Here’s Why You Feel Stuck
How to un-stuck yourself
We all feel this way at some point. The strong desire to move forward, but something pulls us back. For example, you want to quit your job but are held back by your doubts, hesitation and the bills. Being in this position kills you slowly.
By nature, we love to progress. Be it physically, financially, in our interpersonal relationships. We always need a next step. But not all of us have the inner drive to take action because of our subconscious limitations, making it difficult to be satisfied.
Like most things in our lives, these limitations were formed in our childhood. Growing up with restrictive parents can have that effect on you. If you were restricted from exploring your natural curiosities and creativity as children, it cages you as adults.
Because you were never allowed to let your inner creativity (which brings you fulfilment) shine, you were never allowed to do anything for you but to make a parent look good. You may have been wired to think that creative roles mean poverty. And this won’t make a parent proud.
And then, when you have the push to follow a creative path, your subconscious reminds you of the poverty following a creative path brings.
