3 Small Habits That Keep Me Going When I Feel Stuck
I have heard it said, āFor any great achievement, you will always be tested.ā And one of those test is... What you do when you feel stuck.
When you lack the motivation. When everything seems to work against you.
These seasons used to keep me down for too long. But I learned that staying stuck for too long is the beginning of danger.
So, here are the 3 small habits I use to get back up during such season
1. Reflection I remind myself... How did I get this far? Why did I start? I even tell myself, āItās okay to quitāā¦ But then quitting mean I am not worth it. Hafvy once said, āDreams are free but reality has a fee.ā Me reflecting on that keeps me pushing through.
2. Searching For times when my intrinsic motivation fails, I borrow extrinsic motivation. I look at the lives of people I admire. And seeing the challenges they overcame always reignites my drive.
3. Re-strategizing If I have been stuck for too long, then maybe itās time to change my approach. I start again as if itās Day 1 with a fresh research. I have heard, āDonāt be comfortable where you are for too long and that it's either you're rising or dwindling.ā
So, these 3 habits have helped me fight the resistance that comes with being stuck. And I would love to hear yours too... what helps you get back up during those moments?
It was getting to almost 1 whole week... no new client was texting me, and my current clients weren't responding to their text message. I wasn't getting much visibility for my service.
Business just seems to look like a full stop.
I was totally idle and confused. I became weak...this market is a seasonal one, if you don't get clients now, till next year...What do I do??
Everything began to play in my head "Startups that began and failed" "People who never grew past a certain level" "The thoughts of me never crossing the goals I had set" "The thoughts that my plans are about to crash" "What I built is about to fail"
I became weaker...is this how things would be? If I continue like this, is this how my dreams would come to be?
Nope! I refuse to settle for mediocrity. Yeah, I am stressed, my mentality has begun to settle for less.
But my aspirations say Never! You're not stopping here...
Hafvy once said... "Dreams are free, but reality has a fee" So yap... I am gonna pay the fee. I am going to restrategize...I'll try better.
My aspiration says to me. Don't give up yet...you haven't failed. You've only found another way that doesn't work. #AliuElizabeth#AGirlWhoAspires
Even when it feels impossibleā¦ I affirm that I will continue to learn. I will continue to try, even if I fail. I affirm that I will stay dedicated. I will get up and start. I affirm that I will use my guilt, pain, and fear as fuel. I will let go of all limitations. And I will keep on pushing through. #AliuElizabeth#AGirlWhoAspires

Days Like this, are Just Stress
Every minute is filled with Classes
From Morning till Evening
This Moment almost leaves no time to reflect deeply
Instead, all day long, it's filled with technical academic terms and knowledge input from lectures
But, what can you say?
In Everything, All we can say is "All Glory to God" For the Opportunity to experience this a few more times
And, In the Midst of this beautiful and sometimes stressful experience...
The prayer is 'May we Finish Strong š¤š'

I learnt something new last week.
And, Of Course, I have always heard it.
But lately, someone's life showed me how a woman should live it
What i learnt is:
"To Live Life With An Unusual S ense Of Urgency"
I have always been an advocate of steeze, and I am stillšāļø
But, In whatsoever you do, show the steeze outside but live the urgency inside.
Happy New Week, famš

Earnestly searching, Earnestly filtering.
My eyes...
It itch from lack of sleep.
It carries the burden of my heart
It looks tender, but it cries heavily.
My Eyes.

Every one of its reactions...
Is like an arrow continuously pointing to my personal legend.
These eyes may be weary,
but they are never blind to the future Iām chasing.

For times when my intrinsic motivation fails, I borrow extrinsic motivation.
I look at the lives of people I admire.
And seeing the challenges they overcame always reignites my drive.
3. Re-strategizing
If I have been stuck for too long, then maybe itās time to change my approach.
I start again as if itās Day 1 with a fresh research.

So, these 3 habits have helped me fight the resistance that comes with being stuck.
