Episode 075: Get UnStuck!

Becky and Diana discuss what it is like to be stuck and what to do about it.  We stay stuck because we are numb to the pain we're in. When we're first stuck, we thrash around and fight it. But if nothing changes we give up. We stay stuck when we lack the imagination and trust to believe there's another way out or through our situation. Visualization is a great way to move towards getting unstuck. Neural plasticity in our brains creates neural circuits and new connections in the brain which allows us to change both our thinking and the way our brains work. Sometimes we have to put aside aside things when we're stuck and pick them up at a later date. When we choose what we know over what could be, we are assuming that there are no better choices out there for us. We often create a gap in understanding our potential and the possibilities out there in the world that prevents us from moving forward. Numb is not a passive state; it constantly drains your energy. It takes some kind of catalyst, even something as small as a thought, to propel us out of stuck. While getting unstuck is usually not pleasant, the end result is!
