Do you ever get frustrated when things don't go as planned, especially when you're hoping for something simple, like having a meal together with your family?
I recently had one of those moments. After fasting for Yom Kippur, I had this picture-perfect idea of breaking the fast with my family around the dinner table. But as I walked home from prayer services, I started to fume, convinced that they’d already started eating without me.
Instead of letting the frustration boil over, I used a tool I created called The CLEAR Way, which helped me prepare for whatever I might walk into. And I’m so glad I did, because when I got home, my boys were sitting at the kitchen island, already eating! 😤
But because I had mentally prepared myself, I calmly asked if they’d like to sit down at the table with me. And guess what? They did.
It wasn’t perfect, but it didn’t turn into a drama. I didn’t get mad, I didn’t hold a grudge—and that made all the difference.
Handling unmet expectations without spiraling into frustration is possible for all of us. It just takes some practice and the right tools. 🎯

Do you ever get annoyed by those little things people do that just grate on your nerves? 🙃 Maybe it’s someone chewing loudly, leaving dirty dishes in the sink, or texting during a conversation.
Those are called pet peeves, and we all have them.
I’ve been thinking about mine lately—especially when it comes to my husband.
One of my big ones? When he answers for other people like he knows what they’re thinking! 😤
The other night, it happened again at dinner, and I felt that familiar frustration creeping up. But instead of letting it ruin the evening, I used The unSTUCK Method to help me process my emotions and move on—without causing unnecessary drama.
The truth is, pet peeves often say more about us than the other person. They stem from our preferences or sensitivities, and how we choose to react is really our responsibility.
In this week’s episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I share the full story and how you can manage your reactions to those everyday annoyances. You don’t want to miss it! 🎧✨
Tune in and see how you can get unstuck from your own pet peeves.
Shira 💛
P.S. Pet peeves may never go away, but how we handle them can change everything!

I wanted to share something unexpected that happened just a few hours ago while recording this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast.
The theme of today's episode was drama, and life certainly delivered.
As I was recording, Iran began launching ballistic missiles at Israel, triggering sirens that sent us rushing to our safe rooms. In the rush, I dropped the mic but forgot to pause the recording. When it was safe to return, I discovered the recording was still running. I've decided to keep this part in the episode to keep things authentic and real.
Please be aware that you'll hear this interruption around minute 7 or 8 of the episode. I share this not only to prepare you but to reflect on how crucial it is for us to manage our responses, especially in unexpected and challenging times.
Wishing us all peace and safety, and the strength to get unstuck, even in the toughest moments.
Love, Shira
P.S. Imagine how much better our world could be if everyone knew how to use the tools to handle anything life throws our way.

Ever wished you could hit a "reset" button on a conversation gone wrong? 🔄
I sure have! This week on the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I'm diving into the concept of a "do over" and sharing a personal story that might just change the way you approach misunderstandings.
A couple of weeks ago, a simple misunderstanding about a dentist appointment spiraled into unnecessary frustration between me and my husband. Instead of letting it ruin our day, I proposed a "do over" – literally reenacting the conversation to see if we could handle it differently. 😲
Curious to see how it turned out? Click here to tune into this week's episode and discover the power of resetting your reactions. You might just find yourself inspired to press "reset" the next time a conversation doesn't go as planned!

This week on the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, we're exploring the transformative power of self-reflection. I've been emphasizing how taking a moment to pause and consider our actions and thoughts can significantly impact our personal growth and awareness. 🤔
In line with this theme, I'm excited to share a special episode featuring Jamie, a valued member of one of my communities. Jamie has graciously allowed us to delve into her journey of self-reflection and the profound changes it has brought to her life. 🌱

Ever find yourself on the brink of a kitchen squabble over something as simple as boiling eggs?
That happened to me recently, and it turned into an unexpected lesson in managing frustrations and choosing my battles.
In the midst of me boiling some eggs, my husband came in out of nowhere and decided to switch pots to save energy—a small action that unexpectedly sparked a big internal reaction from me.
I'm curious - would this have annoyed you?
How do you think you would have reacted?
Tune in to this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to hear how I handle this very irritating situation with the help of The unSTUCK Method.

This week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast will be different. After the heart-wrenching news of the execution of six hostages in Israel, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a friend of friends, I found myself deeply affected.
In light of this, I invite you to join me in taking a moment to pause—a stop that feels necessary right now, not just for me but perhaps for many of us. 🌍
In this episode, I share some music I've recently created, intended to accompany our moment of reflection.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to reconnecting with you next week.

In this episode, I talk about living from possibility. Living from possibility means envisioning a better reality and actively shaping interactions to be more positive. It's about seeing past the cycle of negative experiences and using proactive communication to transform relationships. Embracing this approach can lead to more fulfilling connections, helping you move from conflict to harmony with confidence and ease.

In this podcast episode, I explore the common yet often unspoken issue of shame that many people feel when confronting negative emotions, getting emotionally stuck, or facing relationship problems. It's incredibly normal to feel embarrassed about needing tools to manage one's emotional health, but this shame is truly unnecessary.
Once individuals join a supportive community, they quickly realize that everyone faces similar challenges, and there is great power and relief in shared experiences. By acknowledging and accepting these feelings openly, members can move past shame and work towards genuine improvement and empowerment together. This collective journey highlights the universality of emotional struggles and the benefits of facing them head-on.

Have you ever signed up for a gym membership full of enthusiasm, only to see it go unused?
That’s exactly what sometimes happens when it comes to using The unSTUCK Method. We know it's there, we know it can help us, we know it's within our reach and yet, we sometimes forget to use it.
In this week’s "You Can Handle Anything!" podcast, I explain why embracing The unSTUCK Method in your daily life is essential for making real changes in how you respond to life’s emotional challenges.
It's not just about knowing the steps, it's about actually applying them to your life.
Every emotional situation is unique, and using the method consistently helps you navigate these effectively.
This is a short episode in a 5-week series I created this month that came out of a recent conversation I had with a woman named Lisa.
www.shiragura.com
In this podcast episode, I discuss the significant role of language in managing emotions and enhancing well-being. The term "stuck" is pivotal in my approach; recognizing when you're "stuck" on an emotion is crucial because it signals that there's a method to help you move forward. I encourage rephrasing emotional states, such as changing "I'm angry" to "I'm stuck on anger," to remind ourselves that emotions are temporary states we can navigate through.
The ability to articulate feelings accurately not only helps in identifying emotions but also in adopting new perspectives to shift them. This mastery of language and its application in everyday life, as shared through personal and family experiences, underscores how powerful and transformative clear communication can be in resolving emotional challenges.
www.shiragura.com
This podcast focuses on the importance of taking personal responsibility, especially when feeling emotionally stuck. Often, the instinct is to blame others for our feelings, but this approach means we're not fully owning our part. Taking personal responsibility involves acknowledging, owning, and processing our own thoughts and emotions. By doing so, we reduce blame and better understand the true sources of our suffering, rather than projecting responsibility onto others. If more people embraced this mindset, it could lead to significant improvements in personal well-being and interpersonal relationships across the globe.

This week's "You Can Handle Anything" is going to be slightly different than usual.
Instead of sharing one of my stories, I'm going to share with you someone else's.
And that "someone else" is the actor, Andrew McCarthy.
I'm going to dive into the intriguing story of Andrew McCarthy and the infamous "Brat Pack" label that shaped his career.
The film captures his journey as he revisits old friends and questions whether the label or his reaction to it caused more harm. It’s a powerful example of how external labels can trap us, and what it takes to break free and reclaim our identity.
Click here to tune in and perhaps consider labels in your own life and the impact they've had on you.

In this episode of "You Can Handle Anything," I explore the heavy and often sneaky nature of guilt, sharing a personal story from a recent family dinner. After deciding not to partake in desserts my mom made, I was unexpectedly overwhelmed by guilt, despite making a simple, healthy choice for myself.
Guilt is a complex emotion that can quickly transform into self-resentment, reminding us that we're often our own harshest critics. During the podcast, I discuss how emotions are essentially energy in motion and how they can change, sometimes needing guidance to move in a constructive direction.
I'll walk you through the specific steps of The unSTUCK Method that I used to navigate and transform my feelings of guilt. This method not only helped me understand my emotions but also taught me how to handle them effectively without letting them control me.
Tune in to learn how to manage and transform guilt, and discover that you can handle anything life throws your way.

Have you ever felt incredibly strongly about something, only to find yourself talking to someone who sees things the exact opposite way?
Or maybe they just can’t see your side at all?
It’s beyond frustrating.
You might argue back and forth, but no matter what you say, they don’t budge.
It feels like you’re the only one suffering, but it’s likely tough for them, too.
This is what unfolded for me last week with one of my kids, following up on last week's podcast episode where we clashed over something I found quite unethical.
I turned to The unSTUCK Method to escape that frustrating deadlock because clinging to being right was getting us nowhere.
In this week’s "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I dive into exactly what I did and the new perspectives I embraced to resolve this conflict.
Because ultimately, we may not control the obstacles in our lives, but we can master our responses to them.

Ever felt stuck on how to respond when someone close does something you disagree with? Reacting impulsively can damage relationships and make you regret your actions, while staying silent might leave you feeling like a doormat.
Here's a tip: try asking for permission to share your feelings. It’s a respectful way to communicate without overstepping, and if they’re not open to it, you need to respect their choice.
I faced a similar dilemma with my son recently. He sent a video from California that I found disappointing and unethical.
Conflicted about how to respond, I used the unSTUCK Method.

Ever wake up feeling weighed down by regret over something you did yesterday? 😞
It's a heavy feeling, and it can linger all day—or even longer.
This hit me hard after a recent Father's Day celebration.
We planned to spend the day with extended family, about 3 hours from my parents' house.
I decided to go, even though it meant rescheduling a regular Zoom coaching call.
All was well until things ran late, and I had to leave early to make it home in time for my call.
That's when the guilt kicked in, quickly turning into regret.
I kept thinking, I shouldn’t have gone. And believing it too.
Repeating that story only kept me stuck in a loop of regret, which was no help at all.
So, I turned to The unSTUCK Method to break free. 🔄

In this episode of "You Can Handle Anything," I delve into one of the most common but overlooked issues in relationships: the "rulebooks" we create for others.
These are the expectations we set about how people should act, speak, and behave—like putting away shoes or doing dishes.
Often, the other person is unaware of these rules, leading to frustration and resentment when they don't comply.
Discover how recognizing and potentially letting go of these rulebooks can transform your relationships, preventing unnecessary conflict and fostering better understanding.

Ever catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could..." or "I wish I had..."? 🤔
Those aren't just daydreams; they're powerful desires pointing you toward your destiny.
Most of us try to chase these dreams by setting goals.
But here's the tough truth: most people don't achieve them.
Why?
Well, I want to share two big reasons:
- They get hyper-focused on the end result, instead of falling in love with the process and the identity shift that occurs along the way. 💫
- When emotional roadblocks pop up, they give up instead of pushing through. 😢
It's a real shame, because it doesn’t have to be this way.
I firmly believe you can achieve your goals because you are the creator of your life experiences.
But you need the right approach:
- Create evolutionary goals that transform you.
- Plan your journey thoughtfully.
- Be emotionally equipped to avoid self-sabotage.

Have you ever had a day where your simple plans just don’t pan out?
Not the life-changing ones, but the daily stuff: a walk, cooking a specific meal, finishing a task.
Out of the blue, things happen, and what you wanted to do just can’t be done.
When that happens, you face a choice: stick with the frustration or move past it.
Every moment gives you the power to either react on autopilot or respond with intention.
In every moment, you have the power to choose.
Just yesterday, I had this all planned out - an email blast to my Living Deliberately Circle about all the new videos I created for them, ready after months of hard work.
Then, bam! A computer glitch.
Out of nowhere, out of my control, and there went my email plan.
My first thought? Power through the night until it’s fixed.
But then, I paused. Took a step back. Went through The unSTUCK Method.
And, oh, what a difference it made.

In this episode, I share a personal challenge from my son's Bar Mitzvah day when everything was set up wrong.
Faced with frustration and the dilemma of speaking up without causing conflict, I turned to The unSTUCK Method.
Discover how I navigated this tricky situation, ensuring a joyful day.
This 14-minute story could change how you handle your next difficult conversation.
Remember, you can handle anything.
Have you ever caught yourself worrying too much about what other people think?
This happened to me last week while I was getting ready for my youngest son's Bar Mitzvah.
I was busy making plans and found myself stuck on worrying about what my friends would think of my decisions.
This worry made me super anxious and I just couldn't shake it off.
It's something we all go through, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
Trying to make everyone happy might seem like a good idea, but really, it ends up doing more harm than good.
Instead of trying to please everyone, it's important to remember that their opinions aren't what matters most.
What really counts is how you feel about yourself, your choices, and taking charge of your own thoughts and feelings.
That's where The unSTUCK Method comes in.
One of the many things it does is that it helps you let go of that need to please everyone else so you can focus on what you really want to do.
Check out this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to hear the story and how you can start to embrace this consideration in your life, too.

Ever been called out and it hurts?
It feels mean and makes you want to fight back.
Everything goes so quick, and you feel like all you can do is get mad.
But there’s a way to deal with it.
If you notice you're getting upset, you can work through those feelings.
This is what learning to "get unstuck" with The unSTUCK Method is all about.
Doing this, you can calm down in no time, stay in charge, and think before you respond.
This is what I did when my kid said something that made me really want to snap at them.
But I didn’t.

Have you ever had the experience where someone asks you to do a favor for them - and you gladly help out - only to realize you didn't succeed exactly the way the request was intended?
I just hate it when that happens.
It's like no good deed ever goes unpunished, right?
When that happens, it's so easy to get stuck on self-judgment, self-criticism, and guilt.
But the truth of the matter is, you can't always know everything all of the time.
Things happen.
And instead of staying stuck and feeling bad, you can choose to make a shift and feel better, no matter what the situation.
This is what happened to me earlier in the week when I kind of messed things up with a friend.

Have you ever wanted to jump in and help when you see something happening to someone else?
It's totally normal!
But sometimes, it's not our place to fix everything.
I recently saw something happening between my husband and my son the other night at dinner.
At first, I wanted to step in, but I caught myself.
Instead took myself through The unSTUCK Method.
It helped me realize that it wasn't my problem to solve.
By staying out of it, I let my son handle it on his own.
And you know what?
Dinner just continued like nothing happened.
This week on the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I share this story and how choosing how to respond can make all the difference. Tune in!

Have you ever found yourself caught between the excitement of working toward a goal or a new project and the anxiety of awaiting results?
You're not alone.
In our fast-paced world, patience often feels like a forgotten virtue.
But what if I told you that embracing patience could be the secret ingredient to not only achieving your goals but also enjoying the journey along the way?
Reflecting on my own experiences, from the anticipation of childbirth to the development of significant projects, I've seen firsthand how patience can transform challenges into opportunities for growth.
It's about more than just waiting;
It's about actively engaging in the present, staying grounded, and moving forward with purpose.
I share more about the process I am going through in this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast.
Join in tuning in to hear my story and where you may want to consider practicing more patience in your life, just like me.
In this episode of "You Can Handle Anything," I delve into a less talked-about phenomenon: getting stuck on positive emotions like excitement.
It's common to find ourselves overwhelmed by excitement, impacting our daily routines and priorities.
I share my personal experience of navigating this excitement trap, and how I used The unSTUCK Method and The CLEAR Way to ground myself and prevent emotions from taking the reins.
Tune in to discover how you can recognize when you're stuck in a whirlwind of excitement and learn actionable tips to keep your emotions in check.
Join me in understanding that while being stuck is part of the human experience, awareness and the right tools can set you free.

When someone triggers you with rude or insensitive words or actions, it's natural to wish it hadn't occurred.
The challenge lies in acknowledging that it DID happen.
Refusing to accept reality leads to unnecessary suffering.
While you may dislike the event or find it perplexing, embracing trust in the present reality facilitates a smoother journey.
Practicing being trusting is something the members of my community, The Living Deliberately Circle, and I explored together this month.

Ever wondered why managing emotions "in the moment" in tough situations is crucial?
When you don't, you can get hijacked by them, leading to behavior you later regret.
And that can lead you to get trapped in a stuck cycle, holding onto negative emotions and feeling like you just can't let go.
And, of course, over time that doesn't only impact how you feel about yourself, it impacts your relationships and how others feel about you.
This is exactly why having a reliable tool for those "off" moments is invaluable.
The unSTUCK Method is my go-to solution, used multiple times a day, guiding me towards living my best life.
Here's a recent example:
Last week, amidst facilitating a 4-Day "Move Past Grudges" Challenge, I found myself torn about whether to keep my commitment to broadcasting my weekly podcast, "You Can Handle Anything."
Stuck between promises and time constraints, I turned to The unSTUCK Method.
Discover what I considered in this situation and how this tool empowered me to get unstuck, make a rational decision, and move forward.

Have you ever gotten upset and acted in a way you later regretted?
It happens to all of us.
Even in those quick and tough moments, remember: you can choose how you react.

His reaction seemed too much, triggering me to react like I used to.
But this time, I decided to be my best self.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you wronged someone, and they chose to forgive you?
It's an indescribable and uplifting sensation, isn't it?
Recently, I had the privilege of experiencing this profound power of forgiveness firsthand.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I unintentionally offered unsolicited parenting advice to a friend during a challenging time with his son.
Recognizing my mistake, I took the initiative to send a sincere apology that evening, and to my relief, I was forgiven.
The overwhelming gratitude that followed was truly remarkable.
Click below into this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to delve deeper into the story and discover what transpired.
P.S. We may not always control who forgives us, but we do have agency over whom we forgive. Starting Monday, January 15th, I am excited to lead a powerful 4-day "Move Past Grudges" Challenge. Click here to save your spot now!

Have you ever considered the impact of each moment in our lives?
It's a chance to make some profound choices – like deciding what to think, how to feel, or who we aspire to be.
The thing is, these crucial moments often slip by without us truly seizing them.

Those thoughts can lead to making excuses and giving up on both ourselves and others.

Ever wondered if you could actually choose your feelings, steering them in the direction you desire?
It might sound improbable, especially when emotions seem automatic and beyond our control.
I pondered this last night while attending a national basketball game in Israel amid the current war with Hamas.
The weight of the ongoing conflict triggered a flood of emotions, making it feel like I wasn't in control.
However, in that moment, I made a deliberate choice – and everything shifted.
Suddenly, I felt calm and capable of enjoying the evening despite the surrounding circumstances.

It happens to the best of us.

Unfortunately, this often leads us to overlook the richness of the present moments in our lives.
The reality is that being satisfied is a choice—one that you can make at any given moment.

Ever felt that sinking disappointment when those close to you fall short?
Whether it's your spouse, child, co-worker, friend, or even a stranger, the frustration of trying to change them can be overwhelming, only to realize it's beyond your control.
The urge to alter someone else often traps you in a cycle of frustration and disappointment.
But, the key isn't changing others; it's introspection.
Reflect on how disappointment might inadvertently relinquish your power, leading to self-frustration.
You don't have to stay stuck on disappointment.
Choose to break free, adopting a perspective that serves your well-being.
In the latest "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I explore three stories illustrating the pitfalls of staying stuck in disappointment.

Mourner's guilt, also known as survivor's guilt, is a natural response that can follow the harrowing experience of surviving when others did not. It can affect anyone, regardless of their sensitivity levels, and it often brings feelings of depression, anxiety, and, of course, guilt.

We all have those moments when our reactions happen automatically, almost like a reflex.
It's a part of being human, a natural thing we do without even realizing it.
But guess what? We always have a choice about how we react to the things that bother us.
Sometimes, though, making that choice isn't easy, and that's when we need some handy tools to help us make better decisions.
Think of it like building a muscle. When we practice responding thoughtfully instead of just reacting, we get better at it.
And with the two powerful tools I created, The unSTUCK Method and The CLEAR Way, in your toolkit, you can strengthen this muscle to become more in control of your emotions.
The unSTUCK Method is your go-to when something from your past is making you react.
The CLEAR Way helps when you're worried about things that haven't even happened yet.
I invite you to join me in my LIVE group coaching program, "React Less, Respond Better," where I guide you through these tools step by step, tailoring them to your specific triggers and situations.
By the end of the program, you'll be emotionally equipped to handle everyday triggers. From better relationships to improved decision-making and reduced stress, the benefits are endless.
Join me and take a proactive step towards a more fulfilling and intentional life.
It's a journey that promises personal growth, resilience, and greater emotional intelligence.

If you've ever felt like people were judging you based on how you look, the way they react, or what they say, you're not alone.
It's easy to get upset and defensive when this happens.
I recently faced a situation like this when I received an unexpected email.
Instead of reacting quickly, I used The unSTUCK Method to respond thoughtfully.
I realized that just because someone says something about me doesn't make it true.
These situations are common, but it's powerful to remember that we can choose what we believe about ourselves, regardless of others' opinions.

I'm turning 50 this month, and I've chosen a unique way to celebrate - by sharing the gift of music with the world.
I'm passionate about composing music, and I've written many tunes over the years. However, most have never been professionally recorded or shared.
For my 50th birthday, I've set an ambitious goal: to record and release one new tune every week for 50 weeks.
It's an exciting journey ahead.
But I need your support. Professional music recording has costs, and I can't cover them all alone.
I'm already 40% toward my goal, but time is running out - just 10 days left.
If I've made a positive impact on your life, whether through challenges, retreats, workshops, or this podcast, please consider supporting my musical journey, even with a single dollar.
I promise to keep sharing my teachings and inspiring you to navigate life's emotional challenges while giving back to the world.

Thank you for being part of this amazing journey.

Our minds often linger in the past or drift into the future.

Have you ever felt the sting of exclusion?
That moment when you see friends or family together, and you weren't invited, leaving a pang of sadness?
I recently had such an experience, a fleeting encounter that could have soured the moment if I hadn't employed my trusty tool, The unSTUCK Method.
During a family trip to the shore, while strolling along the boardwalk, I spotted a group of relatives gathered together, and I wasn't among them.
Initially, disappointment washed over me, followed by self-defeating thoughts like "they don't want to be with me."
But here's the thing—I managed to break free from that negative loop.
And I wanted to share this personal story with you on this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast. It's my hope that by listening, you'll find inspiration to confront similar situations with unwavering resilience.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone probes you with a question, seemingly seeking some intriguing tidbit, and you feel the pressure to share in response?
It's a scenario that often leads to post-conversation regrets.
But what if you could reclaim the power to say nothing at all?
What if you could take a moment, pause, and consciously decide whether that question deserves your response?
In this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I unveil two enlightening stories.
They vividly illustrate how a pause can unveil that some stories just aren't yours to tell.
One story came from an experience I had with a new friend, while the other stems from The Living Deliberately Circle, my membership community.
I can't wait for you to tune in and get inspired!

Have you ever caught yourself trapped in the cycle of saying "Poor Me"?
Do you sometimes find yourself succumbing to self-pity when things don't go as planned?
It's a common inclination to allow external factors to dictate how we perceive the world around us—a state I refer to as our "way of being."
How you show up in the world is not only a reflection of your internal state but can also influence those around you.
Join me to discover how I overcame the "Poor Me" mentality and learn how The unSTUCK Method can empower you to do the same.

Have you ever faced the challenge of someone being rude without knowing why?
It's a common and uncomfortable experience that can leave us feeling stuck and unsure of how to respond.
Recently, during my trip to Poland with my son for the European Little League Baseball tournament, I encountered a situation where my son was surprisingly rude to me.
It was more than just a little rude—it was downright uncomfortable.
His dismissive gestures, disapproving looks, and questioning my presence left me feeling stuck.
In this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I'll share the story and how I managed to break free from the situation by realizing that "This has nothing to do with you."
Discover the steps I took so you, too, can learn how to handle rude behavior with grace and ease.
And remember, you can handle anything!

In life, we often encounter situations where people seek our assistance, even for tasks they are fully capable of handling themselves.
It can be challenging to resist the urge to step in and help, especially when they guilt-trip us into doing so, leaving us torn between being supportive and enabling their reliance on us.
And yet it's possible to get unstuck from feeling guilty and consider they can handle things on their own, despite the discomfort.
If you find yourself frequently "rescuing" others more than you desire, I invite you to tune in to this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast.
In this episode, I share the full story and explore how we can bring the powerful lesson of empowerment into our lives.

Have you ever found yourself caught off guard by someone's unexpected words or actions, leaving you at a loss for how to respond?
Those moments can freeze us in our tracks and often lead to regrettable reactions later on.
I recently experienced such a surprise while traveling in Poland with my son, who is participating in the European Little League Baseball tournament.
In this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I'll be sharing the story of what unfolded next.
And it has to do with the phrase: "Hang On!"
"Hang on" is a potent phrase that grants you a moment of pause.
It provides an opportunity to process your emotions and contemplate what's possible in that very moment.
Join me on this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to hear the full story and discover how incorporating the "hang on" approach can assist you in navigating surprising and challenging situations.
Remember, you have the ability to handle anything that comes your way.

Have you ever caught yourself uttering phrases like "It was awful," "It was the worst," or "I wouldn't wish this on anyone!"?
It's easy to fall into negative patterns of thinking, genuinely believing that things couldn't possibly get any worse.
But what if that assumption isn't entirely accurate?
What if things actually could get worse?
I invite you to consider this not because you desire things to worsen, but because it might help you shift your perspective and find gratitude for what you currently have.
The reality is, it can always be worse. Our experiences in life are merely subjective perspectives.
Tune in to this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to hear how I handled a uniquely annoying situation, and what you can do when you catch yourself thinking, "This can't get any worse."
Remember, you possess the resilience to handle anything that comes your way!

When someone gets angry at you, how you respond can impact your relationships and inner peace.
If you've ever felt stuck, defensive, or excessively apologetic when someone expresses disappointment with something you did (or something you intend to do), you're not alone.
The other person's behaviors (and our reactions to them) can lead to resentment and affect our well-being.

When it comes to creating meaningful changes in your life or pursuing your goals and dreams, it's common to feel stuck.
Despite having well-crafted action plans, diets, or strategies, many people find themselves unable to make progress and ultimately give up on themselves.
The reason behind this recurring pattern is often the lack of a solid foundation. To truly transform your life, you need to start at the core.
At the foundation of any change lies your ability to navigate the "moments" that shape your existence. Life is a continuous series of moments, and the quality of your journey depends on how skillfully you navigate through them.
However, when those moments involve intense emotions, it's easy to become hijacked by their powerful influence. Emotions can cloud your judgment, derail your progress, and hinder your pursuit of dreams.
That's where Living Deliberately steps in with its powerful 3-step approach. It all begins with mastering the art of handling these pivotal moments. By developing emotional resilience, you can confidently navigate the moments that pave the way to your dreams and goals.
Tune in to this week's episode where I offer a practical and actionable approach to creating real change in your life. Discover the tools that empower you to overcome obstacles, embrace resilience, and unlock your true potential.

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by the emotions of others?
Here's a gentle reminder: You are not accountable for the emotions of others.
Period.
Far too often, we shoulder the burden of others' hurt, sadness, and anger, believing it is our responsibility to fix everything and ensure everyone's happiness. However, it is vital to acknowledge that each person is responsible for their own emotions.
Redirect your focus to what you can control: your own feelings and emotions.
By establishing and honoring emotional boundaries, you empower yourself to prioritize your well-being and foster healthier relationships.
Remember, it's perfectly fine to offer support and empathy, but it is equally important to maintain a healthy distinction between your emotions and those of others.

