Are you 'Stuck in a Rut' or 'In The Groove'?

Posted By Sally Inkster, Brand Specialist, 01 March 2023

Two very different things…

Being in a groove = Performing or operating very well.

You're in your flow, living your best life and everything comes easily and simply because you know where you’re going and how to get there!

Stuck in a rut = Too fixed in one particular type of job, activity, or method and needing to change.

You're bored, not motivated and life feels difficult.Defining your Personal Brand and building Self Awareness around who you are, your purpose and your why, can change that Rut into a Groove!

Which one are you in?

Sometimes you have a question or a query about your life, business, a friendship that keeps recurring and you're not sure how to get to your answer.

It may be...

  • 'How shall I grow my business?''
  • How should I be balancing my time differently?''
  • Am I doing the right thing?''
  • Should I change career/business?''
  • Should I carry on with this?''
  • Should I stop doing this?'

How many voices do you have in your head? - quite a few if you're like me.

  • Fearful voice
  • Impatient/fun-loving/risk takerLazy
  • Mother/teacher
  • Rule breaker
  • Want to be liked voice

Sometimes you get the feeling of being stuck because one of those inner voices is too loud and not letting any of the others speak or all of them are speaking at once.

Here is a task that will help 

  1. Make a list of all your voices.
  2. Write each you on a piece of paper and place them on different chairs.
  3. Articulate your question and then spend 5 - 10 mins in each chair, giving yourself advice from only the perspective of the person on that particular chair.
  4. Journal around the answer or say it our loud.
  5. By the end you will have sat in all the chairs, opened your perspective and heard from the whole advisory board that is the makeup of you.

You will find momentum too, as you will clearly hear the advice you had to offer yourself all along!

So, a question...

Is it time to up your game in 2023?

I ask in all seriousness, hoping that you think about this in some depth before you answer.

The easy response is ‘yes’. After all, that’s what you are supposed to say. You may even add some stretching goals… maybe like you did last year?

But if you are honest, you may admit that you’ve done this before… set some goals, a year has whizzed by and you know that this year you MUST try harder.

If that is you, it’s OK.

You can take all of this year to figure it out, or you can have an almighty push and get where you need to be sooner rather than later.

If you are ready to smash 2023, all you need to do is click the link below and we’ll talk, I’ll assess whether you are in the right place to make it your year and if you are, I will tell you how I can help… no obligation, no hard sell.
