Feeling stuck and unable to
make the right choice. We feel stuck usually when we are struggling with
somethings in our life. Well the situation is not so dampening. Look, at it as
the most wonderful opportunity that you have at the moment. It is Life’s way of
saying you need to refresh and reboot yourself. Use this situation to explore
more about yourself. It will pave the way for a journey of profound inner
growth.
Create a New You
When you look at yourself and are not liking what you see.
Delve a bit deeper on the aspects that you are not liking. You will see that
you were trying to be someone who is not you. It may be at work you wanted a
certain designation or package or you were planning for a long trip and it has
not happened. You are forced to do what you were doing without any additional
benefits. However, you have been added more responsibilities. This is
frustrating you from within. You feel like yelling at everyone, however can’t
do the same. This is one of those times when you are disgruntled. At such inevitable situations, you need to change your
attitude at the way you are looking at the situation. Start with saying “I am
glad, I have something to do every-day rather than being jobless”. Thank you
life for providing me an opportunity of choices, though at the moment it seems
challenging. When you attitude changes, something in you also changes and this
is the first step towards creating a new you.
Study Your Self Deeply
We function with our body and mind and take great care of
body-mind needs. The more time we invest on the functioning of body-mind, needs
and take care of the same, the nourishment will be higher. The same applies to
our spirit as well. This has a much deeper connection within ourselves. It is
our innate feelings within which comes out as different forms of creative
expression. Knowing and understanding the voice of these expressions is a must
if we need to move towards inner happiness. This will help us to live our lives
inside-out rather than outside-in. We should not get carried away by the
musings that is happening with other or in the outside world. We need to
understand that what will help us in the long run is the fact that we should
also resonate with our inner world. That is when we can start seeing the fruits
in the outside world sooner or later. When we are in tune with our inner self then nothing can us
as our inner purpose is aligned and we will do everything that aligns with our
spirit automatically.
Emphasize on Positive
Affirmations
A good quote, thought or an idea sparks off the day
brilliantly. Take a few moments to do the same to focus on a positive
thought, intention or idea. It is found largely that it establishes an
effective mindset for the rest of the day. This was the whole intent
behind sharing “thought for the day”. As we start searching for positive words
and affirmations, we are in turn manifesting our sub-conscious search for the
positive vibes.
Appreciate Small Successes
Every cloud has a silver lining. We all have success in so
many ways. However, we fail to appreciate them in want of some bigger success.
Start appreciating small wins. Pat yourself on the back when you reach on time
for a meeting. That is also a win by itself. Make it a point to track if you
are on-time for at least 10 times consistently. That is also a win. Celebrate
the win. Keep a daily tacker of all the goals that you have set yourself
everyday and for a week. You will start seeing that all most of your targets
will be achieved when you start appreciating small wins. Adopt this game : Set a large clear jar on your desk.
Add a sticky note to it each time you experience a win or achieve a goal.
As it fills up over the weeks and months, you will be energized
by seeing your own successes. When you think and feel success, you
will start moving towards the success path. We should all be kinder to ourselves. Reward yourself when
you achieve a goal or something good happens in your business. Small daily wins
lead to big wins. Enjoy the same.
Express Your Feelings
Our Frustrations, self-judgement, self-criticism, resentment, anger,
envy, guilt, Shame, could weigh us down and bog us from inside. Giving
expression to these unexpressed emotions is a big step to unloading your
baggage and emerging as a totally new person. We have to find our ways of expressing the same. Write,
speak or enact these emotions in the form of a story. Enjoy the process when
you are doing the same. We all have natural flow of emotions and flow cycles of
energy and motivation. Part of being human is allowing ourselves to be where we
are, but making a conscious effort to move ourselves out of these lapses in
enthusiasm as soon as we can.
Share Yourself
Share your time, your attention, and skills with a person or
group of people who allow you to show up as your brightest self. One can commit
to spending time in a rehab facility, a local women’s centre, or an animal
shelter, for example. Do not expect in return for these acts of volunteering. Just do it with compassion and gratitude. Everyone has something to give and something to teach: Find
your skills. When you meet someone ask yourself: what can I contribute to help
this person grow?
Balance all Dimensions
All the dimensions in
your life must be addressed to maintain a balance. Being very good at one and
very bad at another doesn’t work. We will always feel that something is
missing. Neglecting the physical dimension and doing good at mental/spiritual
dimension or vice-versa will negatively affect you. Can we think of being
really effective without being healthy and fit? No, it doesn’t work like that.
Careful slow enhancement in all dimensions is better than an unbalanced high
enhancement. You have to be accountable for yourself and be willing to take
action.
