Are you feeling stuck?
In your work or your business? With your health or relationship? If so, you’re not alone! Everyone feels this way sometimes – but most people don’t know why or what to do about it!
While there can be many reasons why we feel stuck, a key one is that our brain thinks it’s safer to stay in the comfort zone of our business or life – even if that’s not true!
You see, our brains were designed for survival. That’s what kept our ancestors safe from tigers and bears. The one’s that didn’t pay attention to changes in the environment around them were usually the ones that became a meal for a predator or a trophy for another tribe. Yikes!
So even though most of us don’t have to worry about being pounced on by tigers anymore, our modern brains now see things like change, especially rapid change, as being a threat. Our comfort zone feels safe – even if it’s actually not working for us anymore – and moving out of the familiar now feels like a threat to our brain!
OK, now that you know why we go through periods of feeling stuck, what can we do about it?
Well, here are 3 simple but powerful action steps
aka pattern disruptors you can do to start moving forward now!
1.Get up and move your body! Go for a walk, exercise, do some gardening or dance to your favorite tunes like nobody’s watching! This helps create happy hormones and neurotransmitters in your brain. It also literally gets you moving!
2.Here’s a great game you can play if thinking about making a change feels daunting. It’s called “Wouldn’t it be nice if…” Here are some examples:
♥“Wouldn’t it be nice if I had a really productive day at work?”
♥“Wouldn’t it be nice if I felt inspired to exercise every day?”
♥“Wouldn’t it be nice if traffic was light when I pick up the kids today?”
3.Of course, my favorite pattern disruptor is Emotional Freedom Techniques aka EFT Tapping! I use it every day for little and big things. If you want to learn more about it and how to start using it yourself, Click Here!
