    434: How to Get Unstuck (replay)

    Have you ever felt stuck in life, like you dislike where you are but think you have no other options?   This is one of my least favorite places to be (and I’ve been there many times). Being unhappy feels bad enough…but what truly feels terrible is thinking there’s no way out.   And when we believe there’s no way out, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.    That’s because it’s not our circumstances that keep us stuck, but our thoughts and beliefs. Stuck thoughts lead to stuck energy, which paralyzes us.    To get unstuck, we have to interrupt this thought pattern and shift our energy so we can move forward!   In this episode, I’m giving you six of my favorite ways to do that. These are the tools I turn to when I’m feeling stuck…and if you know me, you know I like things that I can start applying right away. So, if you’re ready to get unstuck and start seeing transformation TODAY, this is the show for you! Listen to Discover: 6 practical tools to get unstuck The power of acceptance How to manifest your future reality today Why complaining keeps us stuck How to practice gratitude for true transformation Why journaling is such a powerful tool for moving energy The #1 way to change your life   I’ve realized over the years that the way we change our lives is through the small choices we make every day.   These small steps – things like gratitude, watching our thoughts, being honest with ourselves – done with consistency transform us over time.   If you’re feeling stuck and discouraged, I’ve been there, and I get it.   But I KNOW you can change your life, because I’ve changed mine using the tools in this episode…and if I can do it, you can too!    Which of these tools will you choose today to start moving toward the life you want?   ​​“You’ve got to own what’s in your life.” – Michelle Chalfant   “Acceptance starts to move our energy out of a stuck place.” – Michelle Chalfant   “In order to really get unstuck and create change, you’ve got to get really, really clear about what you want instead.” – Michelle Chalfant   “We can manifest anything – anything at all. But you’ve got to use your mind…to get out of the place that you are in.” – Michelle Chalfant   “Your thoughts are very powerful, but the spoken word is even more powerful. When you speak about your limitations, you’re anchoring into your current reality your limitations.” – Michelle Chalfant   “Think about how much energy you’re giving the thing that you don’t want anymore…We want to talk about what’s coming.” – Michelle Chalfant   “Many studies have even shown that journaling can be similar or feel similar to going to a therapist or coach. Because what happens is, when we’re journaling, we’re purging.” – Michelle Chalfant   “Life, my friends, is a choice. What are you going to choose for yourself? Are you going to choose to go into that victim seat or are you going to choose to feel more empowered?” – Michelle Chalfant   “The way we change our lives is to be intentional with all of our choices.” – Michelle Chalfant    “You’re the only one that can transform your life. You just have to take time and choose to put yourself first and get unstuck and change your life. You can do this.” – Michelle Chalfant     Resources from this Episode Share the Love – Review The Adult Chair® Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-adult-chair/id941317634  MORE ADULT CHAIR   The Adult Chair® Website https://theadultchair.com      Membership: The Academy of Awakening theacademyofawakening.com   Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant/    The Adult Chair® Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair/    YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant
