Feeling Stuck? These 7 Daily Habits Will Get You Moving Again

Let’s be honest—feeling stuck can be exhausting.

You wake up feeling unmotivated, go through the motions, and end the day wondering what you actually accomplished. It’s frustrating, and even worse, it feels like no matter how hard you try, nothing really changes.

But what if I told you that you don’t need a huge breakthrough to get unstuck?

Sometimes, all it takes is one small habit. Done daily. With intention.

That’s exactly why I created 31 Daily Practices to Transform Your Life: Your Secret Hack to Getting Better Every Day. It’s a practical, no-pressure guide that helps you build powerful habits—one day at a time—to help you reset, refocus, and finally move forward.

If you’re ready to shake off that stuck feeling, here are 7 habits (from the 31-day journey) that can help you get started:

1. Start with Gratitude

When you’re stuck in a cycle of stress or burnout, one of the fastest ways to shift your mindset is through gratitude. This isn’t just about being positive—it’s about training your brain to see what’s already working. Take five quiet minutes each morning to list three things you’re grateful for. They don’t have to be big—your morning coffee, a supportive text, or just waking up healthy. The more you practice this, the more your mind begins to focus on possibility instead of problems. It’s a simple yet powerful habit that grounds you, lifts your mood, and creates momentum for the rest of your day.

2. Set One Clear Goal

When everything feels overwhelming, the solution isn’t to do more—it’s to do less, with focus. Setting one clear goal each morning gives your mind direction and purpose. Instead of juggling multiple to-do lists and scattered priorities, choose just one meaningful task that moves you forward. Write it down. Say it out loud. Let it guide your decisions throughout the day. You’ll be amazed at how a single point of clarity can silence the chaos and help you feel productive again. This technique, featured in 31 Daily Practices to Transform Your Life, is just one of many that help you simplify your day and build confidence through daily wins. Progress doesn’t require perfection—it just needs intention. And this one habit can be the anchor that pulls you out of overwhelm and into flow.

3. Move Your Body

Sometimes, the best way to get unstuck isn’t mental—it’s physical. Moving your body, even for just 10 minutes, can work wonders on your energy and mood. You don’t need a gym session. Stretch. Walk. Dance to your favorite song. Just get your blood flowing. Physical movement triggers the release of feel-good hormones and clears mental fog. It also helps shift your emotional state, making it easier to tackle challenges with a fresh perspective. When your body is in motion, your mind often follows. So if you’re feeling stuck, stressed, or sluggish, move first. Think later.

4. Speak Kindly to Yourself

Your inner voice shapes your reality. If you constantly criticize yourself, no amount of external success will make you feel good. But when you practice speaking kindly to yourself—especially during tough moments—you build resilience, not resentment. Instead of saying, “I’m not good enough,” shift to, “I’m doing my best, and that’s enough today.” This one mindset tweak can increase your confidence, reduce stress, and help you stay motivated even when things go wrong. In 31 Daily Practices to Transform Your Life, this practice is a game-changer. It teaches you how to become your own biggest cheerleader instead of your harshest critic. The world can be tough—your self-talk shouldn’t be. Reframe your words, and you rewire your life.

5. Plan Tomorrow, Today

A chaotic morning usually starts the night before. When you take just 10 minutes each evening to plan the next day, you eliminate morning anxiety and boost your sense of control. Think about your top 1–3 priorities, time-block your schedule, and prepare anything you’ll need ahead of time. This habit, highlighted in 31 Daily Practices to Transform Your Life, helps you wake up with clarity instead of confusion. It’s a small shift that makes a big difference in your productivity and peace of mind. Planning ahead turns your mornings into momentum—not madness. And when you begin the day on purpose, you’re far more likely to end it with satisfaction. Don’t underestimate the power of preparation—it’s one of the easiest ways to reclaim your time and focus.

6. Take a Nature Break

When your brain feels foggy or your energy dips, step outside. Nature has a calming, grounding effect that can’t be replicated by screens or coffee breaks. Even just 5–10 minutes outside—whether it’s walking in a park, standing in sunlight, or noticing the trees—can reduce stress and boost creativity. It’s not just about fresh air; it’s about perspective. Nature helps you zoom out and reconnect with the present moment. No fancy tools required—just step away and breathe. Sometimes the most powerful reset isn’t doing more. It’s doing less and being still.

7. Celebrate Small Wins

We often wait for big milestones to celebrate—then wonder why we feel so unfulfilled. Truth is, progress happens in small steps. And when you take time to acknowledge them, you fuel motivation. Finished a task you’ve been avoiding? Got through a stressful meeting calmly? Showed up for yourself today? That’s a win. Celebrating small victories reminds your brain that you’re making progress. It builds confidence and momentum. In 31 Daily Practices to Transform Your Life, you’ll find daily prompts that help you recognize and reflect on these wins—so you stay energized and encouraged along the way. Don’t wait for “someday” to feel proud. Celebrate today.
