I get stuck often. Maybe it’s overwhelm. Maybe it’s resistance. Maybe she’s born with it.
But for whatever reason, sometimes I just get stuck. I can’t seem to do the thing that really needs doing.
But in my super productive and busy life, that isn’t gonna fly. I don’t have a whole lotta time to dedicate to the art of distraction.
I had to develop a way to move past the resistance or internal “I DON'T WANNA” temper tantrum.
I had to develop a strategy to recognize my stubborn resistance to doing the important thing.
So I did.
(I probably developed it as a way to distract myself from doing the big, terrible, horrible task and inadvertently did the BTHT anyway).
The Get The F Unstuck strategy is to make a little step by step plan to move on through the productivity hissy fit.
You must realize you are in a state of resistance and then you just do these three things:
Step 1 - do something for yourself. For me that’s gonna be journaling or Yoga Nidra (aka Nap Yoga).
Step 2 - do something fun. For me, this might be photography, or writing something silly (like this post).
Step 3 - DO THE THING. Get stuck in and move the needle.
Recently my menopause ravaged body decided to through a hormonal wobble and me week went like this:
See a dog that needs a home - cry.
Think about dogs in shelters - cry.
Accidentally spill my dog's water - definitely cry.
Anyway, during this hormone-induced wobble, I knew I had to write the next chapter of my new book and so I made a wee plan.
Step 1 - cry. Obvs.
Step 2 - take pictures of the Lake I live on, and edit the pictures and post them
Step 3 - write my book.
I followed the strategy.
I did something for me. I did something I love, and then I did the bloody thing I needed to.
So if you ever need to move through some hormones, a productivity slump, or just a big ugly task you’ve been putting off, try my hack.
1 - do something for you.
2 - do something you love.
3 - do the thing.
If you have a BTHT you need to do but need a Misty in your corner to get it done. Book a chat with me stat: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/coffeechatwithmisty
