Moving from Stuck to Flow By [Sara Wiseman]( The following is an excerpt from the "Moving from Stuck to Flow" on-line course. If you would like to enroll in the course, [click here](. I sometimes work with people who've been doing one thing for so long, they've lost the ability to imagine anything else. For some, it's a job. For others, it's a relationship, family situation, where they live, how they spend their time, habits they've developed. It could even be a pattern of thinking. They're stuck, and they don't even know it. The funny thing is, stuckness can happen even in situations that we've consciously chosen. For example, you may have decided four years ago to create your own business; it was a conscious choice, you went through a lot of soul searching and listening to the Universe to get there. Now, for some reason, it doesn't feel good any more. It feels flat, boring, meaningless. Or perhaps you entered a relationship years ago: you committed to that relationship, you were certain you'd found true love. Maybe you even got married. And now... it doesn't feel good any more. You've outgrown it, or it's outgrown you, or... it's hard to know why it's not working. Or maybe you embarked on a course of study; you went back to school to get a degree or certification. You thought long and hard about your choice, you meditated and prayed and spent a long time considering you decision. And now... it doesn't feel good. After all that money and time and expense, it doesn't serve you. You're stuck. And you may be terrified to change. The quicksand of stuckness How do we get stuck? Basically, people get mired in the mud when they stop expanding. In other words, getting stuck is what happens when we let ourselves get bored, go unchallenged, or stay in stressful or unpleasant situations for too long. Of course, other possibilities are calling to us all the time! But when we're stuck, we miss these sweetly insistent signs from the Universe. Or worse, we actively choose to ignore them. We see it, we know it's there... and for a moment, we ponder what it might be like to head in a new direction. But we're so stuck...it's so hard to get out of all that mud. "Better keep to the safe path," we mumble to ourselves, feet sinking further into the muck. "Better keep to what's known." The purpose of our journey here on earth isn't to hunker down and hide in the cave. Instead, we're here to expand as fully as we possibly can; to learn and grow and experience life as the brilliant, passionate, interesting, quirky, scary, resplendent, sacred feast it truly is!

And we find it, too, in temporary forms - a new experience, relationship, purchase. Yet a lasting sense of fulfillment and satisfaction may continue to elude us as we learn what doesn't make us happy. Still, the dreams persist: "If only I'd gotten a college (or graduate) degree. . . if only I had a soul-mate, or a better relationship (or career) . . . if only I'd had children . . . if only I hadn't had children . . . if only I made more money or had a nicer home . . . if only I traveled more. . ." But even if we get those things, we continue to search. Here is the course, and now is the time, to stretch your soul and strengthen your spirit with international bestselling author, and master coach, Dan Millman! This course provides a map of the path to authentic and lasting fulfillment. You will learn that there is nothing you have to add to your life, but rather, it involves removing unseen obstructions you have faced in twelve different areas of life.
