No matter how motivated or focused you are, there will be days when you just feel… stuck.
The assignment feels too hard. The concepts won’t click. The career change feels too far away.
I’ve had those days. A lot of us have. And I want to say something loud and clear:
Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re learning.
Growth isn’t a straight line. It’s filled with moments of confusion, frustration, and self-doubt. The key is not to avoid these moments—but to learn how to move through them without giving up.
Here’s What I Do When I Feel Stuck:
- 🧘 Step away intentionally – A short break or walk can reset your brain.
- ✍️ Journal or brain dump – Sometimes the problem isn’t the work, it’s the pressure you’re putting on yourself.
- 📌 Go back to basics – Rewatch a video, review a flashcard set, or break the task into micro-steps.
- 🧠 Remind myself why I started – My goals are bigger than this one stuck moment.
And here’s something else I’ve learned: asking for help isn’t a weakness—it’s a strategy. Whether it’s a classmate, a mentor, or even a community online, support can turn a stuck moment into a breakthrough.
Feeling stuck means you’re pushing beyond what you already know. It’s a sign that growth is happening. And even if you need to pause… just promise yourself you won’t quit.
“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
— Winston Churchill
