When My Mind is Stuck

How do you get yourself mentally unstuck?

I have been sitting here looking at my computer for the better part of an hour without much to show for it. My mind has been racing between different ideas never to really land on one and take action to complete it. You could say I got my own mind stuck in a rut and the wheels are spinning while taking me nowhere.

How do I get out? What I am doing is sure not working. Well, I guess I will just write something and publish it. It will pretty much be a conversation with myself about how to get mentally unstuck. I want a final sense of accomplishment before going to bed and a published piece of writing will fill that void.

Here are steps that are working for me now. I suppose they are operating at the subconscious level in my mind, but they will begin to surface as I put numbers on this screen.

  1. Stop: What you are doing is not getting you anywhere. Clear the clutter and forget about the 10 different ideas that were spinning your mind out of control. Let me repeat myself... You are getting nowhere.
  2. Listen: Is there a voice in your head telling you to do something that is actually important right now? Does any of what you are doing or trying to do really matter? 
  3. Respond: If the answers to the few questions above did not come to you quickly then there is probably nothing of any importance to be accomplished. Leave your computer or whatever tool you are allowing to abuse you mind.

There is certainly a guru out there that knows something more about getting unstuck, but these three simple steps just empowered me to write a short article, feel accomplished and kill this machine full of abundant opportunity.

Summit as friends!
Scott
