“Clutter is not just physical stuff. It’s old ideas, toxic relationships, and bad habits. Clutter is anything that doesn’t support your better self.” -Eleanor Brown.
According to a study, only 3 out of 10 people are happy with their life. Plus, 69% of the people feel trapped in their old routine, making zero to no progress. This feeling of being stuck is further affecting their physical and mental well-being.
If you don’t cope with this feeling on an immediate basis, it can get intensified, affecting you further.
So, you need to take steps to clear this clutter. But before we begin, you need to learn the reason for being “stuck.”
Why Are You Feeling “Stuck?”
First of all, you must note that everyone feels stuck at some point in their life. The reason can vary according to the person to person or the prevailing circumstances.
In fact, one of the common reasons behind a cluttered mind is working towards “false objectives.” It means working hard to achieve a goal that they don’t truly desire. For instance, you might want to become an artist but are pursuing engineering. And because your current scenario and heart and goal are not aligned, leading to peak confusion.
Apart from this, the reason behind confusion might be not knowing your own self. If you don’t know your strengths, weaknesses, talents, and passions, you can become indecisive. Eventually, it’ll become challenging for you to reach your full potential.
To put it simply, if you are doing something that you don’t desire by heart or are getting overwhelmed by your current thoughts, you might stay dissatisfied or stuck.
How Does It Affect You?
Now that you have an idea why you are feeling unsettled, you should know how it’ll affect you. Ideally, this feeling can be mild as well as severe, depending upon the individual’s mental well-being.
Nevertheless, whether big or small, this unsettling feeling can significantly affect your relationship, career as well as personal growth. Perhaps, it won’t be wrong to say that it might lead to midlife crises.
In addition to this, if you don’t take action to deal with this feeling, you might start to develop regret about unfulfilled desires or living an average life.
Having said that, what are the measures that you can take to help yourself?
Measures
Luckily, you can help yourself get better and clear your cluttered mind using the following measures.
First things first, you have to set a goal that you really want to accomplish in life. It need not be a long-term goal like purchasing a house. Instead, it could be a short-term goal, such as going on a vacation this year. The purpose here is to understand what your heart wants.
Keep in mind that once you start to understand yourself, your mind starts to work in a clear direction. Thus, decision-making becomes much easier. Do not try to force yourself to accomplish the “false objectives.” Rather, learn about your passion and align it with your goal. It will make life more fun and lovable.
If you have a desired goal, but your current circumstances are overwhelming, thus creating confusion- talk to someone. But not just anybody; you should try talking to someone who understands your aura or energy.
It might sound absurd, but your energy/aura can tell a lot of things about you. It is especially good when you are unable to make any decision. For instance, you can try psychic reading to get insights into your own life.
According to the professional at Psychic Readings Brisbane, it can help you make a positive difference in your life. Generally, the psychic powers tap into your energy and help you comprehend your life.
Another thing that you can try is self-talk and improve your mindset. Needless to say, self-talk is essential for your own growth as well as to live a free life. So, you should try to improve your mindset, i.e., think positively.
One way to do so is by rephrasing negative self-talk. For instance, if you say, “I don’t have money to travel,” change it to “I might not have money now, but I can start saving and travel wherever I want.”
Believe it or not, but it’ll surely help you give a head start or motivation to try. Not to forget, a positive mindset also helps in unlocking opportunities. So, you’ll be able to break free from the feeling of being stuck.
It is good to have a routine in life. It gives you the strength to work hard and be a better version of yourself. However, following the same routine can get monotonous and a bit too comfortable. Therefore, you should try to get out of your comfort zone by making a few changes in your life.
The changes don’t have to be big. Instead, they need to be exciting. For instance, you can join a dance class. Likewise, try meeting new people. Try doing what you are afraid of; it might help you discover something new about yourself.
Last but not least, you should never cease learning new things. Your mind tends to get cluttered when you keep on consuming the information you already have. On the contrary, if you try to give your mind new information, it’ll delete or reorganize the already existing information to make space. It kind of works like your laptop space.
The more and new information you try to save, the easier it will be to declutter your mind. So, surround yourself with people who inspire you and push you to work towards your dream.
Wrapping It Up!
It is alright to feel confused once in a blue moon. However, when it becomes an everyday thing, you need to take steps to clear out your mind. Hopefully, the above-written measures will help you understand your life and thoughts and improve them. Just stay alert of “false objectives” and seek advice from someone who knows your energy and mindset.