Have you ever waited for a "thank you" that never came?
Maybe you went out of your way for someone or maybe you gave a gift to someone, but the words "thank you" never left their lips.
Not being appreciated can be hurtful because you know YOU would never do such a thing to THEM!
When the "thank you" doesn't come, you may try to drag the "thank you" out of them or complain to them or try to teach them a lesson.
But does that work?
Or does it make things worse?

Do you ever find yourself involved in one activity when you know you should be involved in another... but you can't seem to just get away from it? Like when...
- You finish off a box of cookies when you know you should be cleaning up the kitchen
- You stay late at work even when you know you should be spending more time with your family
- You scroll on social media even when you know you should be going for a walk
This kind of behavior happens to all of us.
The solution seems obvious.
JUST STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND DO THE OTHER THING!
And yet, I'm sure you've experienced this before - it's not as simple or as easy as that.
It's hard to get away.
And when we stay emotionally stuck in it, we end up regretting our behavior.

In other words, do you ever portray yourself as a victim (whether of circumstances or of other people’s behavior) in order to gain sympathy from others?
I think we all have a tendency to play the victim more than we'd like to admit.
And yet, playing the victim doesn't empower us. In fact, when we play the victim, we give our power away.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how when I got pulled over by the police last week, I deliberately chose NOT to play the victim - and what I did instead in order to handle the situation well.

Surprises can be great.
But they can also feel awful.
Especially when you are surprised by something you didn't expect to happen.
Your default reaction to something negative you didn't expect to happen is often automatic rejection.
Your automatic mind goes to a place of not being able to accept reality as it's presented to you at that moment.
And yet, resisting reality is what gets you stuck.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn what you can consider the next time you get surprised, so you can be able to move on from it.

Have you ever had the experience where...
Someone says something to you that on the surface doesn't seem like a big deal, but you take it to heart, or when...
Someone tries to get clarity from you, but you take it personally, or when...
Someone is being judgmental and you start to second guess yourself?
All of these situations have the potential to create a feeling of inadequacy in you.
The words people say can often make you feel "less than," incompetent, or even worthless.
What's important to remember is that feeling inadequate is not the same as believing you are inadequate.
There is a difference between the two.
In this week's episode, learn more about what you can do the next time you are feeling inadequate in an awkward social situation.

Are you the kind of person who tends to overly apologize?
Over-apologizing is when you say "sorry" when you don't need to.
This could be when you didn't do anything wrong, but you take responsibility for it anyway.
Like when...
The waiter brings you the wrong order and you apologize for the mistake.
Or you apologize for bothering the clerk at the store, even though it's their job to assist you.
Or maybe while checking out at the supermarket, the cashier's machine breaks, and you turn to the person behind you in line and apologize for taking so long.
There may be many reasons why we do this, but the bottom line is, apologizing when there's no need is a problem.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and how you can practice being unapologetic today!
When you get emotionally triggered, a story automatically forms in your mind.
And when that happens, you feel absolutely right about your story and your reaction to it feels totally justified.
The problem is, you don't always know the full story.
And there always is more to the story than what you believe.
Tune in to this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to learn more about why it would be advantageous for you to learn the whole story before you emotionally react.

Do you ever experience feeling nervous?
Like when...
- You have to have an uncomfortable conversation with a friend,
- You need to write a difficult email to a co-worker,
- You want to share your thoughts, but you get nervous about what people may think of you.
Getting stuck on nervousness can completely sabotage that moment.
And the more moments that get sabotaged in your life, the more your quality of life will get diminished.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how you can get CLEAR the next time you feel nervous so that instead of getting left behind, you can take your best steps forward with a feeling of clarity, confidence, and courage.

We walk around with stories all the time.
Stories about other people and stories about ourselves.

Think back to the last time someone said something hurtful to you.
Can you recall how that felt?
Do you remember holding onto negative feelings about that person?
Well, if you did, I want to reassure you... that is normal.
It's natural to want to be liked and it hurts to be treated coldly.
And yet, if you're feeling stuck on hurt, chances are your emotions are lingering.
And that's likely because you haven't completely gotten unSTUCK.
This is what happened to one of the members of my community, The Living Deliberately Circle.
She was feeling angry about a situation, but didn't quite know how to shake the negative feelings.
Tune into this week's "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to hear how I helped this woman go back into "the moment" in order to get unSTUCK using The unSTUCK Method. (And check out what the result was!)

Have you ever been in a situation where you accidentally trigger someone else?
Like maybe you interrupt them, finish their sentence, or perhaps simply respond to something they said, but they weren't interested in your response.
If you've ever been in such a situation, you know how frustrating it can feel.
And that's because you didn't have any intentions to trigger them.
It just happened.
But they blame you anyway.
Can you imagine...
Letting go of the need to right - for the sake of not staying stuck?

It's very easy to look backward and get mad at yourself.
For not being better.
For not doing better.
For not being perfect.
And yet, unless you are learning something from those past experiences, beating yourself up about them doesn't help.
In fact, it only keeps you stuck.
That's why it's so essential that you know how to be kind to yourself.
And hold yourself in self-compassion, no matter what happened in the past.

When you get triggered, it's normal to react automatically.
Which may look like blaming, complaining, or losing control.
That's not your fault - that's just your brain's way of protecting you.
But...
What if you could take RESPONSE-ABILITY instead?
So rather than having a knee-jerk reaction, you respond deliberately?

Do you know how I know?
Because as humans, we walk around with stories.

For many people, when they feel stressed or anxious or overwhelmed, they turn to food to soothe themselves.
Why do they do this, if they know at the end of the day, it's not good for them?

When was the last thing you committed to something, but didn't follow through on?
ALL judgments aside!
This is not about being perfect, but rather it's about waking up to noticing the excuses you may be making in your life (whether you are aware of them or not) that are holding you back from being the person you truly want to be and living the life you truly want to live.
In every moment you have the opportunity to make a choice.
It's just that sometimes we make excuses for why we can't show up as our best selves.

There is an emotional element to everything in life.
And that includes eating.
As humans, we have a tendency to want to avoid feeling uncomfortable emotions - and that resistance can lead to us numbing our emotions.
Some people have a tendency to turn to alcohol or drugs or social media or Netflix to avoid feeling hard feelings.
And others turn to food.
And I'm one of those people.
Emotional (or disordered) eating can lead to serious health problems. Unfortunately, most people turn to dieting before they turn to the root cause of their problems, which is, of course, being able to handle their emotions during everyday emotional situations in their life.
In this week's podcast, you will hear my journey with emotional (and disordered) eating and the approach I am taking to resolve it.

Would you say you are a person who:
a) reacts automatically to things and makes quick decisions, or
b) questions what you see and hear, and takes your mind to respond to things?
When we live on autopilot and react quickly to things, it has the potential to get us stuck.
But, when we learn to pause and question things (what others say, including what we say to ourselves), we can live more proactively and stop making complaining, blaming, and making excuses for not living our best lives.

When someone else is upset or disappointed in you, it is very easy to take things personally.
It actually seems natural to take things personally, specifically when you are somehow involved in the conversation or interaction with that other person.
And yet, taking things personally is actually a choice.
The truth of the matter is, how someone else is reacting, what they are saying, and who they are being, has nothing to do with you.
It only has to do with them.
I know that may be hard to wrap your head around, but it's true.
You can choose to get unSTUCK from taking things personally.

Human beings are much more similar to one another than they are different.
And yet we walk around as if our life experiences are totally unique to us, even though, the likelihood is, that most of the people around you are either experiencing similar (or the exact) things as you or b) they are afraid to be vulnerable and let you know.

Where do you experience fear in your life?
Do you have a fear of...
Being judged by other people?
Not being able to handle your triggers and losing control?
Messing up your children's lives and never being able to repair them?
Fear is the most pervasive emotion we feel as human beings.
And yet, most of the fears we face are not real life and death situations.
Rather, they are fears we create in our own minds.
But, if we can learn how to manage our fears, we would be able to live our lives with more of a sense of inner peace and even confidence to know that we can, indeed, handle difficult emotions.
I faced fear in an extreme way a few days ago while I was on a weekend getaway with some friends.
I went on a walk by myself, not realizing what was waiting for me.

Have you ever had to have an uncomfortable conversation with someone but you avoided it because you were nervous you wouldn’t be able to handle it? Or you were afraid of what their reaction may be or that you may hurt them unintentionally?
Avoiding difficult conversations is something a lot of people do.
But the truth is, if you know HOW to handle an uncomfortable emotion, it's actually not as difficult or as scary as it may seem.
In fact, having difficult conversations can feel empowering and can inspire others to do the same.

When you are headed into a future moment that you are anticipating or feeling nervous or worried about, what do you do?
I'm talking about anything from having an uncomfortable conversation with someone to heading into an important meeting to needing to speak in front of a crowd - and even to going into a stressful work week.
How do you mentally prepare yourself for those challenging situations?
Me? I get CLEAR.
By getting CLEAR I go through a step-by-step process that empowers me to reduce my anxiety, release my expectations, and decide ahead of time who it is I am going to be - no matter what may arise.
And that's exactly what I did this week.

Feeling stressed is something we're all too familiar with.
And when we feel stressed, we don't have any qualms about expressing that to ourselves and to the people around us.
"I'M SO STRESSED!"
But, what's interesting is, when you stop to really notice what you're actually feeling in that moment, there may be a feeling that is even more accurate than feeling "stressed."
We tend to clump our emotions together in only a few categories (like stressed, angry, and frustrated) which is problematic because understanding our emotions and being able to clearly identify which emotions we are really feeling is half the battle in getting unstuck.
Tune in to this week's podcast episode to hear what I did when I found myself saying that I was stressed - and see what you can do when you find yourself doing the same.

Human beings live in stories. That's what it means to be human.
You may not realize you live in stories, but you do.
In fact, you live much more in "storyland," than you do in "factland."
And while sometimes those stories can serve us, often they don't.
And that's when we get stuck.
Tune in to this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything," podcast to hear how I got myself unstuck from the story that I couldn't enroll in a course that I really knew would benefit me, and hear how my story can inspire you to do the same.

What is your biggest fear?
What is something that you avoid because you're afraid you can't handle it?
Maybe it's having a difficult conversation with someone or making new friends or leaving a job, or even a relationship.
How is avoiding serving you in your life?
Can you see how avoiding may actually be keeping you back?
Where can you imagine getting unSTUCK and getting CLEAR so that you can face the fear and get to the other side?
That's what I did last week while I was on a retreat on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
Tune in to hear the story and see where it may inspire you in your life as well.

Anytime you go into a future moment (no matter what that future moment is), it's an opportunity to get CLEAR. The mistake is that most people think it ends there. But, it doesn't!
If you want to live an awakened life, it's important to keep getting CLEAR, moment by moment, so that you are mentally prepared for anything!

Do you ever get mad at yourself? *For making bad decisions?
*For reacting automatically?
*For not showing up as you said you would?
This happens to all of us.
But if we don't practice some self-compassion, we'll just continue staying stuck on being mad at ourselves - and that certainly won't get us very far.
Tune in to hear more about how you can start to cultivate self-compassion in your life.

When you feel stuck, pausing feels like the last thing you want to do.
Instead, your mind (in its way of innocently wanting to protect you) will prefer to stay stuck.
Your mind will prefer to stay right, to have the last word, or to stay in the status quo, rather than make the effort to get unstuck.
And yet, doing any of those above things won't get you any closer to getting unstuck.
Do you know what will?
Taking a pause.
The pause is powerful - way beyond its simplicity. And it's the foundation for emotional health and well-being.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how the pause saved a challenging stuck spot I was in last week.

How good are you with gift-giving? I don't know about you, but I sometimes get stuck on buying gifts.
And while you can turn to Amazon (or other online stores) to make the gift-giving process quick and easy, I invite you to consider outside the "Amazon box" the next time you need to give a gift.
Tune in to this week's episode to see how I considered thinking outside the "Amazon box" when it came to coming up with a gift for my sister for her 50th birthday, and how you can, too.
You can watch the video montage that went along with the song I gifted to my sister on my Facebook page. Click here.
Human beings are complicated, and living a human life is hard. We are built on many levels: the physical, mental, spiritual, and of course, the emotional.
And as human beings, we are meant to feel the full spectrum of emotions.
And there is no one person who has more legitimacy over their emotions than another.
When you believe you don't have the legitimacy to feel something, that's the moment you will likely get stuck.

Do you know what you can expect from anything you do in life? You can expect to fall off track.
Falling off track is simply part of the process.
There is no one (and I mean no one) who achieves success without falling off track.
The problem, most people consider falling off track a "failure" when in truth, it is not.
And because they see it as a "failure," they quit while they're ahead, rather than getting unstuck from the feelings of embarrassment, shame, and self-doubt and then getting themselves back on track.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn how you can learn how to fall forward in your life.
Can I tell you a little secret?
You can handle anything!
Now, what that means (and what it doesn't) you'll hear on today's episode.

I screwed up.
I mean, I really screwed up.
It wasn't like an "end of the world" screw-up.
But, it was a screw-up, indeed.
And boy did I feel dumb.
And embarrassed.
And mad at myself.
But I got unstuck by forgiving myself (because I didn't think the other option was any better).

What is one thing that irritates you in your life?
Maybe it's a person or maybe it's a bad trait or habit that you're trying to kick, but can't.
We all have one thing or another.
And we all have been in a place where we wished that thing would just go away.
If you ever stopped to wonder why your problems never go away, there's a reason.
In fact, there's a good reason - and one you should know about.

The foundation for being Emotionally Equipped is the "pause."
My tools, getting unSTUCK, getting CLEAR, and Living Deliberately work best when you know how to incorporate taking pauses throughout the day, moment by moment.
In addition to this, I am a big proponent of implementing additional pauses in your life: weekly, monthly, and even yearly.
This is a great time to take a pause, reflect on the past year, and look ahead into the coming year.

