if life would get more exciting? I wonder if we would get more done? I wonder if the world would become a better place? OK OK... maybe I'm getting carried away! But think about it... when a dancer goes full out they put everything they've got into their performance... passion, skills, strengths, training, energy. It makes the performance so much more exciting and entertaining! On the other hand a football player who plays full out on the field is doing the same... putting their strengths, skills, training, energy, and love for the game into every move. It leads to exciting plays and great achievements.

So let's do it! Let's wake up... full out! Let's carry out our work, play, relationships, spiritual time full out and see what happens. See how life will be different. See how results may change. Not sure how to do it?

1) Get your head in the game... love every moment!
2) Put that love and passion into everything you do.
3) Leverage your strengths, skills, training, and knowledge
4) Be enthusiastic! Put energy into your efforts and rejuvenate when needed.

OK, ready? Let's go! Live today full out and come back here to comment if anything changed. Did people respond to you differently? Did you feel differently at the end of the day? Did any new opportunities show up because of it? What changed? I can't wait to hear!
