Hi Everyone, my name is Rich and I am your host. This is episode one of my many adventures with you. Welcome to the Rich Life Podcast.
I spent half of my adult life as a teacher and the other half helping people and business grow as a manager. Recently I find myself wanting to reach more people as a way of giving back to the many blessings that I am receiving right now. I want to make the world a better place one person at a time.
I don't have it all figured out yet and I am also a work in progress, but i can say that I have already been through a lot and I would like to share these experiences, because maybe somewhere out there, someone needs an inspiration today.
On this podcast, we'll talk about life, love, growth, travel, finance, career, discovering yourself, falling down, rising up, and basically anything under the sun.
I am not your guru, I am just a regular guy, given one life like everyone else but i'm trying to live it according to my terms. Stay with me on this journey and hopefully, let's rise to the top together.
Today I would like to talk about being stuck and how to get out of it. Most of us have felt this more than once in our lifetime. Some of us get stuck for short amount of time, some stays in the rut for longer times and some finds themselves back from time to time on the same situation.
Feeling stuck gives us a feeling of anxiety and when this happens, our judgment and logic is clouded by our emotions making it more impossible for us to move forward.
Here are 5 steps on how to get unstuck:
Acknowledge that you are stuck at the moment. Take note that I used the term at the moment because being stuck is just a temporary state. Once you acknowledge and admit that you are in that situation, then you can figure out where exactly you stand and from there you can go anywhere you want to go.
Do not Panic. We would often hear the saying "when emotions are high, logic is low". Whenever you feel stuck, use your breathing techniques to come back at the moment. You can breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for another 4 seconds and breathe out for 8 seconds. Restart your system and regain control of your self. Tell yourself that you are in control and that you are the master ofyour own life. Once you have yourself together, decide to start moving to a better place. Make it your decision to live life the way you want it.
Identify your goal. After acknowledging that you are not in the best situation and identifying where you presently are, you can now identify where you would like to go. This does not have to be some big goal, it could be as simple as waking up tomorrow and feeling more excited about life, or just hitting the gym two or thrice a week, or it could be just finally going to that vacation that you have always dreamed of.
Take Action! Move, you are not a rock or a tree. It could feel scary but this is exactly what you need to do to be unstuck. This is what you really want and desire. Once you take that first move, you will realize that its a lot easier than it is. It is like breaking the static energy and once you start having momentum, there's no stopping you.
Commit yourself to positive change. Once you decide that you would like to changing, then you have to fully commit yourself into making it come true. Im not saying that it is always easy but remember how it is so much harder to be stuck. Keep learning from your mistakes and be better everytime you fall. Being unstuck is not just reaching a single destination, its the journey of living a quality and happy life according to your own terms.
You are the master of your own life and remember that life is always happening for you and not just to you. Take control of the wheel. Life is a gift from God and our Father would like us to live an awesome life.
That's it for episode one of the Rich Life podcast, My name is Rich and I hope that the steps I share become useful to you and I wish you all the best this life could offer. Remember, you are a victor and not a victim.
Let's rise together. See you at top!
