Three Simple Steps

Overcoming hesitation and avoidance to get unstuck.

I was stuck.

This is how I got unstuck.

Since starting this newsletter, my energy and inspiration have been extraordinary. Every day the ideas have been flowing.

That is until yesterday.

Nothing was coming.

My

mind

was

blank.

We’ve all been there, feeling the pressure to get something done.

It is especially true for essential things like following through on my commitment to write something for you almost daily.

It can create uncertainty for us and causes us to avoid, distract, and procrastinate.

Here are the three simple things I did to get unstuck.

1. Fashion a focused space.

   Pick a place that becomes your spot to focus. Mine is my desk.

2. Meditate on meaning & acknowledge feelings.

   How are you feeling? Why? For me, I was excited about the recent response to Ikiquest and was interpreting that ‘feeling’ as being anxious.

3. Do the smallest next step.

   Kaizen. The smallest possible step. It might be something as small as opening your laptop or taking out a sheet of paper.

I wrote yesterday’s article on Shu Ha Ri using this method.
