Feeling Stuck Or Directionless

As part of the Self Improvement Fast Track series, today I want to elaborate on the second reason why people like you choose to invest time in their self-improvement, which is because they feel stuck, low on motivation or directionless. It all creates a sensation of paralysis where no matter what you do or try, things always find their way back to how they used to be. And compared to our ambitions to live, big, full, happening lives, it can feel like we’re missing out on making the most out of life. 

It’s really disappointing to put so much time and effort into making progress, but things just aren’t going anywhere… To know that you need to take better care of yourself but you just can’t bring yourself to doing it consistently… To come up with new great ideas that you feel inspired by but then you don’t take any steps toward it because you don’t know where to get started. And further it adds pressure because you know that you’re wasting time and the regret is building up.

First, know that feeling stuck or feeling low on motivation is not a reflection of you. The most high-performing people in the world have moments where they don’t feel like doing things, doubt their life path, and hit plateaus that they just can’t breakthrough. But the difference is they have the systems, support, and mindset they need to get past it. So if you’re looking to pull yourself out of a rut and start living inspired, proud of the life you’re living and the contribution you’re making toward others, these are the places to start.

Second, you need something to be working toward. It’s really hard to motivate yourself to do something that isn’t connected to something meaningful to you. A strong enough ‘Why’ can overcome any ‘How’. This becomes the direction that your action steps follow. Now if you don’t have that North Star direction in your life, then it’s a matter of becoming more self-aware and radically honest about what you want. From there you can start taking tiny steps forward, that turn into bigger steps, that kickstart momentum and transform an unmotivated life into an action-taking machine!

When you free yourself from the prison of inaction and get yourself to start trying new things, putting yourself out there, and chasing dreams in even the smallest of ways, you unlock your next level of potential and life fulfillment.
