Stuck? No way! Best Ideas for How to Get Unstuck

How to get unstuck. Stuck? No way!

Written by:  Lynette Hanover

Was there ever a time in your life when you wished that something was different from the way it was?  Perhaps you wanted things to change at work?   Maybe you were in a relationship that brought you down more than it brought you up?  It could be that you didn’t like something about your body?  Did you ever feel as tough you were stuck with no way out?  You wonder how to get unstuck.

How to Get Unstuck

All of us at one time or another had something that we simply were not happy with about ourselves or the circumstances taking place in our lives.  We complained.  We whined.  We cried.  We felt distraught.  We felt helpless.  We felt angry.  We felt like victims.  We felt unfulfilled.  We felt ashamed.  We felt many emotions that contradict what life is truly about.

Life is about feeling good.  Feeling happy and fulfilled about how we live as individuals as well as how we share our lives with others.  It is true that we sometimes have hardships and obstacles that we are to acknowledge and work through.  Yet there are times when we as individuals allow negative circumstances in our lives to perpetuate to the point where they are consuming our lives.  This is not healthy nor is it meant for our lives to be this way.

There are some people who “tolerate” the life they have.  I believe that this is a default way of life, rather than a life that is created based on a person’s deep down desires.   It’s true that many people fear change, others don’t know what to do or even how to begin, and sadly others don’t even know that something can be done for a better life.  Things simply are the way they are.  For so many people around the world being comfortable in the routine of being unhappy is simply easier than taking that one first small step in creating something new.

Overcoming fear of change is not always easy yet it is something that you can do.  Even when all the signs are pointing to 100% yes for something positive often times we freeze in the spotlight of fear.  What drives this fear and how can we overcome it?  Some say that just making the change regardless of how you feel is the way to go.  Yet I know people who just don’t have it in them to do this.  So I suggest that you start asking questions, as more information can often bring about more comfort and security in releasing the not so good and reaching for the good.  Ask your questions of people who you would like to emulate.  Seek out experts, mentors, spiritual leaders, friends, and colleagues.  It’s best to avoid asking the pessimist for advice, as this may have you feeling even worse off than when you started.   Seek out those who have moved forward and accomplished what you are looking to accomplish as well as those who will offer encouragement, support, and ideas as you are making positive changes in your life.

If it is not fear that keeps you in a situation where you don’t want to be then perhaps it is simply not having the information on how to get out, or worse yet not thinking you can’t make changes.   It is always easier to run towards something rather than running away from something.  Take a moment to write down and visualize your ideal life.  Express to someone who is trusted about your intention to make a change and what you would like to see happen.  Then start moving towards what it is that you want. Even one little action a day will eventually lead to your dreams.

Don’t get in your own way.  Know that you deserve the best in life, and when it comes…welcome it and enjoy.

Life of Happiness

Life of Happiness

Written by:  Lynette Hanover

It’s early morning on Wednesday August 21, 2013 and I am in my living room as I start my first official love blog post.  A beautiful arrangement of yellow roses sits on my wood carved coffee table, and the bright eastern sun is streaming into the room.  As I sit here and begin to write I wonder what took me so long?  I have been told for many years that I am a talented writer, and for many years I have always wanted the very best for people. Is it Divine timing?  Perhaps it is.

It was only a couple of years ago that I first heard of this idea of divine timing.  I was in a session with an energy healer by the name of Eric and he was talking about how I was in the perfect place, where God wanted me to be.   I argued as I simply could not align with this belief.  At the time I believed God had given me so many dreams come true opportunities and that it was me, not anyone else who screwed things up.  At my core, yet not always in my mind,  I believed that I was not worthy…not wanted…not loved…simply not good enough.  I was in the low self-esteem league, a place I had been since early childhood.   It seemed as tough I wasn’t moving forward with my dreams at all, and when something seemed to start going right somehow it went very wrong.  It was my belief system about who I was that created this world that I was living in.

For many years I looked for a fix.  I sat in numerous self-improvement  seminars, read a variety of books, had sessions with healers, went to see therapists, sought advice from friends and strangers, watched inspirational YouTube videos, and tuned in to uplifting Podcasts.  What made this past year different is that for the first time in my life I fell in love with myself.  I was able to release so much of what burdened me, most of it being false beliefs I created in my own mind which penetrated how I went about living my life.  I will be sharing both learned wisdom as well as new found wisdom with you as time goes on.  All of us are evolving, and I am choosing healthful, positive, loving ways to move forward and I invite you to do the same for yourself.

The beginning of Life of Happiness….

It was winter time about six or seven years ago when I was driving south on I-55 in my blue Hyundai Sonata to see a friend who lived in LaGrange.  To help pass the time for some reason I decided to come up with an acronym for the initials in my name.  I was playing around with words as I drove past billboards, buildings, and slower moving cars.  During this drive I came up with the phrase “Life of Happiness.”   I knew even at that time that my goal was to bring happiness to the lives of others, but found very little  in embracing it for myself.  Nonetheless, the simple little phrase that grew out of this journey ended up being my beacon for not only what to share with others, but also a way of life for me to live through as well.

What is happiness?

==> There are many forms that happiness or the feeling of elation can take. Each of us experiences happiness.   A sunny day, a child’s birth, a promotion at work, sharing a great meal, winning a championship, a great vacation…take a moment to think of when you are happiest.  What puts a smile on your face and brings you that feeling inside that you wish would never go away?  It is not just the height of elated happiness of when the fireworks are going off and their colors are bright, beautiful and brilliant in the night sky.  It is the on-going ease of feeling of love, peace, and fulfillment which help to create a life of true happiness.   It is possible to live happy even when you don’t realize that is exactly what you are doing.  Let’s call this a natural state of happiness.

So how do we get to a natural state of happiness?

What does is mean to live a Life of Happiness?  It is rather challenging when we allow ourselves to get caught up in stresses and negativity that push us down rather than lifting us up.   And on top of that we add our own negative ideas to the mix that elevate situations and somehow make them even worse.  Is there another way?  Yes, and my intention is to help you enjoy a life of bliss, one that makes you smile, and brings you in harmony with the way you truly wish to live your life.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life to guiding people to experience the love, joy, and splendor that is available for each of us.  I invite you to join me on this journey.

 

The best in your life is waiting for you to say “Yes.”

 

Love and Happiness…
