Life Coaching Tips and Tidbits

Are You Stuck?

So what do you do when you are stuck? Stuck about what to do, about a relationship, about your job? How do you resolve your stuckness?

Some people do nothing. They procrastinate or ignore the issue waiting for it to resolve itself. Others plunge right in and scramble for an answer, almost any answer because they feel the need for resolution as soon as possible. A few more may take baby steps and pick away at the stuck spot wanting to find out what’s underneath it all.

So, again, what do you do when you are stuck?

One very useful coaching tool is to imagine as many different perspectives as possible.

Try this next time you are stuck. Ask yourself how others might handle the situation. These “others” can be real, like your mom or dad, or not real, like Bugs Bunny or Barney. They may be from a different time like Scarlet O’Hara or even you at the age of six. Or how about another place; like Mars or at the rim of Grand Canyon looking down.

Trying on a different perspective will open your eyes to other possibilities. After all, the world is full of possibilities.
