I'm Stuck & I Can't Get Out!!

Yo! Is there an area that you are feeling 'stuck' in at the moment.  A relationship, a situation, a job?  Do you feel like you don't have any good options for getting 'unstuck' so you must stay put?

You are never 'stuck' in a situation.  You may choose to stay somewhere, unpleasant or not.  When you deny that you are choosing where you are you miss out on being in charge of your life and owning the lessons that are designed specifically for you.  Whether it be work or love, being stuck is never true.  In reality we stay where we are because it serves us in some way or another.  When we are finished we are finished.  There is little that can be done when anyone has had enough.

I have had many jobs in my life and some I have loved and others I have loathed.  I have felt like I hadn't a choice, whether it was due to 'needing' the money or feeling responsible for my duties at the position.  I have spent long hours working for someone else's dream and resenting the lack of praise or support.  I have felt like I 'had' to do something and didn't have a choice.  I have been a victim in my own mind.  In reality, I was where I wanted to be.  As soon as I was done with a job that was no longer serving me the choice to leave came quickly and there was no wavering.  I was happy to move on without much care.  The same can be said for relationships for me.  Not that I don't care, but when I am no longer in a place where I am being nourished in some way survival instinct kicks in and the choice to leave becomes clear and doable.

Where are you feeling stuck?  Look at the situation/relationship and be honest about what you are getting out of it.  Maybe it is attention.  Maybe it is hope.  Maybe it is status.  Maybe it is money.  Regardless of what it is, knowing and owning it changes everything.  Once you admit that you are doing what you do on purpose you can, on purpose, do something else… when you are ready.
