9 REASONS WHY YOU FEEL STUCK
Have you felt stuck recently and think that something is wrong somewhere? Believe me, you are not alone. I have felt the same way recently. In this article, I am going to be unpacking the 9 reasons why you feel stuck.
According to www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com.To be stuck means unable to move or to be moved or in an unpleasant situation or place that you cannot escape from.
When you are stuck, you often feel like you shouldn’t be in a particular situation. However at the same time you have little or no power to get yourself out of it. You can feel stuck in traffic, in a bad relationship, an unsatisfying job etc. Below are the 9 reasons why you feel stuck
9 Reasons Why You Feel Stuck
- You are not seeing the results of your efforts
After putting in so much effort and not seeing results, it’s only normal to feel stuck. However when you feel discouraged, remember the Bamboo growth process. It takes the Bamboo tree 3 years to develop it’s roots. On maturity, it can grow up to 35 inches per day or 1.5 inches per hour. While the Bamboo tree is growing below the earth surface, it appears like nothing is happening because it is not visible. So it is when you have worked hard and tried all that you can and nothing seems to be working.
- Because you know you deserve better
When you realise you deserve better, you will become uncomfortable when you get less of what you deserve. And because you are helpless, you feel stuck.
- You know there can be more
Feeling Stuck is a feeling you feel when you know there can be more however it is not within your reach. For example, you may feel stuck on a particular job because you have tried other opportunities and have not been unsuccessful.
- You are in the middle of a process
Sometimes being stuck could mean you are in the middle of a process and process takes time. When the time is right, results will begin to unleash. An Elephant during her gestation period may feel stuck however a calf takes time to birth.
- You are not aligned with your purpose
When you are not aligned with your purpose, you will often feel something is missing and will be unable to find fulfilment in what you do. You have to find your purpose and follow it.

- You don’t know what you want
Sometimes not knowing what you want makes you feel stuck. When you don’t know what you want, it is difficult to progress in life because you cannot set out on a journey without a destination in view.
Sometimes in life, we are stuck between going back and continuing. But remember it takes as much effect to go back as to continue

- You are not true to yourself
When you are not true to yourself, you end up settling for less of what you deserve. Sometimes when you are loyal, it puts you at a disadvantage. Always look out for yourself first and do what is right for you.
- You are holding on to the past
Feeling stuck could also mean that you are holding on to the past. The past is the past, you no longer live there. For you to move from a position of being stuck, you have to look at what lies ahead.
- You are afraid to take risk
When you are afraid to take risk, you will most likely remain stuck. Sometimes feeling stuck could be as a result of knowing that you are supposed to do more or be more but you have settled being in your comfort zone. For you to get over the feeling of being stuck, you have to push yourself from your comfort zone, launch out and take risks
Conclusion
Remember you alone have the power to change your situation. No one will do it for you. And the moment you decide you have had enough, that is when your situation will change
