Occasionally as you pursue your passion you're going to feel plain ol' stuck, pure and simple. Here's something I wrote a couple years ago with some ideas for getting unstuck:
There will be times in your journey when you feel inextricably stuck. It’s a natural part of the process. How to get unstuck could (and does) fill whole books, but here is a smattering of ideas to try.
Keep your feet moving: The surest way to stay stuck is to stop moving. Back up and look at different possibilities. Try different solutions to the problem you are encountering. Be willing to experiment and learn.
Brainstorm: Alone or together with others, come up with as many ideas as you can for different ways to move your feet.
Break it down: Look at the obstacle you are encountering. Break it down into pieces and think of ways you might find your way around each individual piece. Concentrate on the pieces you can wrap your arms around and make progress with.
Say it out loud: Describe to someone else what the problem seems to be that you are encountering. Sometimes simply the process of going through it out loud can lead you to a way through it.
Check for assumptions: Write out what’s happening. Where are you stuck? What is getting in the way? Why can’t you get around it? Once you’re done, take a look at what you’ve written. For each separate thought, ask yourself what assumptions you are making. Are there any that aren’t valid?
Walk backwards: Look forward to where you want to be and backtrack through the steps that would need to be taken to get there.
Future focus: Instead of spending your time focusing on why you can’t do something right now, redirect your focus to where you want to go as though you were already there. You may have heard the saying that what you focus on grows. Stop focusing on the stuckness and try focusing on what you're trying to accomplish.
Have any other suggestions?
