Feeling stuck? Do some writing. (Or basket weaving or something. Whatever suits. 😁)
Caught two minutes of the Steven Bartlett podcast and learnt a cool thing that I’d never thought about before. Well, I have, but not quite in such straightforward terms.
Mel Robbins (? — I will look her up…) was talking about people who feel stuck. She mentioned Maslow and his hierarchy of needs.
Food
Water
Air
Up to things like growth.
Absence of food = hunger
Absence of water = thirst
Absence of air = 😬
Absence of growth = stuck
Feelings of hunger and thirst are signals to you to address these basic needs. You get something to eat. You get yourself a drink.
According to Robbins, feeling stuck is the signal that you need to address the absence of growth.
Actually, that’s bloomin’ obvious I suppose. But she suggested that it doesn’t matter how little the growth is, just start addressing it and you’ll be on your way to feeling better.
So, learn a new skill. Take a course. Try a hobby.
Maybe for you that could be writing?
Start a blog. Write a poem. Do some journalling.
Why not flex those creative muscles?
