3 Powerful Ways to Get Unstuck & Reclaim Your Dreams Now

Heal the Invisible Wounds Behind Your Mask

Have you ever felt stuck? Do you feel stuck right now?

You’re doing all the right things but it feels as though you’re simply spinning your wheels.

Has your car ever been stuck in the mud or in the snow? As your race the engine and your frustration builds as your wheels continue to spin as you sink deeper and deeper into the rut.

Emotionally are you feeling that way? You race your engine and rather than moving forward it feels as though you are sinking deeper and deeper into a rut.

How did you get your car out of the rut? Did you get a tow? Were you able to put cardboard, sand or something else by your tire to give you traction and enable you to get your car out?

You had to do something different.

You’ve heard it 100’s of times.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein

You were only able to get your car unstuck when you did something differently. If you want to get you unstuck in your life and with your dreams you have to do something differently.

Powerful Way #1 to Get Unstuck & Reclaim Your Dreams Now -Shut Down the Voices & Dump All the Mental Garbage You Are Packing Around

What destructive legacies from the past are you carrying around? Some of us are lugging huge boulders of abuse, abandonment or parental addiction from our childhood. The inevitable destructive voices that accompany those traumas often continue to play in an endless loop in the back of your head. When you are constantly hearing you are a loser and are worthless it creates a huge rut in your psyche that feels impossible to get out of.

Some are carrying a more modest assortment of smaller rocks. Perhaps these rocks were acquired as a result of the carelessness or insensitivity of another. They leave a rut that isn’t as deep and voices that may be less hurtful but the rut and the voices are still there.

So just like getting your car unstuck required you to do something different, getting your psyche out of a rut will require you to do something different.

Know that hope and healing is possible but it will require courage.

Powerful Way #2 to Get Unstuck & Reclaim Your Dreams Now -Choose to be Courageous

When you are alone in the woods and your car is stuck in a rut the natural reaction is fear. What if you are stuck there until the snow melts or the mud dries out? Will anyone find you? Will hypothermia set in? Our minds are absolute masters at creating scenarios about all that could go wrong.

It takes mental fortitude and courage to think outside the box and find a solution.

“Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the mastery of fear.” Mark Twain

It takes courage to step into the unknown…. far more courage than to get your car out of that rut.

What Does the Courage to Get Out of Your Rut Look Like?

It is the willingness to do something scary you have never done before.

It is the willingness to stop pushing away memories and go back to a hurtful place so you can unlock the chains that continue to hold you there.

It is accepting that they are what is keeping you stuck.

It is the wisdom to accept that these childhood experiences were not of your choosing … you are not responsible for them … but you are responsible for how you choose to allow them to continue to impact your life in the present.

Then there are the times when the chains that bind you are the result of your own choices. Own the choice. Accept that you cannot change it. Learn from it. You are responsible for how you allow those choices to define you going forward.

Be courageous. Choose to break the chains.

Powerful Way #3 to Get Unstuck & Reclaim Your Dreams Now -Take Off Your Mask

We all have a public persona and a private persona. The public persona is what we allow others to see. The private persona is who we are with ourselves.

Hers is the crazy thing.

We understand that frequently the public persona we see is a contrived mask designed to present the image we want others to see as to who we are.

What we rarely see is that we may also hide from ourselves behind a mask.

It is easy to understand while we might want to project an image to the world but why would we want to project a contrived image inward to ourselves.

When there are things in our past that we are uncomfortable with, regardless of whether those things are the result of our own choices or the choices of others, hiding from them often feels more comfortable than facing them.

This is the #1 reason why people live on auto-pilot. Except that is not really living, it is simply existing.

We don’t need to be a completely open book. There are things that it is fully appropriate to keep private. When we create a public persona that is inconsistent with who we are at our essential core we know we are not being real. That lack of authenticity will ring as clear as a bell.

The #1 key to a healthy relationship with yourself and with others is to be authentic with yourself and with them. When you live with the integrity of your inner and outer personas being in harmony not only have you created a foundation for healthy relationships, you have created a foundation for your dreams to become your reality.
