Let Go (of EVERYTHING)
The best of these ways to change in life is simply letting go … of everything. Things that bother you. Things that upset you. Things that you cannot change. Do you see a pattern forming with these things? They are all troublesome without an imminent solution. Let go of the things that you cannot change and embrace a new path.
When it comes to making changes in life, one of the most effective approaches is to practice the art of letting go. This means letting go of anything that causes stress, anxiety, and worry. It could be anything from a difficult situation to a toxic relationship. It could even be something as simple as a negative thought pattern. The key is to recognize that some things are just out of our control and to accept that.
In order to successfully let go, it is important to practice self-awareness. It is also important to understand that some things are simply not meant to be. This includes bad habits, negative behaviors, and even relationships that have run their course. As hard as it may be, it is important to accept the fact that some things just cannot be changed.
Letting go is also a great way to create space for new opportunities. This could be a new job, a new hobby, or even a new relationship. By letting go of the things that no longer serve us, we create an open space in our lives to fill with new experiences.

Channel Your Energy
Often times, when I feel stuck, it helps me to channel my energy into areas of my life that need a bit of work. I go back to the basics. I organize my planner. I reconnect with those long-lost friends. I make more time for my family. I take time away from what is troubling me and put that energy combined with that effort into other necessities that I have neglected. Ultimately, I find myself moving forward with no need to look back at what used to be problematic in my life.
When life throws us a curveball, it can be difficult to break out of a rut. It’s easy to fall into a cycle of negative thinking and feeling overwhelmed. But with the right tools and strategies, we can break out of our funk and get back on the path to success. One of the most effective strategies is to channel your energy into areas of your life that need a bit of work.
Organizing your planner is a great place to start. Having a clear and concise plan of action for the week ahead will help you stay on track and focused. It’s also important to reconnect with those long-lost friends and family that you may have neglected. Taking time away from what is troubling you and putting that energy into other necessities that you have neglected can be a great way to get your mind off of the problem and into a more productive mindset.
Another great way to channel your energy is to take up a new hobby or activity. Learning something new can be a great way to challenge yourself and open up new opportunities. Exercise is also a great way to channel your energy, as it can help you to clear your mind and boost your mood.
Finally, it’s important to focus on the positive.

Plan out Your Time
In the last point, I mentioned organizing my planner. Well, organization is a huge part of recognizing what it is that is holding you back from chugging forward - period! It is ok to not realize how far you have gotten off your path but when you do, all you have to do is take action to get back to where you want to be, as soon as you can.

Rearrange Your Thoughts
The mind is a very powerful force. Many times we forget just how much negativity can truly impact our lives.When you realize this, put forth direct effort to combat feelings of negativity and self-neglect. Make your thoughts reflect the life that you want to live. A positive mind can be just the key you need to move forward in your life.

Create a New Life
Perhaps the reason you cannot move forward is because you do not really want to go to where you are headed. Maybe you are subconsciously telling yourself that you want something different, something better for your life. Repeat after me: that is O.K. You do not have to go to where you thought you wanted to be. At any point you can change your life and make it everything that you never could have imagined before. Take time to reevaluate your life, your dreams, your goals, you hope, etc. If you are not headed down a path that makes you excited to wake up each morning, change your life and move forward.

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.
Look Forward to Things
When there are exciting things going on in your life and the lives of others around you, it is so easy to get caught up in that joy. Nothing can stop you. Well, if you try to live as if something great is always bound to happen, you will never have to worry about how to move forward. You will simply always want to because the next great thing is just around the corner.

Have Faith
Life has its ups. Life has its downs. No matter what goes on in your life you should keep faith that better things will happen. There is a Jewish proverb that I have come to love. It says “This too shall pass.” What has you stuck now will eventually pass. Just do not let life pass you by.
No one came into this world knowing how to handle every single situation. It is ok if you get stuck in the moment. Just don’t stay there. How will you keep moving forward?
