There is a way!

 

When change is forced upon us it is easy to feel stuck, like there is no way forward or no solution to what is happening to us.

 

Currently there is mega change happening all over the world, our ‘normal’ life as we knew it, for most, has changed dramatically.

 

My daughter Leeza has recently written an article about how because of this change many of her business clients have struggled to find a solution to their current situations moving forward.  She believes it is because they are “stuck in their emotions it makes it harder to see a resolution.”

So I thought it may help some of my readers and clients to find a new ‘normal’ and to free them of feeling helpless and stuck.

 

The best way to find a way forward is to take a step back and ponder about what specifically is making you feel this way.  Once you have honed in on what it is you feel stuck about, that is called the big picture.  Next, start to break it down into smaller chunks to make it more manageable.  By doing this you will be able to start making small steps to get what you want.

 

For example, your gym may be closed which means you are no longer able to exercise.  The big picture is that the gym is closed so you can’t exercise in the way you normally would.  By honing in on the fact that you want to exercise, you can start to chuck it down into smaller pieces.   This could be to decide what sort of exercise you want to do.  You may decide you want to do a group fitness class and by looking online you may be able to find many free online classes that suit you.

 

Remember it may not be the way you would normally do it, it could involve an adjustment.  By adapting to changes that are forced upon us, we can have what we want, maybe just in a different way.  For example, you may want to catch-up with a group of friends which can’t happen in person but it can happen online.

 

So first establish what it is you want, then break it down into smaller more manageable chunks and be flexible in the way you get it.

 

This will help you to ‘see the forest through the trees’ and live a life feeling satisfied.
