How to Get Unstuck and Maximize Your Motivation
Feeling stuck? Here’s a list of proven strategies to help you get out of the rut.
I remember once, in my corporate career, where I was totally stuck. It felt as if I had painted myself in to a corner - and I had no clue how to get the hell out of there.
Even now, when I think back to that day when I told my colleague about that exact feeling, it almost sucks the energy out of me.
I just knew I had to get out of that position, as soon as possible.
And at the same time I was scared; "what if the leap I take will make it even worse compared to where I am now..."
But I leapt.
And it got worse.
So I leapt again.
And it got worse.
But maybe those bad leaps were exactly what I needed to take me to where I am today. Because after those big, bad leaps, I decided to hand in my resignation.
I was done. I had to get out of that (toxic) bubble.
And I had no clue where I was heading.
But, I had learnt something from all of those really bad decisions. Learnings that I wouldn't have had, if I hadn't accepted those corporate positions.
I learnt...
🍀 how not to treat your team members.
🍀 how important sharing information and empowerment is.
🍀 how toxic inner circles of trust can be.
I learnt who I want to BE.
You don't need luck to get unstuck. In truth, you just have to take a leap. And then one. And then another one. Until you get "unstuck".
And every LEAP starts with a small step.
And I don't mean that you should make a "bad" leap that takes you to a worse situation than where you are today. What I do mean is that you have to take steps to take you where you want to be. And some of those will be bad decisions. But if you don't take any steps at all. You will remain stuck.
So what can those "small steps" look like:
Book that trip
Make that call
Make that post
Update your CV
Send that email
Book that course
Book that meeting
Send that connect request
Direct Message that person
Update your LinkedIn profile
Create an Instagram Business Profile
. . . the list can be endless
And why do I say THAT call, or THAT course etc.?
Because it's been at the back of your head for a long time. You just haven't done anything about it yet.
I would encourage you to do that TODAY. Most of the things in the list above take less than 10 minutes to do.
Good 🍀 LUCK 🍀!

P.s. I wrote toxic in brackets above, because not all positions I have held were in toxic environments. Some of them were really cool, and supportive. But over the years, from start to finish of my corporate career, I had been in some really toxic, and back stabbing departments.
