How to Get Unstuck in 2022
The last two years might have felt like it was going to take you down, but it didn’t. You’re still here!
Can I get an amen?!
But even though you’re here, it doesn’t mean you aren’t feeling defeated, battered, and bruised by all that we’ve endured.
We are all slightly worse for the wear and our world is weary right now. And rightly so.
2020 knocked us off our feet and presented us with challenges no one could even fathom. 2021 felt a little bit like groundhogs day, and now here we are nearing the end of the first month of 2022.
So how can we make this year different? Unfortunately, we didn’t wake up on January 1st with life back to normal, but we can make a choice to make this year different and purposeful. We can choose to get clear about what we want to do with the choices we have. We can choose to not stay stuck where we are.
But…in order to get unstuck in 2022, we need to start the year with purpose. With intention.
As we start off the new year, these easy steps will help you curb stress:
1. Get Clear About What You Want
Getting clear about what you want is the most important step in the growth process. Our vision is the foundation to build on. Without a vision, we spin in circles, aimlessly following along as others dictate our time and agenda.
2. Create A Plan
Yes, a plan - remember those things we used to be able to make before 2020 took over? Well, it’s time to put those things back in action. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, fancy, or impressive. Your plan just has to move you forward, one step at a time. Sometimes your steps will be big, and sometimes they’ll be small. It’s okay! It just takes one step!
3. Take Action
Okay, taking action can be the hardest part. That plan you made…it does no good if we don’t execute them. If our best-laid plans sit on the shelf we’ll remain exactly where we are. If starting is the hardest part for you, enlist the help of others to keep you accountable to your goals. We were never meant to do it alone. Remember, you can take teeny-tiny steps. Just take them.
I know you know all this, right? Sometimes it just takes a friend to help us see the forest through the trees.
But the truth is, if you don’t know what you want, you certainly won’t follow through on your plan, or take action. You’ll continue to stay frustrated, dejected, and apathetic. You’ll stay stuck in self-doubt or fear of failure.
You deserve to live life on purpose. Let me say that again, you deserve to live life on purpose.
“But I don’t know my purpose or what I want.” If this question strikes a nerve with you, don’t worry – I’ve got you covered. You’re not alone and you don’t have to stay in this confusion.
