I was horribly stuck and then I clicked my heels.

Have you ever been stuck?  I mean really stuck.  The kind where you don’t know you’re stuck until you’re out?  Of course, we all get stuck at some point or another and it’s easy to do.  Staying in an unhealthy relationship,  a bad job, not staying in shape, etc. … even small things, like our habits of the day — these are all signs of us getting stuck.  When we get stuck we feel paralyzed about a decision and unsure what choice to make.  When we’re stuck, things feel immovable, entrenched, even hopeless. The good news is, they aren’t.

We are our own change agents.  We humans are extremely adept at getting unstuck, at seeing the same thing in new ways, discovering new insights and changing our attitudes.  But we need some tools to create that movement.  We need to shed the fear that comes with change and getting unstuck. 

Recently I got unstuck from something.  I’d wanted the change for a long time, and had seen glimpses of myself in the unstuck state,  but those visions didn’t last long.  Why? Because I was filled with fear of change and I didn’t understand that I had a choice about being unstuck.  Haven’t I seen the Wizard of Oz a thousand times — I had the ruby red slippers!

So, if you ever feel like you’re banging your head against a wall or just unhappy with what’s happening in your life or who you’re with … don’t just surrender and settle.  Don’t think that it’s normal.  Visualize what the change will look like and make a decision to get there.

We have the power to change anything in our lives – really.  But it takes confidence, the love and support of those around you (you can always count on me!!) and the knowledge that it’s your choice.  I strongly believe that the universe (or however you want to describe it) can’t give you what you really need unless you open yourself up to it.

We are here to live our best life.  And, in order to do that, we need to get unstuck, move away from the negative and live for the collective good.  Then, just keep your eyes open.  The rest will be laid right in front of you!

Have a fantastic day!
