Everyone feels stuck every now and again, but do you ever get the feeling like you are on a hamster wheel, and it keeps circling day in and day out and you don’t know what to do.

You do know something has got to change, but you do nothing about it. Why? Because of all the excuses that you tell yourself, you convince yourself that you are doing the right thing when you know in your heart – it is time for a change?

So, what action can be taken to navigate out of this kind of rut and find a meaningful path forward. How do you get unstuck?

In the book ‘Unfu*k yourself – Get out of your head and into your life’, the author, Gary John Bishop shares seven personal assertions that are not only powerful messages, but each one of them plays into a theme that focuses on action. If you want your life to be different, you must make it happen. So, what is getting into your way of taking the next step?

In the book ‘Getting Unstuck – How dead ends become New Paths’, author Timothy Butler shares a proven model for moving from a state of career or life impasse to a new vision based on deeper knowledge of the work and life structures that will ultimately be most meaningful. He further explains turning the corner on impasse into a vision of meaning and purpose.
