It’s important to build an action plan. If you stay organized and follow a simple plan of action step by step, there will be nothing that can stop you from achieving your goals. 

If you want the 34 second version of this, watch this video.

Here are some ideas that can get you on your way to getting unstuck:

1. Set Up Accountability. 

When you hold yourself accountable and keep a close eye on your goals, you’ll be able to better identify when you’re stuck in a rut. The first step is to really figure out why you’re feeling stuck in the first place.

It is challenging to be accountable to yourself, especially in those areas that you don’t know what to do in and you haven’t been getting the results you want. That is when it is time for you to get a professional who can guide you, help you overcome obstacles and hold you accountable. This is the speedy way versus reading endless emails and blog articles and watching YouTube videos.

2. Set A Time Goal. 

You’re stuck and you’d like to be unstuck, but chances are you’ve been putting off working toward your goal. You’ve already decided to get accountability and now it’s time to give yourself a time limit – so do it!

(If you are resisting setting a time goal, go back to step #1 and figure out WHO (not HOW) is going to make you accountable. If you are like most, you will have to make a financial investment because the real truth is when you pay, you pay attention. Nothing spurs performance more than the fear of losing hard-earned money. So figure out WHO you feel can show you the way

3. Do It Through the Fear. 

Being afraid of change is one of the biggest reasons why you get stuck in the first place. Perhaps you’re feeling trapped in your job and, in order to get the job you’d like you have to LOOK and reach out to people who may have access to your dream position. You need to get over your fear and send that email or message on LinkedIn or Facebook.  You’ll be happy you did when you land your dream job someday. No one knows your desire until you do something to show it.

4. Look For Role Models. 

Find someone who has been through your situation or something similar and see how he or she was able to overcome obstacles. If possible, ask this person questions.

5. Change Your Thinking.

It’s true: your actions first start as thoughts. When you think positive and brave thoughts, you’ll be motivated into action! First you will need to examine your personal beliefs. Is it you that is continuously holding you back by refusing to look inside?

6. Take Time. 

Remember to take some time for yourself to collect your thoughts. You may discover some insight into how to solve your challenges. Make sure you’re completely alone with your thoughts without any distractions. 

Stop doing, doing, and doing and BE so that there is space and time for opportunity to come.

7. Taking Action

It’s easy to remain in your “stuck” situation because it’s familiar and you know what’s going to happen. You might even feel safe. However, eventually the dissatisfaction you feel will take over and you’ll realize that the only way to get “unstuck” is to take immediate action to change.

8. Make the Change

Once you choose your timetable, you’ll want to break down your changes into small steps. Track your progress and tweak your system to make sure your changes are making a difference.

For example, if you’re feeling stuck in a relationship, you’ll first evaluate where you think the concern lies. Perhaps you aren’t communicating effectively. If so, you can set a timetable of three months to overcome this challenge.

You can then break down the problem into smaller steps by reading a book on communication, talking about it with your partner, or attempting counseling sessions. As you go through these actions, you’re constantly keeping a close eye on how it affects your relationship. 

In the end you have a firm decision about your relationship’s progress and you no longer feel stuck. If you hadn’t taken action, it’d be impossible to improve!

9. Repeat the Process

Once you’ve applied this system to one aspect of your life, you can use the same strategies whenever you’re feeling stuck. Whether large or small, there are always actions you can take to break through barriers!
