You are so right! We all want to be happy, healthy and surrounded by abundance, but it’s so easy to stay stuck right where we are!

Wonderful suggestions for getting unstuck.

I have realized that there are periods in life when I have needed to learn before doing. I went through one of those phases last year. I think it’s important that people not just “do” without first knowing because uneducated/uninformed will also get your nowhere. You’re right in that you have to make sure you’re not stuck in learning forever, but I really do believe there’s a case to be made for stopping “doing” when it’s not working and learning and then resuming doing again.

Even when there is no visible action and no visible change, it doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. There is time for action and there is time for contemplation.

I you’re at the point where you’re reading books, paying for BS seminars watching videos and buying snake oil than THAT is the problem in and of it self. You’ll NEVER find the answer. STOP READING and looking OUTSIDE for the answer. Until you take action nothing will change. It’s MUCH MUCH MUCH EASIER than you think to take action. It’s starts by deciding IT’S TIME. It’s starts by realizing you’re making excuses for yourself, you’re being lazy, you’re wanting to not take responsibility for yourself and for your life and for your lack of happiness. Here’s an idea, as tough as you perceive it to be (and it is 90% your perception), wake up tomorrow early, take five minutes to lay back in bed and get yourself together, then GET UP, SHOWER, GET DRESSED in decent clothes, STAY OFF THE INTERNET and spend the morning, JUST THE MORNING, not planning, but actually DOING something towards bettering your situation and life. Take ACTION, you do not need to be told what action to take, YOU KNOW what you need to do, the steps you must take to living again. Those three hours in the morning spent DOING rather than thinking, hoping and wanting will revitalize your soul people! You’ll fell soooooooooooooooo good that you didn’t waste the morning away worrying but kept your mind and body busy LIVING LIFE. Those few hours will inspire you to do even more the next day. Oh, you’ll likely feel like laying in bed the next morning or getting back to your routine, to your comfort zone of not living life, of fearing life but you follow your heart, the heart that tells you you need to get up today like you did yesterday and get on with life. Each day will get easier and easier, before you know it you’ll be out of your funk and back in the game of life. I’m taking days! not weeks or months. In a few short days, if you take action every day before you know it you get a high from it, you feel a worth again, you start working your dreams instead of using them as a crutch. Do it! Stop reading and watching and start BEING AGAIN!

Actually I am wondering about the Sedona method – it looks like beeing the very core of ZEN meditation. I am wondering why giving the same thing different names…

I have been reading and listening to Eckhart Tolle for the last 2 months and have found it really resonating with me. An important piece of the puzzle–that seemed to have no clear resolution has been procrastination. Although, I knew it came from anxiety over the future, it was still a huge challenge. After googling “Tolle and procrastination”, I came upon this insightful comment and realized that resistance was my issue. I visualized no resistance to procrastination and felt an immediate relief. Thank you for your insight.

I agree a lot with what both you and your commentors say – too much intellectual knowledge (allegedly called power but only potential power) and not enough action

The Secret has concerned me hugely is this regard, whereby people think that having happy and positive thoughts will improve their lives and solve their problems – probably yes to former and no to the latter!

As a consequence, I am very interested in what Stephen Pierce is doing with Bob Proctor – see here: http:www.NigelPendrigh.Com/rights
Pierce is definiately a man knowledge and of action = Power

Best wishes

Hi I appreciate the ideas of this article. I have spent many years helping people get unstuck as a mental health professional. Depression, a lack of clarity where we are going, no plan of action, poor diet, emotional overload and many other things cause us to get stuck. Some of the best things to do include: get up and move around to get the energy flowings; seek counseling; start an exercise program; get a coach, find your purpose and make a plan; spend time going inward and journal to gain awareness, to open the flow etc. Find ways to come back alive.

I am a big fan of Tolle and his writings. He is a highly conscious human being and able to help us to be more awake and aware.

I write ablog about life, consciousness, peace, purpose and passion at http://www.explorelifeblog.com
