Can’t say 2020 has left me feeling inspired about much if I’m being honest. Mostly it’s left me feeling stuck as hell. But unfortunately – and fortunately – I can’t really *afford* to stay stuck for too long. I’ve got a business to run, coaches to motivate, and clients that are counting on us every step of the way to get them through this hellish year. I have to stop feeling stuck, even if I really don’t want to try.
Not surprisingly, Blush has gotten a lot of questions related to this: “When the world has come to a standstill, but I have to keep going – HOW DO I DO THAT? How do I stop feeling STUCK?”
Great question. I’m answering it myself today. So bear with me – as I probably don’t have all of the answers quite yet.
But let’s at least give it the old college try, yeah?
Take a Quick Break
You do not need to be productive for every waking hour of the day in order to be considered a success. And if you *literally* need to be working every hour of every day to make ends meet, we need to re-assess. Your life has to come with some “give” – space weaved in and out of your day that can be taken if needed.
Taking breaks can reset your whole vibe.
Take a quick walk around the block to get some energy out. Switch modes and do something else. Pick up a book and read for a bit. Just don’t FORCE yourself to feel inspired when you don’t. It will not work. Instead, listen to your body and listen to your mind. Give it the stretch they both need so you can stop feeling stuck and start feeling anything else.
