I hate feeling stuck – stuck in traffic, stuck in the check out line that doesn’t move, or stuck in the subway between stations. The worst is feeling stuck in your own life. It sucks. I particularly hate the ‘you suck’ voice that becomes the interior soundtrack of my stuck brain.
Well if you don’t like what’s on, change the channel.
A southern gentleman with a penchant for coveralls said that to me once. It wasn’t exactly a radical idea. But the point was I had the power to change what I didn’t like. I might not make the programming but I can choose what I watch – or don’t watch. Even when we don’t have control, we always have choices.
Sometimes getting unstuck is as simple as choosing to do something. Anything. But something different, a change from your personal status quo. The changes don’t have to be radical. If you sit at a desk all day, go for a walk on your lunch break. If you’re a java junkie try a week of tea instead. If your routine is numbing you out, have a fifteen minute dance party when you get home from work. Dance it out, and dance like no one is watching.
