10 Tips to Get You Unstuck and Unlock Your Full Potential

Often times it feels like life is happening to us and not for us. We feel a lack of control and direction. If you feel this way you are not alone. In fact, you are a part of the majority of adults going through their daily life feeling stuck, unseen, and unfulfilled.  This sounds pretty bad I know…

But the good news is you don’t have to stay feeling this way. You can learn how to get unstuck and unlock your full potential and learn to live life on your own terms. Don’t believe me? Well, let me tell you a bit about myself.

I spent my early adult working years either in school or working in the medical field.  I loved being able to help patients. I felt this was my calling but I always had a little voice in the back of my mind saying that I could do more. Fast forward to my mid 20’s. I was a mother, a medical assistant working a decent job, I was in a committed long-term relationship and I was 3 credits away from becoming a registered nurse when I realized that the words on the computer screen were constantly blurry. I noticed that when a patient was on the scale I couldn’t read their weight. When I was driving I had a hard time seeing what color the signal light was. After visiting the doctor I found out that I was suffering from a rare eye disease that was causing me to go blind. Yup, I said it, go blind. I had to leave school and quit my job. I spiraled into a deep depression. It wasn’t until I realized that I still had control and implemented these 10 steps that I was able to get unstuck and get my life back on track and start living the life I deserved. 

Are you ready to get unstuck? Let’s go through the 10 questions I asked myself to help me get out of my own way and develop a plan of action. 

1. What is your WHY?
2. Who are you?
3. What is your passion?
4. What do you like about your life?
5. What do you want to change about your life?
6. What are your goals for the next year, month, week, and day?
7. Who can support you on your journey?
8. What will you say yes to, and what will you say no to?
9. What happens if things don’t change and you don’t take action?
10. What will life look like if you take action now?

Go through each of these questions and post the answers someplace you can see them daily. Update as needed. Share your answers with the people that support you and make sure to work on your goals. This is just the 1st step but it’s a major one. You have control and you can live the life you deserve.
