At least once in our lives everyone will undoubtedly feel stuck. For me, as an author, I experience writer's block which can lead me to choose to reroll our toilet paper rather than facing the harsh reality that I don't know what to write next.

This feeling quickly grows if we think we have no control over the next steps leaving us helpless to influence the outcome.

This indecisiveness quickly growing into a debilitating condition I call Stuckitis if we don't take action. Early symptoms of Stuckitis include avoidance and procrastination but it can quickly escalate into real health issues such as anxiety, stress and depression. Stuckitis is rarely caused by our everyday decisions such as choosing between Thai or pizza for dinner, but rather those decisions where the consequences of getting it wrong could be huge. These life-changing decisions could include deciding which career options should you chase, whether should you stay in the wrong relationship or anything that means we will need to reinvent ourselves.