Would you consider yourself a judgmental person?
I know I don't.
And yet, I know I am.
And the truth is, I know you are, too.
We all are.
We can't help being judgmental - that's just how the mind works. In fact, the job of the mind is to have an opinion on things - that's how it keeps us safe.
And yet, being judgmental often doesn't serve us, nor does it serve others in our lives, which is why it's worthwhile to practice being non-judgmental as often as you can - for your sake, and for the sake of those you love.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how I got unstuck from being judgmental, and how you can, too.

Don't you hate it when bad things happen to you?
It's so hard and frustrating and irritating!
You just want to blame everyone for it, right?
The problem is, when you do this, you end up playing the victim.
You throw all your power away and you get stuck.
Have you considered ditching the "victim" mentality and picking up a "hero" one instead?

When someone is angry, consider it's not about you.
Even if you are part of their story, their anger has nothing to do with you.
Their anger has to do with them.
Their emotions are generated from within their own minds and they are responsible for them.
You can help deflate their anger, not by changing who you are, but by accepting this truth.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear exactly how I did just that.

Sometimes we make mistakes.
And when we do, we need to own up to them.
And hopefully, the person we wronged will forgive us.
But life can be funny sometimes.
Because sometimes the mistake you thought you made, wasn't perceived as a mistake.
It was just perceived as an action you did - that had no bad intentions tied to it.
But, getting to that place of knowing can be tricky.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how I got CLEAR when I thought I totally blew it with my husband this week, but apparently, I didn't.

Every time we get stuck we have a choice.
Get unstuck or stay stuck.
It's really as simple as that.
But, as humans, we complicate things.
And so, rather than getting unstuck, we choose to stay stuck for any number of reasons.
But the choice to get unstuck always exists.
Always.

Do celebrate success in your life?
And by that, I don't mean big successes, like running a marathon, losing a ton of weight, or finishing a Ph.D.
Rather, I mean the small successes that you had to overcome in order to reach the big ones.
Like your early morning runs, or pausing before you eat so you can make a mindful choice, or focusing for a certain amount of time.
Those actions are no less worthy of celebrating than the big wins, and yet, so many people don't even consider doing so.
But having a tradition of celebrating your wins (big and small) can be very motivating and very worth your while.
Tune in to this week's Emotionally Equipped podcast to hear more about how I celebrate success in my life and how you may want to start a similar tradition, too.
On today's episode, I had the privilege to interview Nancy Lubars, a graduate of the Emotionally Equipped for Life course.
In this episode, Nancy shares why she chose to enroll in the course (despite being a licensed psychotherapist and having a lot of professional knowledge and experience), offers an inspiring unstuck story, and talks a bit about her experiences inside of the Emotionally Equipped Circle.

This is my husband. A couple of days ago he participated in the Jerusalem Marathon. My husband came in 8th place. And he's 50 years old. Boaz (my husband) didn't run a marathon for nearly 5 years. His injuries kept him from achieving his goals. But, his injuries didn't keep him from showing up. Through pain, disappointment, horrendous weather (both extreme hot and cold), early mornings, and lots of other sacrifices, he kept showing up. Every. Single. Day. He was being dedicated. He was being determined. He was being focused. And he knows how to get himself unstuck. This is what success looks like to me. Not that he completed the marathon. Not that he achieved 8th place. And not even that he was able to participate in it. But because of who is was being (and continues to be). Your way of being determines everything. Tune in to this week's episode to hear how my husband got CLEAR (twice) and how his story may inspire you to do the same.
My husband is planning to participate in the Jerusalem Marathon this week - and I'm so excited for him.
It's been a long time coming and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get to this point.
The thing is, my husband and I don't live in Jerusalem.
We live about two hours north of Jerusalem which means if he wanted to create the easiest morning for himself, it would be best if my husband stayed in Jerusalem the night before.
Tune in to hear the story of what happened when he asked me (kind of last-minute) to help him find a place to stay.
My initial reaction wasn't really aligned with the person I wanted to be and so I got unSTUCK and chose another way.
And I invite you to do the same.

The only reason we get stuck in the first place is due to unmet expectations.
The truth is, we don't even realize we're walking around with expectations half the time, but of course, we are.
And it's those expectations that end up hurting us.
But, when you practice releasing them ahead of time, you can avoid getting stuck.
Tune into this week's episode where I share a story about helping my children release their expectations while we were on our way to the circus.
A couple of weeks ago my husband and I went on a retreat.
He surprised me with a totally unexpected gift.
And for that I acknowledged him.

A few days ago, I participated in one of the biggest open-water swimming events in the world: The crossing of the Sea of Galilee.
It was an exciting and exhilarating event.
But the best part was that I shared the experience with a friend.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear more about our experiences and how we got mentally prepared for it.
Sometimes we go into future moments believing we know what will happen.
In fact, we often do this.
We do this because the mind likes things to be predictable.
And in that fashion, the mind will predict what will happen based on what it already knows from past experiences.
The problem is, when we go into a future event closed-minded, we aren't open to other possibilities occurring.
Tune in to hear how I released my experiences after returning home from a trip and because of that I didn't get stuck.
It's so easy (and so very common!) to get insulted.
And yet, you actually don't have to.
There is another way to live which is so much more freeing rather than getting stuck on insult.

There is nothing like speaking a common language with them, and by that, I don't mean your mother tongue.

There's nothing worse than living with regret.
All of us have done things, said things, or acted in ways in the past that we wish we hadn't.
But, living in regret doesn't help one bit.

If you are feeling stuck, there's a good chance you are standing in judgment: whether that's judging yourself, judging someone else, or judging something.

A few days ago I visited two young men who were brutally attacked during a senseless and heinous hate crime.
There were family, friends, and community members at this gathering to show support for these young men.

This is where I started to get stuck.

Setting boundaries is an essential tool for living the life you want to live.
Setting boundaries is something you do for yourself as a way of protecting yourself.
Boundaries are not about controlling another person and they are not meant to be created as a way to manipulate other people.
They are about setting clear limits so others know where you stand on things.

For whatever reason, it is often easier to commit to other people than it is to commit to ourselves.
We get stuck in lots of thoughts and emotions (it's not important, missing it for one day is no big deal, no one will notice, etc.) which not only leads us to inaction, it leads us to not fully respecting ourselves.

After the recent war, the Muslim woman from the village down the road from the community where I live requested a gathering.
Women only.

Those of us present believed there is no other way.
At that meeting I got stuck on shame and embarrassment, but got unSTUCK when I made an important decision.

We are given opportunities to appreciate every day.
We often think the only things we should appreciate are the things we are grateful for.
And yet, we can also learn to appreciate the things we may not necessarily grateful for at first glance.
Because even in those places (and sometimes especially in those places) exist the most opportunities for growth and learning – and therefore, can be things we learn to value and appreciate.
Tune in to this week's podcast to learn more about where you can create pockets of appreciation in your life.
This month, I invite you to practice being appreciative.
At the latest gathering of the Emotionally Equipped Circle, one of the participants asked me if there is a difference between practicing gratitude and practicing appreciation.

Far too often we get into the habit of living our lives in certain ways without giving it too much thought.
In a way, we walk around half a sleep, even if knowing that "waking up" would actually improve our lives in countless ways.
One way to get out of the habit of being yourself is to question everything.
While it can be scary to do so, I do believe more often than not, the benefits of doing so outweigh the risks.

I am sure you have lots of traditions in your life.
Many of them have probably been passed down to you generation to generation, and others may have been traditions you created on your own.

Tune in to this week's episode to learn how you can get unSTUCK from breaking traditions you no longer want or need in your life, and get CLEAR with creating new ones.

When you learn about the mind, you realize something curious: that the mind often innocently works against you.
You would think that your mind should be working for you, and in a way it does - when it keeps you safe and out of harm's way.
But often when the mind is doing that, what it's also doing is keeping you back from evolving and living to your truest potential.
So rather than depending on your mind when you get stuck, I invite you to consider depending on your tools.

In celebration of my 200th episode, I decided to go a little vulnerable on this episode.
Instead of teaching about self-love, I decided to share a story of where and how I recently had to get myself unSTUCK from self-loathing and instead deliberately choose to love myself.
So many people fall into the trap of self-resentment.

In this week's podcast episode, I share with you a new tool I've been working on behind the scenes with my husband for about a year.
This is a tool that has powerfully supported our marriage and therefore, I wanted to share it with my podcast listeners.

Tune in to learn more and if you do try out this tool in your relationship, please share with me your experiences with it!

Do you ever feel held back by things you want to do or goals you want to achieve?
There's a name for this. It's called "self-sabotage" and there's a simple reason why this may be happening to you.
It has to do with your feelings.
The good thing is, it is possible to live a life without self-sabotage, if you know how to avoid it.
In this episode I teach you 3 simple, but power ways to do so.

In any and every relationship, you have the choice to be loving.
No matter what the circumstances are around you, no matter how other people are acting, and no matter how other people are being, you can choose to be loving.
You don't have to let other people determine the way you want to show up in the world.
How you show up in the world is always your choice.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about where and how you can practice being more loving in your life.
So many people have a fear of being self-expressed.
Which makes a lot of sense.
It's only natural to want to be liked - and when you are self-expressed it exposes you to the possibilities of people creating negative opinions of you.
The problem is, when you don't allow yourself to be self-expressed, your emotions get bottled up inside of you - until at some point you can't hold onto those feelings any longer - and you just automatically burst.
It takes courage to be self-expressed.
And it takes practice to get unSTUCK and get CLEAR so you can courageously be the self-expressed person you are meant to be.

When you are feeling stuck, you are probably "being" someone you don't want to be.
You get hijacked by your emotions and your emotions take control of the real you.
But when you go through the process of getting unSTUCK, there's an opportunity for you to shift.
To shift out of who you were being and into the person you truly want to be.
It's simple, but not easy.

Do you ever get stuck on caring what other people think of you?
It's a very common human behavior to do this. We come from a tribal background where fitting in literally often meant a matter of life or death. But there are lots of problems with this: You may not ever be able to change to their desires. If you are able to change, you'll become someone who you're not. * You can't control other people's opinions anyway. In the Living Deliberately community this month, we are focusing on and internalizing the word "Courage." I have lots of different definitions for courage. One of which is letting others be wrong about you. I think that takes courage. Tune in to this week's Living Deliberately podcast to hear more.

2021 has just begun.
And with it comes lots of feelings of excitement and hope.
Many people around this time make New Year's resolutions.
Unfortunately, statistics show that New Year's resolutions don't work.
And that's because New Year's resolutions are devoid of the secret to creating change.
The secret is not so much about the actions you take, but rather about something else entirely.
Tune in to learn more and to see what YOU can do this year to create the changes and improvements you are looking to create.

There are two ways to look at life:
That it's happening to you,
or that it's happening for you.
When you look at life from the latter, you realize what a gift it is.
Each of us is on our own healing journey.
It's very easy to feel fearful, uncertain, or hopeless when you aren't getting the results you want or hope to see. But staying in difficult emotions like that will only keep you stuck.
Getting unSTUCK and trusting the process will open your heart and mind to realize that life is unfolding exactly as it should for you, because it's exactly what you are experiencing and nothing different.
This is not an easy attitude to take, but what you focus on grows stronger.
The more you trust your life's process, the more will feel trusting.
I welcome your thoughts and responses as always!
This month, the Living Deliberately community focused on practicing generosity in their lives.
But have you ever stopped to consider what really is generosity?
Is generosity just a willingness to give support and help, or is something more?
Do you need to feel generous in order for something to be considered an act of generosity or are your feelings about it irrelevant?
Tune in to hear some thoughts I've been pondering this month and the conclusion I came to regarding what generosity really is.
I warmly welcome you to join us inside The Living Deliberately Hub on Facebook to continue the conversation and practice Living Deliberately each and every day!

Most people erroneously believe that it's the things outside of them (like, the people and circumstances in their lives) that cause them to feel the things they feel.
But, the truth is, feelings come from within.
Feelings are generated by the thoughts you choose to believe.
No one and nothing can make you feel anything you don't want to.
What you feel is always a choice.
The power is always within you.
Tune in to learn more about creating feelings on purpose!

Do you experience anxiety sometimes?
A lot of people do, whether they realize it or not (or whether they want to admit it or not).
And the truth is, people are feeling anxious now more than ever.
Anxiety is a difficult emotion to experience and most people aren't equipped to cope with it.
And so, they resist feeling the anxiety, so they don't have to feel that difficult emotion.
The problem is, resisting your feelings never helps you feel better. Ever.
But, there is another way.
Join me for this week's Living Deliberately podcast episode to learn more about the key to coping with anxiety.
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK, getting CLEAR, and Living Deliberately with you,
Shira

I was speaking with my parents the other day who told me that because of Corona restrictions, they are most likely going to have to spend Thanksgiving without family and friends this year.
I'm sure they are not alone in feeling stuck with the reality of the situation due to Corona/COVID.
If you are feeling stuck as well, tune into this episode to see what you can do.
I welcome your responses to the episode in an iTunes review, response on my website, or sharing a comment on Instagram.
Maintaining your emotional health and well-being is just as important as the other things you work to maintain in your life, such as your car, your physical health, or your job.
Good emotional health and well-being isn't a birthright. It's something that needs to be cultivated on a daily basis.
Tune in to hear about some of the things that I do to maintain my emotional health and well-being.
I'd love to hear more about yours. I welcome your responses inside the Living Deliberately Facebook group.
It's certainly not pleasant to live with someone you believe has a disgusting habit.
What should you do?
Try to change their habit?
What if they don't have the power to change it?
How is it possible to go on living with someone you feel so ashamed about?
Tune in to learn how you can get unSTUCK from feeling disgust about your partner's disgusting habit.
Last week (episode 183), I shared about creating "crazy" goals.
This week, I share with you why it's not about the goals.
No, my intention is not to confuse you, but rather it's to challenge you to look at your own life and realize where does your sense of purpose really lie - in achieving the goal or in becoming the person you want to become while on your way to achieving the goal.
Tune in to learn more.
I'd be grateful to hear your comments!
Living Deliberately is about playing it big.
It's about giving yourself permission to dream.
It's about taking leaps of faith.
It's about creating crazy goals to stretch and evolve you into the next best version of yourself.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn why you may want to consider creating crazy goals in your life.
In my private community on Facebook, I lead monthly group Challenges.

