Shaunie Sanders
Recognize that you're feeling stuck is the fist step into moving towards progress.
We’ve all been there—feeling stuck, unmotivated, and wondering if we’ll ever get out of this rut. In this episode of the Girl Take Note podcast, Shaunie dives deep into this all-too-common experience, especially during the holiday season, and how you can work through it.
So, why do the holidays often leave us feeling sluggish and unproductive? Shaunie opens up about her own struggles and how she’s learned to break free. Spoiler alert: It’s not about overhauling your life overnight but focusing on small, manageable wins.
Here’s a breakdown of the episode's key takeaways to help you regain your spark:
Why Do We Feel Stuck, and What Can We Do About It?
Recognize You’re Stuck
Admitting you feel stuck is the first step toward making a change. It’s okay to feel this way, and once you acknowledge it, you can begin to take action.
Identify the Root Cause
Are you burnt out? Feeling overwhelmed by high expectations? Lacking progress on your goals? Understanding why you’re feeling this way can help you map out a solution.
Celebrate Small Wins
Big accomplishments start with small steps. Instead of focusing on the mountain ahead, take time to appreciate the small victories. Each one is a building block toward bigger success.
Build a Routine
Motivation loves discipline! Create a daily or weekly routine that prioritizes your most important tasks, but don’t forget to include time for rest and reflection.
Take Breaks
Don’t underestimate the power of rest. Giving yourself permission to step away can refresh your mind and make room for creativity and renewed energy.
Find Inspiration in Your Surroundings
Whether it’s changing up your environment, listening to motivating stories, or surrounding yourself with people who uplift you, your surroundings can be a powerful tool in reigniting your motivation.
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Shaunie emphasizes the importance of community and seeking out inspiration from others. Whether it’s reading about someone else’s journey or simply talking to a friend, hearing other people's stories can remind you that getting stuck is temporary.
As the holiday season continues to pick up pace, don’t let feelings of being stuck overshadow your joy and progress. Focus on the small tasks, embrace routine, and when in doubt—take that well-deserved break!
