Hey there, friend.

Everyone knows this feeling.

That familiar sense of worry sets in…

You start feeling as though you are no longer making any real progress…

No matter what you do, your circumstances refuse to change…

What’s worse, you begin to wonder if YOU are the problem behind it all.

Is there a big secret to success that everyone else seems to know about that you haven’t quite figured out yet? Why does everyone appear (key word, appear) to be doing so much better than you? Why does a constant sense of lagging behind seem to follow you everywhere you go?

Hush. No more of this negative chatter. It does not serve you.

When these thoughts start running through your mind, I want you to recognize them for what they are:

Intrusive thoughts.

Take a few moments to breathe. Everyone feels a little stuck sometimes. This is the human experience, after all. While at times unpleasant and even downright overwhelming, it’s not anything to panic over.

The key when you are feeling this way is to know how to create new momentum for yourself (mentally, emotionally, and physically).

Carving a space for fresh possibility within your mind and heart is the way forward.

You do this by your decision to stop dwelling on the negative.

No more negative thoughts about who you are, what you are capable of, and what is (or isn’t) happening for you.

From this moment forward, you are dedicated to focusing on the positive only.

You must choose to think, move, and grow with pure and positive intention.

When you make the conscious decision to feel GOOD about your life, your life only gets better. This is where the law of attraction comes into play.

If you are having a little trouble getting started…

Here are 7 reminders for you today to help you get unstuck and keep moving forward in life:

1. You are not your mistakes or failures.

2. Emotions come and go.

3. You are far more capable than you realize.

4. Progress means growing a tiny bit each day.

5. It’s never too late or too soon.

6. You matter. Yes, you.

7. Things will get better.

… The truth is that we all feel stuck sometimes.

This feeling is part of being alive.

But it doesn’t have to last forever.

Things will change for you…

Life will get better.

It’s time to have hope.