I recently posted a question on Facebook in three different places and was fascinated by the responses I received.
"If you could name one thing, what would you say is the most important thing in your life?"
How would you respond?
Tune in to this week's podcast episode to hear my response. It may catch you by surprise.
Optical illusions occur when the brain perceives something that in reality, may or may not exist.
The way we perceive things in the world is not only what we take in with our eyes, but how our mind interprets that information.
Many people are familiar with optical illusions in the form of artwork, but have you ever considered the optical illusions that exist in your life?
They do exist and they are boundless.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about optical illusions and what you can do to be aware of them in order to improve your emotional health and well-being.
Yesterday, I sat in solitude in the forest near my home for the purpose of reading through the journals I wrote in over the past year.
The purpose of this exercise was to remind me of where I "missed the mark" (and also a reminder of where I "hit the mark.")
Tune in to hear why you may want to pick up a journaling practice (if you don't have one already). And why you may also want to create a yearly tradition of reading through your journals for the purpose of sharpening your efforts of living deliberately.
When you get triggered, there are only two options of responding:
1) With a childhood reaction, or
2) With an adult response.
Adult responses are defined by how you consciously choose to show up, not necessarily how others behave.
They're about how you choose to respond, despite how others act.
They are powerful because you are not dependent on others for your emotional health and well-being.
Adult responses are about taking full responsibility for your own happiness (as well as taking full responsibility for your unhappiness.)
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn more about adult responses and where you may want to consciously create more of these in your life.
When you get triggered, there are only two options of responding:
1) With a childhood reaction, or
2) With an adult response.
Many of us respond with childhood reactions because that is what we are most familiar with and have more experience responding in this way.
Yet, childhood reactions typically do not help us, they do not help the other people involved, and they don't help resolve the situation.
And yet, we often continue to express ourselves with childhood reactions nonetheless.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn why we have childhood reactions and where you can wake up to them so you can consciously choose if and how you may want to respond alternatively.
Living Deliberately is a framework for living.
It includes understanding the big picture of what it is you want to create - (Episode 175)
And the moments in time that comprise the time as you go from "here" to "there."
Identifying and visualizing what it is you want to create or change can be very exciting. But, if you don't keep in mind the moments in time that you will face along the way, you may not only get stuck, you may not know how to get yourself out of the pitfalls you find yourself falling into.
Tune in to today's episode to learn more about moments in time.
Living Deliberately is a framework for living that incorporates two main parts:
The big picture (what it is you want to create and who you need to be to manifest that),
and the moments in time that comprise the big picture.
While the moments in time are crucial for achieving our goals, often we get stuck in them and forget to see the big picture.
When living deliberately, it is important to appreciate and respect both aspects in order to continue moving forward.
Today is the birthday of my new book, The CLEAR Way: Five Simple Steps to Be Mentally Prepared for Anything.
You can grab your copy on Amazon. (On launch day, Tuesday August 25th, the book is available for FREE on Kindle!)
In today's podcast, I share with you some excerpts from the book and a few testimonials from those who graciously participated on my book launch team.
I am grateful to be able to celebrate this occasion with you today!
Thank you for being a part of it.

What would you say is the greatest legacy you can leave your children?
If you could leave just one thing to your children, what would that one thing be?
Today, I invite you to consider that the greatest legacy you can leave for others is your ways of being.
Who you are and how you show up in the world on a regular basis - when things are easy and even when the going gets rough.
Because your ways of being can (and do) have a ripple effect on others which can impact generations.
There may be nothing more important in your life than you ways of being.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear a story about my father's ways of being which influenced a decision I had to make just two weeks ago, and why you may want to identify and commit to your ways of being starting today.

Last week I had an idea to create senseless love in my community.
I never heard of such an idea before, but I thought it would be a worthwhile effort.

When you feel stuck, you get stuck on a particular emotion.
The question is, is it possible to feel better when you are deeply attached to a difficult emotion?
The answer is "yes."
Tune in to this week's podcast episode to learn more about creating the emotions you want to feel.

We get stuck when something happens that we didn't expect.
In a state of shock or surprise, we get stuck on what we believe should have happened instead of what actually did.
Yet, if we can practice releasing our expectations (or fully accepting the opposite of what we wish will happen), we can reduce the chance of getting stuck in the first place.
Tune into this week's podcast episode to hear about how I got stuck during a recent guitar lesson and what I learned from that experience moving forward regarding radical acceptance.
In this episode, I share with you an excerpt from my book, The CLEAR Way, which will be published on Tuesday, August 25th, 2020.

Let's say you want to become more confident.
Or more loving.
Or more patient.
Or more satisfied.
How do you do that, when naturally, you are anything but those things?
Tune into today's podcast episode to learn more and see how you can apply these teachings to your life!
Have you ever had the experience of feeling misunderstood?
Or not feeling understood at all?
They say sharing a common language with others is key for having clear communication.
However, my experience has shown me that even when I communicate in a shared language with someone else, it doesn't always lead to such clarity.
However, communicating in the language used in the world of "Living Deliberately" does!
Tune in to hear such success stories and why you may want to consider acquiring this language in your life, too.

Which would you say is more accurate in your life:
That life is happening to you or that you are creating the life you want to be living?
Living Deliberately is about looking into the future and deciding ahead of time what you want your future to look like and then living in alignment according to that clear view, no matter how life unfolds.
Tune in to this podcast episode to learn more about what it means to be future oriented.

Have you ever been in a place where you need to make a decision, but instead you find yourself saying:
"I don't know what to do."
"I don't know what to decide."
"I'm afraid."
Lacking self-trust of your decisions can hold you back from living the life you want to live.
I don't know anyone who wants to look back at their life and feel regret that they couldn't make the decisions they actually wanted to make because they were stuck on fear.
Tune in to this week's Living Deliberately Together podcast episode to hear a few stories about self-trust and what you can do in your life to create more confidence with the decisions you want to make.

Getting rejected is a difficult thing.
It can hurt you emotionally and it can hold you back.
But, does it need to?
Is there a way to live deliberately with (and despite of) rejection?

Don't forget to check out The Living Deliberately Blueprint!
While there may be more than one area of your life you would like to see a change, attempting to create too many changes at the same time may prove to be futile.
Therefore, rather than trying to tackle everything at once, consider creating a long-term "greater goal."
Having a "greater goal" will help you feel more focused and will help you stay more accountable to your actions, as you effectively and efficiently journey forward towards creating the life you want and creating the life you want to live.
Don't forget: If you would like support and guidance as you move along your personal journey, reach out to me so we can discuss the various options for getting you started!
"Respect" was the focus of discussion in this month's "Living Deliberately Together" on-line gathering.
I prompted those in attendance to reflect upon where respect shows up (or doesn't show up) in their lives, what respect looks like, and where they want to see more of it in the world.
Tune in to this week's podcast episode to hear more about that conversation and the interesting unexpected twist that came from it.
I warmly invite you to join me at the next "Living Deliberately Together" gathering next month. Stay in the know via my weekly newsletter and the Living Deliberately Together Facebook group.
When things are not going right in your life, it is far easier to blame others, than it is to take 100% responsibility for what's going on and how you are feeling.
Your lower brain is going to do what it does best: reach for the most efficient and effective way to resolve your situation: which is to say, to blame others.
Yet, blaming doesn't help your situation. It will only keep you stuck.
Tune into this week's episode where I share a few of my "stuck on blame" stories and what I did to get unSTUCK and get CLEAR so that I can continue living my life deliberately.
It's normal to want to feel liked by others.
Yet, it's not your responsibility to change yourself for the sake of anyone else.
If someone else is stuck on something you said or did, it's not your responsibility to get them unSTUCK.
It's theirs.
But, if you are trying to live deliberately, it is your responsibility to identify who it is you want to be in the world and commit to actually showing up that way.
Are there areas in your life where you find yourself "people pleasing" because you don't feel comfortable when others don't seem to like or accept you?
Tune in to hear a personal story that happened in my life recently and how it may inspire you to take a better look at yours.

The moment you set out to create something new, whether that's
- losing weight
- starting to exercise
- improving a relationship
- or anything else
there's a certain excitement and powerful energy that comes along with it.
In fact, you are so hopeful in that moment that you will indeed manifest what it is you set out to create that there's not a thought in your mind that you may fall along the way.
But, the truth of the matter is, falling off track is a built in part of the process.
And what's even more true, there's actually nothing wrong with that.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and to see how this can resonate with you in your life.
I am incredibly to share with you all about my new program, the on-line global gathering called, "Living Deliberately Together!"

There are many ways to achieve a goal.
One way is to set clear objectives.
Another way is to have an accountability partner.
A third is to check in with your "ways of being."
If you are looking to create change in your life, the most efficient way to do so is by focusing on who you are being much more than what you are doing.
Tune in to this week's podcast to learn all about different ways you can practice stepping into your chosen ways of being.
Living deliberately is about deciding what want to create and then consciously manifesting it.
But, if your eyes are only on the end goal, you're missing the bigger picture.
Because living deliberately is not just about getting from here to there, but rather it's about being thoroughly present in the process of getting from here to there.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more.
There are many ways to "be" in the world.
Happy, joyful, positive, calm, mindful, loving, peaceful, confident, motivated, focused, easy-going... the list can go on and on.
It is impossible to be all of these ways all of the time.
But, it is possible to choose 3 on which to focus and ground you.
Just like a tree, you require roots. Your 3 ways of being represent your foundation and the place from which you can grow, expand and evolve.
Tune in to today's episode to learn how you can choose your 3 ways of being.

If you could make any change in your life right now, what would it be?
Most likely you would answer one specific area of your life, like improving a relationship with a spouse, a relationship with a child or parent, something related to your physical health, or something else specific.
Yet, there's a risk at only looking at that one area of your life when it comes to your personal happiness.
The risk is not seeing the big picture, the whole "pie" as one of my teachers once taught me.
Personal happiness is achieved not by fixing one area of your life, but looking at your life in its entirety.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about taking the first step to improving happiness in your life.
Creating change requires effort, but the process is not always easy.
You will be faced with all kinds of resistance, including fear, self-doubt, disbelief, and uncertainty.
Yet, living deliberately requires you to take unrelenting action towards your goals no matter what.
Living deliberately is not about yielding in strength or severity or determination once you set your goal.
It's about continuing to step up to the plate no matter how difficult or challenging attaining your goals may be.
It's about continuing to show up no matter if your lower brain begins to innocently work against you.
It's about getting up after you fall down because you made a commitment to yourself to do so and you want to live your life in integrity.
Tune in to today's episode to learn about taking unrelenting action.
What in your life do you want to create and what unrelenting action do you need to do in order to reach your goals?
There are three different ways you can deal with difficult emotions:
-
You can resist them,
-
You can act on them automatically, or
-
You can numb yourself from having to feel them.
Unfortunately, none of these ways help get you unSTUCK - in fact, each of them keep you stuck.
Tune in to learn what is the most effective and efficient thing you can do with your emotions in order to promote your emotional health and well-being and live a deliberate life.

So many people around the world are feeling stuck during this Corona pandemic.

In last week's episode, I spoke about what it is you want to create.
In this week's episode, I speak about your WHY.
Your WHY is incredibly important because if it's not compelling enough, than when you begin to step out onto your journey towards living deliberately, your lower mind will very likely hold you back, rather than support you in moving forward.
In this episode, I share with you about what I want to create during the Corona virus pandemic and what my WHY is.

To live a deliberate life, the first thing you need to do is know what your starting point is.
What's going on in your life that just isn't working for you or what's going on that you are less than satisfied with?
It all starts with awareness.
There may be more than once place, but for now, I encourage you to choose just one.
Once you identify that place, the next step is to recognize what it is you want to create.
Rather than asking yourself what it is you want to have, ask yourself what it is you want to create.
(The language you use in living the life you want to life is incredibly important!)
Tune in to today's episode to learn more about how you can access the "creator" qualities inside of you - and how you actually need to access these qualities if you want to change your life.

As I continue to grow and develop in my life (personally and professionally) so will this podcast.
I am beyond excited to share with you that the "Getting unSTUCK" podcast has taken on a new name, "Living Deliberately."
So, what does this mean technically and what can you expect?
Technically, there's not much of a difference. If you are a subscriber to this podcast, you will still receive the episodes straight to your podcast app. And I will still send the episodes via my weekly newsletter.
You can continue to expect from me personal "stuck" stories, as you have in the past. But, you can also expect from me more teachings related to Getting unSTUCK and Getting CLEAR, and the endless possibilities you can create for your life as you journey with me towards living deliberately!
www.shiragura.com
On March 9th, 2017, I published the first episode of this podcast.
For the past 3 years, Getting unSTUCK was my main goal in life, both personally and professionally.
But in the last year or so, I created a new tool that is deserving as much attention.
Both tools are incredibly powerful for creating change and transformation and both are necessary for living an emotionally healthy life.
So where did I get stuck this week?
With what to do with my podcast that I've grown and nurtured for the past 3 years!?!
Tune in to hear my latest thoughts and to learn how you can engage in an exciting opportunity with me.
I am a big fan and proponent of going on retreats.
I believe that going on a retreat, even just for a few days, can do wonders for your emotional health and well-being.
There are countless retreats being offered around the world all the time.
In this podcast episode I share with you 3 upcoming opportunities for you to retreat with me (2 in Israel and 1 in the States).
I hope you can join me on one of them.
But, even if you can't, I hope you consider the possibility of gifting yourself a retreat in 2020.

