Simple Steps To Get Unstuck and Stay Motivated
 |
There are times when we feel stuck. It’s a natural thing that we all seem to go through from time to time. It can happen in all kinds of areas where we want to make progress. For example, you want your network marketing business to grow so you know you should be making follow up phone calls, doing marketing and promotion, writing newsletters and blog posts.
Sometimes when building your business you can find yourself feeling stuck wondering which way to go. You have to figure out which ways to market and promote your business. Once you figure out those things, you need to use trial and error to test out what works for you. You may even find that you need to totally change directions. The thing is, you can’t change directions until you get moving. Think of driving a car. The car has to be moving before you can turn in any direction, whether a slight turn or a full turn.
The key to getting unstuck is to just start moving forward. Motivation never starts automatically. It kicks in once you get moving. Even if on some days the steps are small. Just take steps.
I love that quote by Joe Schroeder, “You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it GOING!” The way to get anywhere is to start from where you are right now, learn and make adjustments as you go. If you don’t start moving towards your goals, you will stay eternally stuck. Even the smallest steps stir more steps forward.
An example used by writers is to just start writing. Don’t worry about what you are writing. Don’t over analyze. Just start pouring out words on a subject. Once you get the thoughts flowing, more ideas come to you.
The same applies to other things. Picking up the phone and calling someone when you are not in the mood can seem like an impossible task. Once you make that first phone call, the mood lifts and the next call gets easier. Exercise is another example. It can be hard to get off the couch and get an exercise session started but once you do, it is easy to keep going. I often trick myself by saying, “I’ll just do 5 minutes worth.” I always stay on for more.
EFT can be a really wonderful tool to help get motivated and get unstuck.
Here’s and EFT Script to help you get motivated:
Apply 1 – 3 drops of Release oil on your fingertips, then tap on the Karate Chop Point with the oiled up fingertips. As you are tapping the EFT Points, you will have enough remaining oil to carry to all the other points.
While tapping the Karate Chop Point, Repeat 3 Times:
Even though I am feeling stuck and unmotivated, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I don’t know what to do , I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I’m stuck and don’t feel like doing anything, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
You can add something specific you need to do if you want.

Hi Melodie, stay7ing motivated is so hard. Especially when you blog everyday for a really long time. Content is hard to come by so we have to always try and be motivated to find new topics.

Very true Brian. Especially when you have several blogs. It’s hard to keep them all going.
I know lol I don’t even know how you do it. Part of you must love it.

Yes. I do love it.
Hi Melodie,
Thank you for this great discussion. Interestingly, I have just written a blog post on ‘Emotional Detachment’.
I like your practical tips here! Indeed, we can’t change directions until we get moving. What I have found helpful is to have the dream displayed in my mobile phone. When I focus on the end goals, I feel energised!
Also, ACTION leaves no room for feeling inadequate or low. The ‘Just do it’ philosophy helps me a lot.
Thanks, Melodie
I appreciate you!

The ‘Just do it’ philosophy is a good one. We will make mistakes but we need to move ahead anyway.
Excellent read Melodie, thank you. Couldn’t agree more about motivation kicking in when you take action.
The more action you take, the more it snowballs.
It’s the getting going part that’s tough for all of us.
Appreciate the effort you put into this blog.
Take care,
Brad

Hi Brad. Yea. I love that snowball effect.
I’ve never had a problem staying motivated. When you believe in what you are doing, it’s not too hard to stay motivated. I will admit that when you aren’t getting immediate results things can get frustrating. But if you believe in yourself and your business, you simply keep pressing forward.

Exceptional idea Melodie. When your a true blooded marketer,you should have all the got and confidence to engage and motivate people.Stand still when you fail,failing is not the end of everything it is a lesson to gain.
I love the “I’ll just do 5 minutes worth” trick! I finished all 60 days of beachbody’s Insanity workout and I wanted to stay in shape but I didn’t feel like doing it 6 days a week anymore. I’d tell myself, ok, ill just do the warmup into the stretch because that’s pretty intense… but by the time the stretch was over, I was motivated to complete the whole thing!
Thanks for responding to my email so quickly, I sent you a facebook friend request

Yea. Once you get started it’s so easy to keep going.
Motivation for me boils down to two things. How mch you truly want something and how many useless distractions you have. I find the only way I can truly motivate myself towards achieving a goal is to want it with all of my being. If I only half want somethng, then my attempts will be half assed and I wil fail.
I hate feeling stuck in any part of my life. Certainly, many of us have felt stuck in the all important area of financial abundance. I was very encouraged when someone reminded me that we are never truly stuck. We are always in motion. We just keep hitting the fast forward button followed by the rewind button over and over again, thus getting the same results. Even if we increased hitting the fast forward button by only 10%, we would feel a dramatic shift in our lives. And the good news is, of course, EFT is a premier tool for shifting the balance by relieving any conflicts about moving forward in any part of our lives.
