Getting Unstuck – Challenge of Weight Loss, Making Money, and Improving Wellness
Have you ever felt like you’re behind this big car that’s stuck in the mud? You keep pushing harder and harder but you still seem stuck? Instead of focusing on why we’re stuck, it’s much more effective to focus on what we want and where we’re going. So here is a simple three-step technique anyone can use to get “unstuck” and put more zest and vitality into their life! And, speaking of cars, we call this the KAR Technique. And you can drive this KAR to Changeville whenever you’re ready to change! Take any challenge you face; weight loss, wellness, well-being, money, energy, fitness, sex, or all of the above! To revitalize your life, to get unstuck, and to get back on the road to your dreams begin by breaking down the issue that’s keeping you stuck into the following components:

1. KNOWLEDGE
There’s plenty of information online about any topic you can think of but turning that information into knowledge means you have to do whatever is necessary to integrate what you learned into sustainable skills. Skills that will eventually turn into success habits! For example, we all know how to lose weight; it’s simple – just take in less calories than we burn. Unfortunately few American’s have taken this basic information and converted it into knowledge and then turned that knowledge into skills and those skills into habits.

So here’s your first step. With regards to the issue you are facing. Get blunt. Get brutal. Answer this question, “What knowledge do I need to effectively address this issue?” Consider what skills you need to identify and resources you must access to help you create the knowledge needed to answer this challenge.

2. ACTION
You must take new ACTIONS to get new results. Look carefully at the KNOWLEDGE you need and then take actions to find the answers. Sign up for classes, hire consultants, read books, get a coach, find a mentor, but do what it takes to get the knowledge you lack. Then get moving! The universe rewards action! What can you do in the next 24 hours to redirect your life? What can you do before the sun comes up tomorrow to begin the process of revitalizing your life? We’re not hanging around this plentiful planet forever so get moving!

WARNING: This is where many people will stop reading this article and be resigned to living the same old unsatisfactory life they’ve been tolerating for years. Why? Because of PMS! Or, the Perfection Misconception Syndrome! Too many of us get within inches of achieving our dreams and then stop. Sales people try to close the deal two, three, sometimes four times and then give up; only to let the next sale rep pick up the business on the fifth call. Why do we stop? Why do people quit when they get to the action phase? We think that we must have all our ducks in a row. We think everything must be organized, neat, rehearsed, and flawless before moving forward. WRONGO!

If you remember nothing else from this article, please remember this! Perfection sure prevents a lot of greatness! Don’t wait for the time, the presentation, the weather, or your hair to be perfect! THIS is the perfect time to act! Perfection is not possible but greatness is! The Perfection Misconception Syndrome stops a lot of people but it doesn’t have to stop you!

3. REFLECTION
Look in the mirror and ask yourself. “What have I learned from the KNOWLEDGE I’ve gained and the actions I’ve taken?” “How can I do this be better, longer, or with more commitment the next time? Give yourself 30 minutes of meditation or quiet time every day and focus on how you want your life to be. Don’t spend time a lot of time analyzing the mud. If you’re stuck, stop complaining and start pushing. It’s okay to look at what has worked and what hasn’t worked but spend most of your time dwelling in the possibilities. Reflect on what happened or didn’t happen today. Learn from it. Learn how to improve upon it but learn from what works and don’t worry so much about what doesn’t work!

Living a life of vitality comes from knowing how to get yourself out of the muck, back in the truck, and headed down the road of your dreams. This is your life! This is the only time you have. It’s time to enjoy what you have now and what lies ahead! Living a life filled with vitality is easier when you have the KNOWLEDGE, take the ACTION, and allow time for REFLECTION.

Nobody said getting unstuck was easy but it can be very simple. If you are not where you want your life to be, decide what you want and begin with the KAR Technique to get yourself there!