My grandmother passed away last week.
She was just shy of celebrating her 94th birthday.
I flew in from Israel to be with my family in mourning and in celebration of her life.
My father invited my siblings and me to speak at the funeral and I responded positively, but I got stuck on how to deliver a eulogy.
My almost 18-year-old daughter offered me the consideration to simply speak from the heart.
Tune in to hear how I did just that and consider where in your life you can do the same.
I did something the other week that was really stupid.
I mean, really, really stupid.
And I needed help to fix my mistake, but I got stuck on embarrassment and so I didn't want to share my mistake with anyone.
Has that ever happened to you?
Tune into to this week's (funny) story and learn how I considered being vulnerable in order to help me get unstuck.
And how you may want to consider the same in your life.
One of my main teachings with Getting unSTUCK and Getting CLEAR is to look forward, rather than to look back.
It's not really effective or efficient to look backwards because that's not the direction you are going.
Forward is.
In today's episode, I share with you all the goodness I intend to create, share, and offer you in 2020, and I warmly welcome you to join me wherever you can!

The episode you will hear today is NOT the episode I was planning to publish this week.
But, that's how life goes, isn't it?
Man plans, God laughs.
Tune in for this extemporaneous episode recorded by two of my kids.
And enjoy.
In episode 132 of this podcast, I spoke about considering turning holidays into Holy-days after I got stuck during holiday season.
In this week's podcast, I share with you how to avoid getting stuck in the first place as I introduce to you for the first time, a new method I created called, The CLEAR Way.
I will share more with you in 2020.
Looking forward to that!
I asked my husband if he'd like to go away for the weekend.
He told me "No, I'm going to be bored out of my wits if I go away on a weekend with you."
Can you believe that?!?
Well, you shouldn't.
He didn't really say that.
It's just what I heard.
And what I heard is the reason I got stuck.
Tune into this week's podcast episode to hear how I considered sharing with my husband what I heard him say (and not necessarily what he did say) in order to get myself unSTUCK.
Being able to differentiate between fact and story is one of the most important skills in learning how to get unSTUCK.
Where can you consider sharing with someone else what you heard, rather than what was said - in order to get unSTUCK and in order find healing?
Have you ever wished you could receive the opportunity for a redo?
Have you ever said something or done something that you just regretted and wished you could somehow repair it?
I believe there are many opportunities for redos in life (although sometimes they may not be so obvious and sometimes you may have to think outside the box for them) - but nonetheless, I do believe they exist.
Last week, I got stuck on being stingy when I could have been generous (with a delivery man).
And I got unSTUCK when I considered a redo.
Tune in to hear that story and how you may want to consider a redo in your life, too.
I kept repeating the words:
"I'm not good enough."
"I'm not good enough."
"I'm not good enough."
Although I wasn't even aware I was thinking that, let alone saying those words out loud!
But, apparently I was because my friend stopped me in my tracks when she said, "You must stop saying that about yourself!"
Tune in to hear what I was stuck on not being good enough about and how I considered taking baby steps in order to feel whole and complete.
And consider where in your life you can do the same!
If you listen until the very end, you'll hear one of my newest musical pieces.

Because our minds tend to think in historic patterns and familiar ways of thinking, we are often blinded by the choices that lay in front of us.
It is for this reason that we stay stuck.
Having a coach or a friend who can help guide you to see other ways of thinking can help you get unSTUCK, which is exactly what happened to me this week.
Tune in to hear how my friend (and fellow Getting unSTUCK coach) got me unSTUCK because she helped me see choices I couldn't see while I was stuck.
Bring to mind a recent stuck spot you were (or are) in. Expand your mind to see other possible alternatives to your story.
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you,

I don't know about you, but when holidays arrive, I tend to fall off my usual health and wellness routine.
Rather than waking up each morning and maintaining my morning wellness routine, I sleep in and just this small change sets off a negative domino-effect for my day.
Does this ever happen to you?
Does your health and wellness routine ever go by the wayside during holiday season for you?
I got myself unstuck from feeling frustrated for falling into this same pit hole again by considering turning my holidays into HOLY-DAYS.
Tune in to learn how you, too, can turn your holidays into HOLY-DAYS.
I absolutely cannot wait for the next holiday to come so that I can put my new learning into practice!
Have you joined the Challenge? We begin on Sunday, Nov 17th! www.shiragura.com/challenge
Do you feel like being Challenged?
Let's face it.
Getting unSTUCK is simple, but it's not always easy.
In fact, sometimes it's just really hard - because our minds want to hold on tightly to the stories we tell ourselves and we want to stay RIGHT!
Do you know why?
Well, letting go of a story often leads to fear of: Who would I be without my story?
And so, rather than letting go, we hold on to our stories for dear life.
The problem is, most of the stories that are going on in our minds aren't serving us and they aren't serving those around us.
And yet, getting unstuck can be hard!
So, sometimes you can just feel like you're going down a rabbi hole, unable to see or even know how to get out of it.
That's why I offer a FREE 3-Day Getting unSTUCK Challenge a few times a year.
This is an opportunity for you to really take a good look at one part of your life and start to acknowledge the potential for change that you'd like to create.
When you join the Challenge, you have the opportunity to meet me LIVE each day so that you can ask questions and get support along the way.
The Getting unSTUCK Challenge is a GREAT way to motivate you to start taking this work seriously.
Would you like to join me on the next Challenge?
We begin November 17th.

The stand-up comedian we hired for my brother-in-law's 40th surprise party cancelled 3 days before the event.
I got stuck on frustration, disappointment, worry, and anxiety.
And I got unstuck when I considered doing something out of the ordinary - that is, when I considered taking on being a stand-up comedian for the first time in my life.
And what joy it was!
Where in your life can you consider doing something out of the ordinary in order to get unstuck?
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you,
Shira

A relationship?
A job?
A belief?
Tune in to this week's podcast episode to hear how I got stuck on grief this week when I wanted to say "goodbye" to all of my old blogs and I got unstuck when I considered, "everything has its time and place" - and how you can, too!
Here is the podcast episode I referred to in the podcast: https://shiragura.com/podcast/episode-021/
You can find my blogs here: https://shiragura.com/posts
Have you ever heard of the old Yiddish proverb, "Man plans, God laughs?"
That's just how our lives look like sometimes, right?
I usually record my podcast episodes every Monday (so that they are ready to be broadcasted on Tuesdays), but this past Monday we were celebrating a holiday.
So, I planned to record this week's episode on Monday night, but I totally forgot my 8-year old had arranged his annual sleepover at our house with 10 of his friends.
So, I planned to record the episode after I got the boys to sleep (which was a feat in and of itself).
But, then I received a message from the boys' baseball coach that he was planning a make-up baseball session in the morning - and I thought to myself - while the boys are in their baseball class, I'll record my session in the peace and quiet of my home, rather than staying awake late at night to record it.
But then, I received another message from the coach in the morning that he was up all night sick and was cancelling the baseball class.
And where did that leave me?
With 10 wild boys and a podcast episode not ready to be broadcasted.
Man plans, God laughs.
Enjoy listening.
I know I enjoyed creating it for you.
When was the last time you watched The Wizard of Oz?
I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid.
And when I did watch it, I certainly wasn't viewing it from the perspective of Getting unSTUCK.
And so I decided to get the movie and do just that.
If you like learning deeper understandings behind classic movies, you have to tune into this episode.
I had such a fun time disentangling it and noticing what each of the main characters represent in the world of The unSTUCK Method.
I'd love to hear your responses to it!
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you,
Shira
P.S. Here is the link I reference in the movie (my Facebook page that I invite you to "like" as a birthday gift to me.) Thank you!
A friend of mine was visiting Israel and we arranged to meet up in Tel Aviv.
I decided I would take the train down to see him rather than drive, as I'm not a big fan of driving.
Yet, I missed the train station when I found myself totally entrenched singing a song I had just composed the day before.
And I got stuck (on many, many emotions - all against myself for having missed the sign to get off the road, and of course, missing my train).
Tune in to hear how I got myself unSTUCK by considering sitting in God's house (and while you're listening, please enjoy the song that I share with you).
Where in your life can you consider sitting in God's house?
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you.
I'm celebrating my birthday this month (October), and in honor of my birthday I am offering a flash sale inside my store:
The book, Getting unSTUCK: Five Simple Steps for Emotional Well-Being ($10, instead of $15)
The Consideration Cards: Supporting Your Practice for Getting unSTUCK ($10, instead of $20)
The sale will continue either through the end of October or until the products in inventory are depleted.
If you already have a copy of the book and the cards, considering gifting either or both to a friend. The holidays are approaching! Now's a great time as ever to purchase your gifts now.
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you!
Shira
Do you ever blame others for the way you feel?
While I always aim to take responsibility for my own emotions, I sometimes slip - and that's exactly what happened this past summer when my mom and I didn't see eye to eye on something.
Tune in to hear the story about how I got so stuck on confusion, frustration, and disappointment with something my mother did.
And how I got unstuck (and later apologized for it) when I consider taking responsibility for my part in that story.
* I want to acknowledge my dear mom for giving me permission to share this story on the Getting unSTUCK podcast. It's not always easy to share your stories with the world, but she agreed with me that this story could potentially help heal others' relationships and so she allowed me to share it with you.
Thank you for tuning in and as always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you.
Shira
A friend of mine who was supposed to visit me this summer didn't show up when at the time we had arranged.
And I got stuck on worry while he was stuck in a horrific thunderstorm storm while biking his way to me.
Lightening. Thunder. Falling trees. Traffic lights out. Car accidents.
I got myself unstuck when I considered there's no use in worrying - and that worrying wouldn't help the situation at all.
Where in your life may you be stuck on worry and where may you be able to get unstuck from it by considering worrying won't make the situation any better?
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you,
Shira
I'm excited to share with you that I started writing my next book.
While my first book is about how to get unstuck, this next book is about how to avoid getting stuck in the first place.
It's also based on a method (and an acronym).
I've already started using this method in my life and all I can say is, it's awesome and I can't wait to share it with you when it's complete!
In the meantime, tune into this week's podcast episode to learn how you can become a part of the creation of this next book! I would love for you to join me!
Exciting stuff!
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you!
Shira
Have you ever had the experience of rejecting something someone says to you, perhaps because you simply didn't want to hear it?
Have you ever had the experience of having a second person try to deliver the same message?
What about a third time by someone else?
Tune in to this week's podcast episode and hear how I was able to get unSTUCK when I was finally able to receive the message I needed to hear - on the 3rd time.
And consider where in your life you also may need to hear things a few times before it finally sinks in.
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you,
Shira
P.S. Thank you to iTunes for recognizing this podcast once again as a "best-seller" in the mental health category. It's so nice to be acknowledged.
I was sitting at gate H15 in the Chicago airport, awaiting my flight to Turks and Caicos.
The only problem was, I was the only one at the gate.
But, I sat there convinced I was at the right gate because that's what the computer had told me the night before.
About 15 minutes before the flight was to take off, a couple comes to the same gate and sits beside me.
Should I ask if I'm at the right gate?
Will I look stupid?
Tune in to hear how I got unstuck (and did not miss my plane, despite the fact that I was sitting at the wrong gate) by considering there are no stupid questions.
And see how you may be able to consider the same thing in your life.
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you,
Shira

I went away last weekend to Turks and Caicos, a remote island in the Caribbean Sea.
It was a retreat for entrepreneurs, but it wasn't quite a business retreat.
It was more like an unconference or an unretreat.
Tune in not only to hear more about that event and what took place, but about one of the greatest unstuck moments in the history of me doing this work.
It's pretty big, my friends, as I was stuck on this thing for 3 full years!
I'd love to know your thoughts once you tune in.

I recently composed a song that I sing each night to my son before he goes to sleep.
I wanted to be able to sing it to him while on my visit to the States, but I didn't bring my guitar with me.
So, I borrowed a guitar from a friend.
Soon after picking up the guitar, I noticed a problem with one of the strings – I wasn’t sure if I damaged the guitar when I tried to tune it or if the guitar was given to me damaged.
Tune in to hear how I got unstuck by considering doing the right thing.

Over the past 5 years, when I have come in for a family visit, three family members have passed away.
I was able to attend each of the funerals and periods of mourning not because I flew in from outside the country, but because I happened to have been visiting at the time of their deaths.
At the most recent funeral, just a few days ago, I heard people making comments about the connection between my arrival and the family members' deaths.
In fact, one person even claimed that I was bringing death with me.
And as absurd as that may sound, I started believing it myself, until I got myself unstuck by considering the opposite of what others were saying to me.
And it worked.
Often, when we hear things enough times, we tend to start believing them.
And we can therefore get stuck in beliefs that aren't even close to the truth.
Where in your life can you get unstuck by considering the opposite of what you hear?
This is one of the skills I teach in the Getting Unstuck Coach certification program.
It's called the "flip" and it's an incredibly valuable skill to acquire if you are interested to help others get unstuck.
If you are interested to become a Getting Unstuck coach, please sign your name up for the waiting list so I can let you know as soon as the doors to the next training open.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you,

Getting unstuck is not about knowledge.
I mean, it is and it isn't.
The S.T.U.C.K. Method offers you a knowledge-based tool to help you go from "stuck" to "unstuck," but having a tool just isn't enough.
The change we want to create in our lives requires implementation of the tool and then, of course, practice.
And the more you practice, the more efficient (and the quicker you can become) at getting unstuck.
Tune in to this week's story to hear how my son got himself unstuck pretty quickly, even though he was convinced he couldn't learn how to swim.
Because of all the getting unstuck practice he gets at home, my son realized all he needed to do was take himself through The STUCK Method to get himself unstuck!
I am grateful to have been able to teach my children (and so many other people around the world) how to get unstuck in their lives.

