No matter how much you love doing what you’re doing, you will eventually get stuck. Everyone gets stuck once in a while, but unfortunately, some are perpetually stuck at work when they should be Racing!
The KEY to moving from the stalled lane to the Fast lane of the work highway is to make a decision to take action. Any Action even wrong action is a million times better than no action!
Indecision is the Mother of all failures and the biggest reason why we stay stuck. You must make a decision even if it’s a wrong decision because at least you are eliminating options and each failed attempt gives you clues to what to do next.
Here is a short list of actions you can take when stuck:
Change how you dress for work – dress up! This is my favorite go-to action step when I’m stuck. When you dress for success, it affects your energy levels and gives you a psychological boost.
Fast for the day or as a minimum eat really clean. I like to do protein drinks – all liquid for 24 hours to shake the rust off.
Rearrange your workspace. I do this at least once a year to get rid of the clutter, clean every area and change the furniture. Do this after work one day, and you will be amazed at how it changes how you feel.
Change your most basic routines: Come in early to work, take a different route to and from work, and stay off your phone and social media until AFTER you get some work done.
Dial up the intensity on your exercise program by joining a group or getting a trainer for a short period of time. This will help force you out of your slump.
Volunteer with a local non-profit to serve food or work with those in distress. It will amaze you how you can change your life by focusing on the needs of others.
These are just a few simple things you can do right now that will affect your attitude and energy in a positive way in seconds!
