We all have bad habits. Some we know we should change and some we don’t even recognise as bad habits. They become so much a part of our lifestyle but are they the barriers that are holding us back and keeping us stuck? 

How many do you identify with?

1. Keeping plastic bags in plastic bags

3. Eating between meals or constantly eating
4. Sitting down in front of the TV all evening.
5. Making decisions based on what other people may think 
6. Smoking
7. Eating junk food because it's cheap or just because you like it.
8. Indecision
9. Piling your plate up with carbs Eg Rice, Mac n cheese, potatoes, etc
10. Buying bargains because they are bargains not because you need them. 
11. Buying offers like 3 for 2 even though you only need 1. 
12. Always saying "basically", "like", "you know," or "yeah"

In my previous post, I wrote about being stuck and I gave you 25 different areas where you can be stuck in your life. 

Today it’s all about becoming unstuck. If you practice these things daily, then you will have less chance of finding yourself being stuck and going nowhere. Then you can smile for days on end!

Here we go:

1. Practice gratitude. Look at what you do have and not what you don’t.
2. Don’t limit yourself. You really can do anything you set your mind to. Get that imagination juice pumping and commit to making a change.
3. Jump. Yes, Jump. Sometimes if you don’t just jump you will end up going nowhere. You don’t need all the answers now but you won’t get anywhere standing still.
4. Take a tiny step. If jumping is too much then take a small step in the right direction. Then take another.
5. Go get yourself a makeover. Hair, make-up, clothes, massage, facial, nails. Do it all. Then do a photoshoot after. Smile!!
6. Make a change. Being stuck...

Life begins at 40! We hear this often and I even say it myself but for many, it’s a daunting decade of worry, frustration, loneliness, and loss. What starts out as excitement and exploration ends up with broken dreams, a loss of direction and hot flashes.

You really don’t recognise what happened to the 'you' that used to be so cool 15-20 years ago and now you feel stuck, trapped, lost or even invisible.

This is not for those lucky few who are unstuck and living life just as they planned it to be, but for those who know there’s something missing but can’t quite figure out what.  To the outside world, you look happy and together but inside you are unfulfilled and restless.

This list of 25 areas where you might find yourself stuck, will help you to identify the issue/s that may be stopping you from realising your true potential. 

Let me know if you resonate with any of these and let’s discuss it. 

Are you:

1. Stuck in your past 
2. Trapped...