Have you ever felt like you were looping inside a story?
As if the story were being played over and over and over again in your mind, but there was no end in sight?
This happened to me recently when I started thinking about whether to stop coloring my hair or not.
Yes, I know... this is not a really big important "stuck" spot.
But, that's ok.
Our stuck spots can range from everyday stumbles to big, complex issues.
And this week, my story for you is one of the everyday stumbles kind of story, but it's meaningful nonetheless, and so I decided to share it with you.
Tune in to hear how I considered making a decision to end the endless overthinking I was doing.

Do you ever feel like you need to give someone advice?
Do you ever feel like you must share your opinion?
Do you ever feel like if you don't say what's on your mind you're doing the wrong thing?
Tune in to this week's story where I share with you how I got stuck on desire to share some things with my kids' baseball coach, and how I got unstuck when I considered what my true purpose was.
Where in your life can you consider taking a stop before sharing your opinion? Where can you consider your true purpose in voicing your thoughts?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this (and every) episode!
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

Who in this world would you say triggers you the most?
Maybe your spouse?
A child?
A parent?
An in-law?
A friend?
What if I were to tell you that the person who triggers you most may be the greatest teacher you will ever have in your life?
I know, it's a hard consideration to swallow.
But, I firmly believe it's true.
Tune in to this week's episode where I respond to a listener's questions via another recent stuck story. I'm confident this episode is going to resonate with you. I would love to know what you think.

When I find myself in a stuck spot, I believe in that moment that I'm 100% right.
I'm confident there's no other way of looking at the situation.
I'm certain there's no two ways about it.
I was inspired by the Getting Unstuck podcast listener, Leona, who shared her getting unstuck story this week and exemplified the importance of being honest with oneself when uncovering thoughts to your story.
Tune in to Leona's story and and see how considering being honest with her thoughts led her to getting unstuck with a neighbor.
Where can you consider being honest with yourself today?
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you!

When presented with a stimulus, the natural human tendency is to respond automatically.
The problem is, more often than out, our automatic reactions aren't the most beneficial ways to respond to things - and then we end up reacting in ways we only later regret.
In this week's podcast, I share with you a story from my book, Getting Unstuck, illustrating the value of considering to wait before responding to a difficult situation.
Where in your life could you benefit from waiting before responding?
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

This week I have a treat for you.
In this special episode, I interview someone near and dear to my heart, Netta Cohen, my life coach.
With 40+ years in the coaching world, Netta recently completed the STUCK coaching training program. In this interview we spoke both about the training and about her focus as a life coach and transformational facilitator.
Netta is a retired mental health program director who now uses powerful, intuitive processes to coach clients into clarity of mind, body, and purpose.
And lucky me, she lives right down the street from me in northern Israel.

"Throw me a pitch," my husband said.
He didn't like my response when I said, "No."
He didn't understand why throwing him a pitch was problematic and I didn't understand how he had the audacity to intrude in the middle of a game I was running for the children in my community.
He was stuck.
I was stuck.
And then we both got stuck on one another.
Not a pretty picture.
Tune in to today's episode to hear how I considered, "there's another way" not only to get myself unstuck, but to save the situation.
All I can say is "Thank God for The STUCK Method!" (Seriously!)

Listening to this podcast is one thing. But, taking action is another thing entirely.
You can get inspired, but then do nothing about it, right? And that is not going to bring any changes to your life.
By default, if you don’t live a deliberate life, you’re going to live the same life you’re leading now.
That is, if you want to lose weight or you want to improve a relationship or you want to finish a project – it’s not going to happen just by thinking about it.
It takes a plan and it takes putting that plan into action. This is what we do on The Journey. We figure out what is blocking you by understanding how our minds work and we commit to creating the lives we actually want to live.
Spots are limited and doors won't open again until 2020.

This week, I am delighted to share with you 3 stories that came from listeners of the Getting Unstuck podcast.
What I love about these stories is that each one is different from the next, and yet I bet you'll be able to see yourself in each of them.
One story relates to getting stuck with the person sharing the story.
One story relates to getting unstuck with elderly parents.
And the last story relates to getting unstuck with visitors.
Each story is powerful and inspiring.
I hope you choose to tune in.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you,

"Do you know the name of the political party you are voting for?" my husband asked me.
It was a simple question.
But, I forgot.
I mean, I knew at one point the name of the party I was planning to vote.
But, in that moment, it slipped my mind.
There are 15 different political parties in the running to be a part of the new coalition government in Israel.
And I was planning to vote for one of the newer, minor parties.
But, I forgot the name.
And I got hurt by my husband's question (thinking he was just being derogatory - making fun of me that I'm not as adept in politics as he).
My behavior towards him wasn't ideal, let's just say.
Tune in to hear the story and how, looking back, I considered choosing a more beneficial response.
And see where in your life, you may want to consider doing the same.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

Take a moment to recall a recent stuck spot you were in with:
- a spouse
- a child
- a friend
- an in-law
- a co-worker
- a neighbor
- or someone else
When you look back, see if you recall having considered "the other."
In other words, did you consider their perspective, their opinion, their suffering, their pain, their side of the story?
So often when we get stuck, we only think about our side (which is how we get and stay stuck in the first place.)
Considering the other perspective can help us broaden our understanding of the story, get clarity, and see what other possibilities may exist.
Tune in to this week's podcast to hear how I considered "the other's side" (my daughter, in this case) as a way to get unstuck and "save" the situation.
And see how you may be able to learn to do the same in your life.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

Desire is the 2nd top emotion (next to fear) that we experience most when we get stuck (in my opinion).
What do people usually do with desire (as we do with our other emotions)?
We either resist feeling it or we act on it.
More often than not, we act on it.
Just like an urge.
Desire to scream at someone.
Desire to talk about someone in a bad way.
Desire for an apology.
Desire for someone to behave a certain way.
Desire for acknowledgment.
Desire for perfection.
The list goes on and on.
Where does stuck on desire appear in your life?
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and see how you can create a fabricated environment of desire on which to practice allowing desire to run through you.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

One of the most common emotions humans feel is fear.
Fear we will say the wrong thing and insult someone.
Fear of hurting someone if you try to get too close.
Fear of being misunderstood.
Fear of losing someone.
Fear of getting hurt.
Fear of never being loved again.
Fear of public speaking.
Fear of not fulfilling your life's purpose.
What is your biggest daily fear?
Tune in to this week's podcast to hear about my "stuck on fear" story. It's probably not you'll expect, but it was as real to me as real can be, and so, as always, I share it with you.
Can you consider allowing fear to run through you?
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you,
Shira

I was feeling "off" for a couple of months and couldn't quite get unstuck from it.
Until I met with my coach, who suggested I consider "grounding myself."
She hit the nail on the head.
I didn't realize the implications of taking some time away from my regular morning yoga practice.
It apparently hit me hard, but once I brought that back into my life, I got myself back on track pretty quickly.
Do you have a meditation practice?
Can you consider, "meditation is your medication"?
- I am not a medical doctor and am not advocating or opposing medication. I am simply sharing what has worked for me in my life.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

.
Sometimes people grow apart.
And that can certainly be difficult.
You may get stuck on sadness, uncertainty, and disappointment.
And still, you can consider loving that person no matter what.
Tune in to hear more about a "growing apart" story that I recently went through.
And if you are in a similar boat, perhaps you may consider "loving them as they are" to get yourself unstuck, too.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

"Who would like to get together to celebrate the February birthdays?" I wrote in a Whatsapp message to my husband's family.
I've taken upon myself the job to organize the family to get together on a regular basis for holidays and birthdays.
I sent out that specific message having in mind my son who was turning 7 at the time and honoring his wish to celebrate with the family.
I really didn't expect anything other than, "Yes, let us know when and we'll be there!"
So you can imagine how stunned I was when, instead of responding with a "yes," one of my brothers-in-law sent out another invite to celebrate his son's birthday (without "allowing" the other February birthdays to celebrate with him, including my 7-year-old son.)
What would you have done?
(I received permission from my brother-in-law to share this story.)
Tune in to hear how I got myself unstuck and see if my process may inspire you to get unstuck in your life.

How would you react if you were running late to get to the hospital to take your son for surgery and you get pulled over by the cops for speeding?
Well, you don't get pulled, the person driving the car gets pulled over.
And that person is your husband.
How would you react?
If this incident would have happened 5 years ago, I would have reacted in an entirely different way than I actually did.
Rather than scream, yell, and blame, I responded with control.
I got myself unstuck when I considered respect for who my husband is and for who my husband is not.
This week, I challenge you to consider bringing to mind one person in your life you may be having difficulty with: and see if you can respect them for who they are and for who they are not.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you,
Shira

A listener of The Getting Unstuck Podcast shares a story with us this week.
The lesson I gleaned from her (very funny!!) story is that we can all consider we don't need to know everything.
"Stuck on desire" is a place we all find ourselves stuck on at one point or another.
And yet, arriving to the answer of what we "needed" doesn't always bring us ever-lasting happiness. In fact, if anything, it can reinforce our "stuck on desire" for other things, which can then, in turn, keep us from ever experiencing a true sense of inner peace and freedom.
Laugh with me as we listen to Nurit's "Stuck on a Quesadilla" story.

Do you ever commit to something and then something ruins it?
Tune into this week's episode where I share about how committing to creating stillness in the morning didn't happen exactly the way I wanted.
Get ready to laugh.
I got myself unstuck by considering how lucky I am, even though the situation wasn't perfect.
Take a moment and look at your life: Where in your life can you consider how lucky you are, despite the fact that it may not be going exactly the way you would want?

On this week's podcast, a listener (Ronitte from Canada) shares her process of getting unstuck by considering "it's time to let go."
Have you ever gotten stuck on a physical object before?
Maybe a piece of clothing that no longer fits?
A piece of jewelry that got lost?
A sentimental something that broke?
Nothing lasts forever and yet we hold onto things as if by doing so, it's the only way for us to have happiness in our lives.
Can you consider, perhaps, it's time to let go - and see what may be?
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

Do you ever feel like you are being bombarded by stuck spots?
It could happen over a short period of time (like a day) or a long period of time (like an entire year).
Either way, have you ever felt that no matter where you turn, a stuck spot is arising within you?
This happened to me while participating on a recent retreat.
In this week's episode, I share with you a slew of stuck spots, ranging from funny to serious, and how I got unstuck from each one of them.
The purpose of this episode is to inspire you to recognize how you too, can consider, "you can do it" even when you feel like you keep hitting obstacles.
You have the power to get unstuck.
With The STUCK Method, you have the tool to get you unstuck.
You are capable!
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

I had the distinct honor of attending a retreat recently.
The teachings of this retreat were so powerful that it nearly led me down a path to abdicating my own religion.
I got stuck on excitement and joy because this teacher saw "the light", but I got myself unstuck when I considered my own roots.

Getting unstuck is like a decluttering of the mind.
All the thoughts, emotions, stories, dramas, and memories are taking up space in your space in your head.
Space that could otherwise be used for productivity, creativity, or even love.
Last week, I was interviewed on the "Journey to Organization" podcast with personal organizer, Rebekah Saltzman.
You will hear that conversation on today's episode.
Enjoy.

Have you ever gotten upset with someone about an opinion they voiced?
Have you ever gotten upset with someone who succeeded in persuading someone else?
That happened to me just a couple of days ago.
I got really upset with someone - and funny enough, I am not even sure who that "someone" was.
All I know is the repercussions it had on my friend who was the recipient of the "opinion."
But, I got myself unstuck when I considered that "someone" had every right to voice her opinion.
And that my friend (the recipient of that opinion) had every right to allow (or not allow) himself to be affected by it.
Tune in to hear more and see how you may be able to glean some lessons from this week's story and bring them into your own life.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

We are not God.
Although, often times we act as if we are.
It's not on purpose - it's just the way our minds naturally work.
We judge as if we know how the world should be.
And how people in our lives should be acting (or not acting).
I got stuck the other day judging my husband.
Although, he never found out because I got myself unstuck before I found myself blurting comments that I would otherwise later regret.
I'm sure you'll be able to find yourself in this week's story.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

While driving a car a couple of months ago, a kid accidentally ran into me.
Which led me to a state of shock, terror, and disbelief.
Nights following the incident, I couldn't sleep because my mind kept racing between flashbacks and nightmares of "What ifs?"
Getting unstuck was not easy.
I reached out to one of my coaches for considerations.
Tune in to hear how I considered "It's in the past" to get myself unstuck.
And how you can consider "It's in the past" to get yourself unstuck in your life, too.

I wrote a really pleasant text message.
At least I thought I did.
Her response?
"No. We're good. We don't need to join the carpool. Our kid just finds a ride home each time by himself."
Huh?
Was this parent serious?
Her kid finds a ride home each time? Does she not realize WHO is taking her child home??
Tune in to this week's to hear how I got myself unstuck from complete disappointment and frustration by considering it's none of my business.

"I think you should paint your office Sunset Rouge," my friend suggested.
And I listened to him.
And within a day, my entire office turned PINK!
And, yes, as you can imagine, I got stuck!
It was my friend who helped me realize I could consider "change is possible."
And with an open mind, I made the necessary changes to make my office become the office I could embrace with love.

I received an email that the place I have been offering retreats for the past year will be closing as of December, 2018.
WHAT?!?!?!
Where does that leave me?
Where should I lead my future retreats?
I don't have time to start looking for a new venue!
Tune in to this week's episode to see how I considered "it's a possibility", rather than staying stuck in frustration, disappointment, and anxiety.
And, see where in your life you may be able to consider, "it's a possibility", too!

