Identifying Areas of Stagnation
Are you feeling like you’re stuck in a rut? Is your love life, career, friendships, or passion not fulfilling you anymore? It’s time to take action and shake things up. The first step is identifying the areas in your life that feel “off”. Reflect on what’s bothering you and why. Once you understand what’s going on, you can start to find a solution.
Confidence in your abilities to go after your goals can sometimes be difficult to find or keep.
It can sometimes take time to discover the confidence you have inside you. This can be especially true if you are trying something new.
I have a program that can help you to discover what is holding you back from achieving your goals as well as help you set an attainable goal related to where you are in your life and where you are trying to be.
This program also works with you to build up your confidence in being able to reach your goal.

The Importance of Having a Goal
Goals are essential for all aspects of your life. They provide focus and direct your energy towards the bigger picture. When you have a purpose for your actions, you start to see those little steps as crucial building blocks for your end goal. Life doesn’t seem so stale when you keep your end goal in mind.
Tips for Setting Goals
- Make your goals attainable. If you have lofty goals, break them down into manageable pieces.
- Write your goals down on paper and keep them handy.
- Always phrase your goals positively (i.e., “I will be smoke-free…” instead of “I will stop smoking…”)
- Be as detailed as possible when planning your goals step by step.
- Resist the temptation to procrastinate.
Taking Action
Once you’ve identified areas of your life that need change and set your goals, it’s time to take action. When things have hit a point of stagnation, there is no other choice but to act swiftly.
Strategies for Action
- Don’t Hold Yourself Back: If you know what’s holding you back, it’s time to address the issue so you can take action. Is fear holding you back? Master your fears. A life full of stagnation because of fear will do more harm than good.
- Be Consistent: Many people start changing their life and then slip back into a world of stagnation. Once you’ve started to take action, ensure it’s consistent action. This is the only way you’ll reach your life goals.
- Act Now: You already have your plan in place, and it’s broken up into small pieces. Ask yourself what you can do right now to take a positive step toward your goal. Even if you only have 15 minutes, there’s something you can do in that time.
- Take Time to Unwind: It’s easy to get excited about your new goals and dreams, but remember to schedule some “me time” as well. You need to rest and rejuvenate your body and mind to avoid physical and mental exhaustion, which will only lead you back to stagnation!
- Take Notes: Record your observations and adjust your actions along the way. This will help you figure out what’s working and what’s not.
The Power of Visualization
At the end of the day, visualize yourself breaking the chains of stagnation. Even if you’re not quite there yet, remember that it’s possible and likely when you’re willing to change!
