The Power of Getting Unstuck


Listen Later

In this episode, Ariel talks about how you or someone you know can get unstuck or out of a ‘slow down’.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Through the pandemic I had a number of breakdowns and challenges, like everyone. I was out of work for about 6 months, which had never happened in my career. I had to learn to claim for benefits and when I did there was a computer error because the system crashed when I was applying which delayed the process by months. I was also single with no family around, so no emotional support, I had my kid part time and when I did have him I was frantically trying to home school him, like all the other parents out there. And I was trying to navigate his stress, my stress, all the stress while trying to stay in a good frame of mind. It was intense and scary. But I took baby steps to get unstuck.
  • Being stuck is a way of not moving forward in one or many areas of your life, especially if you want or need to move forward. Being stuck is connected to being afraid of what change would bring, some form of self-sabotage, and is a state that rarely gets us what we want in life. The fear of the unknown and the fear of success are often much more powerful than people realise, sometimes even more powerful than the fear of failure. Those fears are unconscious but they run your behaviour and cause negative feedback loops which keeps people stuck.
  • Everyone is where they are, wherever they are in life and until you learn a lesson, change what you’re doing or habits you’re always going to be in that negative state, until you’re not. Judging yourself for not doing what you’re supposed to do, or not taking action, or not moving forward, keeps you stuck. When you release the judgement you can start moving on to the next steps. Like making a list of the unknowns that would show up in your life if you got unstuck and address them. What would your life look like if you were to be successful and get to make the changes you want to make? How does it feel?
  • One of the biggest limitations to moving forwards is our own procrastination, our own blindness to do what needs to be done, or the fear that we have of hurting someone’s feelings. All of these behaviours are linked to self-sabotage. The saboteur is a part of our consciousness that somehow thinks that it’s winning or protecting us by sabotaging us, we have to teach that part of our consciousness that this is not true. Action is absolutely key – visualisation with no action is distraction. It’s not just knowing what your goals are, it's actually taking the steps to complete those goals and plugging those steps into your calendar and then actually doing those things.

BEST MOMENTS
“Just about everybody at some point in their life gets stuck.”
“We have a lot more resilience than we realise. Though you may not want to hear it when you’re, but it’s actually true.”
“The first thing to do to make a change in your life is to let go of self-judgement. Some people get addicted to that negative energy. Work on what you can do.”
“When you create time in your calendar to do the things you want to do, you’re a lot more likely to do them because you actually have the time to do them.”