Three people showed up to my holiday party.
3!
Were they thinking I was a loser?
Did they show up because they felt bad, knowing no one else was planning to come?
Would they come to another one of my parties?
Probably not.
The thoughts looping through my head were preventing me from enjoying the moment at hand.
Tune in to hear how I considered, "So What?" in order to get unstuck and be able to enjoy the party with those people who did come.
And how can, too.

No matter how many times I want to try something new, I first get stuck in fear.
For example, when I was:
- writing a book for the first time,
- starting to coach others for the first time,
- creating a podcast for the first time,
- facilitating retreats for the first time,
- creating "Consideration Cards" for the first time,
- or creating my first on-line coaching group.
I notice a pattern.
First, I get stuck and hide behind fear.
Then, I get myself unstuck so that I can go on living my life in the most authentic way possible.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear about those struggles where fear kept me back - and what I did to be able to move forward.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you!

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book that I share on the podcast:
"The only way to inner freedom is through the one who watches: the Self."
"Stress only happens when you resist life's events. if you're neither pushing life away, nor pulling it toward you, then you are not creating any resistance."
"You just have to realize that life is giving you a gift, and that gift is the flow of events that takes place between your birth and your death."

My 16-year-old daughter received her first summons to the army.
It sent me into a place of shock.
And fear.
And concern.
And aversion.
And so many other emotions.
By getting myself unstuck from this emotionally challenging situation, I was able to come to the other side with new perspectives that helped me feel better in that moment.
When I was stuck in shock, I was predicting the future.
I got myself unstuck by considering that I cannot predict the future.
Tune in to hear how you may also want to consider doing the same, if you are stuck in a situation of concern or fear about something happening in your life.

Sometimes we get attached to our habits and patterns to the extent that we never challenge ourselves to become a better version of who we already are.
But, when we don't stretch ourselves to our potential, we limit ourselves in so many ways.
Tune in to this week's episode to consider how you can "rebrand" yourself, whether that means moving on from a difficult past or creating a new you for the future.
This is what I did.
And I know you can, too.
As always, I look forward to getting unstuck with you.

45 years old. Father of 4. From the United States.

I haven't been able to focus on my work or get anything productive done.

When we are right, we are right.
And there are no two ways of looking at it.

Do you have a habit, like me, of doing everything yourself?
Sometimes we can easily get caught up believing that we need to do everything ourselves when actually delegating tasks out will make us much more calm and sane.
Letting go of the need to do everything yourself will not only help you get unstuck, it will probably also help you become more productive in the long-run.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how I considered asking for help to get myself unstuck from overwhelm, and how you can, too.

Sometimes we get stuck on sadness because we don't special moments to end.
Sometimes we get stuck on desire when we want things to last forever.
Yet, the fact of the matter is, we don't have control over how long things last in our lives.
What we do have control over is whether or not we hold on to their memories.
Tune in to this week's episode and consider how you, too, can consider holding onto memories in order to get yourself unstuck from sadness and desire for wanting things to last forever.

We all have that little voice in our heads that says:
"You can't."
"You aren't good enough."
"Someone else can do that, but not you."
But, what if there was someone else out there in the world who believes in you?
How would/could their belief in you change things?
Tune in to consider how I got myself unstuck because of someone's else belief in me, and how you too, can get unstuck because of someone else's belief in you.

Sometimes, when reality doesn't meet our expectations, we can get stuck on believing that putting ourselves out there in the world in a vulnerable way is just not worth it.

We all have a natural tendency to blame others for things that go wrong in our lives.
It is easier to blame others, than it is to take personal responsibility for our lives and our happiness.
When we blame others, we remove any sense of responsibility for getting ourselves unstuck.
But, blaming won't ultimately get you unstuck.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how you can consider waiting before you start blaming.
And learn how waiting may actually help save your stuck story from turning into a disaster.

It was only when I took a stop and processed through it, did I realize how I was blinding myself to new possibilities.

When someone with whom you are speaking attacks you with accusations that seem at the most exaggerated and at the least untrue, consider using the tool of reflection.
Repeat back to them the words you heard them say and ask them to confirm that those words are true.
Chances are, they may admit that the words that came out of their mouth, weren't exactly what they meant.
Reflection offers an opportunity for clarity.

What is your worst fear?
Public speaking? Heights? Death? Something else?
Our natural inclination, when we feel fear, is to resist feeling it.
Sometimes, we try to tell our brains to overcome the fear by thinking of something else or taking deep breaths.
But, those methods don't always work.
Have you ever considered just feeling fear? Just allowing yourself to feel it?
Tune in to this week's episode and learn how simple and empowering it may be to just allow yourself to feel the fear you feel.

Either way, neither of those approaches will lead you to getting unstuck.
Tune in to today's episode to learn what you can do with difficult emotions that can lead you towards getting unstuck.

"Hey, Mom! I'm planning to go away next week with some friends..."
That's how the conversation started.
My mind was running wild wanting to scream, shout, and holler, "NO WAY, Jose!!!"
But, I didn't.

Tune in to hear the story and learn how you can consider the same thing.
And by doing so, preventing any unfortunate fallout.
It's not easy, but it's worth the ride.

My son ran to me hysterically crying for help.
He told me what happened.
But before I reacted, I caught myself stuck on his side of the story.
And before I emotionally reacted towards the other child involved, I considered maybe I didn't know the entire story.
And you know what?
I didn't.
I am grateful I went through The S.T.U.C.K. Method and considered curiosity before I would have acted in a way I would have otherwise later regretted.
Tune in today and see where you may be able to consider curiosity in a stuck spot you may be in.

"There was an incident at school today."
The last thing any parent wants to hear.
I started to feel my heart pounding outside of my body.
And all I wanted to do was protect my son from being scarred for life from this situation.
I was stuck on worry.
But, I got myself unSTUCK by considering, as difficult as it was to consider, that maybe this situation may strengthen my son. I considered that maybe adversity may build character.
Do you have someone in your life going through a rough patch? Can you, too, consider (maybe?) that adversity may build character - instead of staying stuck in worry, like I did?

"But mom, it's not fair!" said my son.
And you know what, he was right!
It wasn't fair.
And I got stuck on trying to protect him so that he wouldn't have to feel the pain of living through something "not fair" at the young age of 7.
Sometimes we get stuck on trying to protect our children so they don't have to feel pain.
But, the question is, why shouldn't they feel pain once in a while? Cannot some gentle suffering actual be a good life lesson for them? Can children not, too, learn something from their stuck spots?
Tune in to this week's episode and learn how I considered my son's painful experience may have been a great life lesson for him.
And learn how you, too, can consider the same for your loved ones.

Freedom: It's what getting unSTUCK is all about.
Do you know that when you get into "stuck" spots, your brain will have the best intentions of protecting you, but may, at the same time, unconsciously work against your best interests?
It happens to all of us, and it happens all the time.
And this is the crux of the practice.
How to access your personal freedom so that you are no longer a slave to your mind and so that you no longer have to get hijacked by your emotions.
It takes practice, but it's possible!
Tune in to this week's episodes and learn more about how and where you can start to access personal freedom in your life today!

Simply because you want someone in your life to do something, doesn't mean he/she will or even needs to.
It is not your job in this world to create a rule book for others to live by.
And you cannot depend on others for your own happiness.
It will only set you up for disappointment.
That being said, when you are in the right mindset and no longer stuck, having a conversation that comes from the place of peace, rather than from a place of war, may prove fruitful.
In today's story, I share with you how I considered making a request the morning after I was blamed for something I really did not do.
Tune in and consider how YOU can consider making a request as well.

It is so easy to get stuck on insult.
When people say things in a way that can be construed as hurtful, our minds can't see any other way of being, except to take things personally.
Yet, getting stuck on insult won't ever help you feel better.
And getting stuck won't make you feel in control.
Remember, you are always in charge of what you choose to believe!
And it is those thoughts that will affect how you feel.
You can always choose to be in complete control.
It is a choice.
Tune in to hear how I didn't get stuck on insult and how you can do the same.

Have you ever had the experience where something happened to you and you are convinced it should NOT have happened?
Do you have the feeling of wanting to turn back the clock?
Change the past?
In this episode we explore considering "there are no mistakes."
When we can accept that whatever has already happened is out of our control, we can then leave the past in the past, and go on living in this moment, and handle any situation that may come our way.

All my husband wanted to do was zone out for a few minutes and watch some T.V.
All I wanted to do was get my son to sleep.
There the conflict began.
Because what did my son want to do?
Watch T.V. with his dad.
And my husband was oblivious to the fact that I was trying to get my son to sleep.
And my heart closed on my husband.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear how I considered opening my heart and how you, too, can consider opening yours in order to get unSTUCK.
The book I referenced in this week's episode is: "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer

We either get stuck in the past or stuck in the future.
There are really only two choices.
When we get stuck in the past, we get stuck on a story that already happened.
Whether it was a second ago, 5 minutes ago, yesterday, last month, or last year.
Whatever happened, already happened.
And there's nothing we can do to change that.
So, we really have two choices:
- Stay stuck in our story about whatever happened, or
- Manage our reaction to it.
And the way to emotional health and well-being is to do the latter.
Tune in to this week's podcast episode to hear how I considered, "Oh, Well," after realizing the circumstance was in the past and out of my control.
Can you consider "Oh, Well" the next time you get stuck?
I'd love to hear from you if you do!
As always, I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you!

Sometimes we put ourselves down, not because of any outside force, but because:
- Either we believe it ourselves, or
- We believe someone else may be thinking it.
Either way, that belief of defining yourself negatively is not serving you, nor is it serving anyone else around you.
I got stuck recently on feeling stupid.
But, I got unSTUCK when I honestly investigated that belief.
I'm not stupid.
Did I make a mistake? Yes.
But, I'm not stupid.
Where in your life can you consider either:
- You are not the negative trait you say you are, or
- You don't have to be impacted with what you believe others may be thinking about you.
My friend, YOU have a story to inspire the world, do you realize that?

There is a difference between taking action and keeping busy.
When you take action, you work towards a goal.
When you keep busy, you may not necessarily be direction-oriented.
Even if you create or produce things, it doesn't necessarily mean you are taking action towards a goal.
I got stuck on inaction in 2017.

I hired myself a coach last week.
It was the best decision in 2017.
I feel aligned, happy, excited and ready to take on 2018.
I got stuck on not wanting to hire a coach and this not only held me back professionally, it held me back personally.
Don't make the same mistake as I.
Consider hiring yourself a coach.
Happy 2018!

One way to get unSTUCK and evolve into a newer version of yourself is by visioning.
Different from goal setting, this is a practice of actually seeing yourself AS your new self.
This takes courage, bravery, and vulnerability.
It stretches your mind and opens it up to anything in the realm of possibility.
Join me with visioning YOU for 2018.
If you'd like, email me with what you come up with (I will respond!) or comment below here on this page.
Thank you for joining me in 2017~
I look forward to getting unSTUCK with you in 2018!
The CD!

And consider where in your life can you consider faith? And how, by considering that, may you be able to get unSTUCK?

When we are in a "stuck" spot, we can self-sabotage the joy that can otherwise be experienced in any given moment.
Whether we are stuck on anger, anxiety, fear, frustration, disappointment, desire, depression or any other emotion, if we take a stop, we can touch the joy that always exists and that is always behind the story.
Tune in to this week's episode to hear my stuck story and how I chose joy. And hear how you can consider choosing joy, too.

Revisiting the time I landed in the hospital and nearly died was not easy for me to share in this podcast episode.
But, I did so to encourage you to talk to God - whether you are religious or not, whether you even believe in God or not. It's something to consider. It's something I never considered until that time when I was cold and alone in that hospital room, and someone suggested it to me.
In this episode, I continue to share with you my crowdfunding efforts. I share with you 2 rough clips from the "Morning" track.
Please, help me make this CD come into the world. I need all the support I can get. For $10., you will receive the digital download as a gift for yourself or for someone you love. Click here to go to my campaign.

Have you ever heard of "imposter syndrome"?
It's a phrase coined by 2 clinical psychologists in the late 1970's describing people who have an inability to internalize their accomplishments and have a fear of being exposed as a fraud. People who get this syndrome believe they don't deserve the success they have achieved. Apparently this syndrome affects both men and women equally.
I got stuck on imposter syndrome minutes before I was supposed to lead my very first Getting unSTUCK retreat.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn how I got unSTUCK from feelings of unworthiness and ended up leading the retreat of a lifetime.
In this episode I encourage you to consider where in your life you can consider being good enough.

Some of us live with the world on our shoulders: believing that everything that happens in life is entirely caused by us.
My son had a freak bike accident, and I got stuck on guilt that it was my fault.
Irrational, but true.

Tune in to this week's episode broadcasted from a hospital in Israel, with my first guest, my 9-year-old son.

If you're like most people, mornings may be difficult for you.
It's so easy to hit the snooze button, isn't it?
But, what are you gaining from doing so? And what may you be giving up by not embracing your mornings?
Tune in to hear how, as uncomfortable as it is sometimes, I have considered embracing my mornings - which means waking up while the rest of the house is asleep, so that I can start my day on the right foot and be ready to welcome my family with patience, calm, love, and happiness.
What would it take for you to embrace your morning? I'd love to hear from you if you do.
Oh, also. I mention on this podcast that I had a birthday last week!

When others behave in ways that bother us, it is so easy to get stuck in the way they act in the world.
Truly, the easy way to live is to get frustrated, angry, disappointed or full of resentment.
Yet, we don't have to.
We have the power to choose another way.
And that other way could be considering that we can "be the change we want to see in the world", wise words from Mahatma Gandhi.
Where in your life can you considering being the change you want to see in the world?
Tune in to today's episode to learn how I took on this consideration while sitting in a parking lot while a random driver was screaming at me.

Often times, when we get stuck, we get the feeling like it's the end of the world.

Tune in today to see how you can consider, "It's not the end of the world" in your life.
