Get Unstuck, Live Your Truth
So much of life is simply reacting to the situations around us. Going from one task to the next hoping for peace and contentment. Sounds good, in theory, but life doesn’t quite work that way.
We’ll never feel fully satisfied, fully alive, unless we commit to making the changes our lives so desperately need to get unstuck & live our truth. But why is it so HARD?! Well, these 2 truths really struck me if we think about it:
1. We don’t know why we do what we do – psychological research shows that 90%+ of our daily decisions are made in the unconscious mind. The same area of our brain used for automatic functions like breathing or eating, is also where we store our memories that shape our values & beliefs. In essence, we don’t know why we do what we do.
2. We all have no idea who we are – another psychology fun fact, our personalities are believed to be formed between the ages of 2-6 years old, complete by the 1st grade. If you’re like the most of the world, we have very little memories of these formative years which have literally shaped how we react in this world.
So no wonder we’ll all walking around feeling constantly stuck in some area of our lives and ultimately unsatisfied!
Getting unstuck is about tackling the areas that keep us stuck. Bringing to the surface what’s holding us back, leaning into the uncomfortable and down-right painful emotions, and boldly stepping into action to make the changes our lives so desperately need.

Yeah, it’s not easy peezy lemon squeezy. But the lemons do become much better tasting as lemonade and we can savor the sweet fruits of our labor. If we stick with the lemon analogy, think of it like this:
Taste: Bitter
Stature: Closed Off, what’s in there?
Exterior: Prickly, Porus, gonna start molding soon
Taste: Satisfyingly sweet with a kick of character
Stature: Free-flowing goodness
Exterior: Abundant, beautiful, refreshing
Change is tough but it’s worth it. You’re worth it. The truth will set you free when you search out and fully embrace YOUR it.
Believe me, I still joke sometimes I wish I could just go back to being that unaware, naïve, easy going girl living in denial. But I know in my core that I’m so glad I didn’t.
Here are a few nuggets from my journey to truth:
- Be curious about your behaviors, explore your emotions, no judgment allowed
- Tackle those negative thoughts head-on, find the causes, dig deep, take note……….
- ……….then tell those lying SOB gremlins enough!
- Commit and re-commit and re-commit to growth, to feel fully you feel alive
- Be in awe of what it means to be authentically you, all of it, good/bad/ugly, all good!
- Give yourself the compassion you give to others
