The Story of the Unstuck Process

One weekday afternoon sometime in 2003, I sat in my home office, as stuck as I’d ever been. All productive work had ground to a halt several days before, and I was feeling down, frustrated, overwhelmed, stuck. I could barely get through the routine tasks of the day, such as checking email. And instead of working, I avoided almost everything.

A number of important tasks and projects that had seen no progress for over a week languished on my to-do list. And every time I looked at the list, I felt more hopeless than the moment before.

Then I remembered something.

During the past year I had been working with Byron Katie's process designed to get one past limiting and stressful beliefs. I had used it a number of times with some success, even with clients, but this time was different: I was as intractably stuck as I’d ever been. So I decided to give it a try.

I pulled out the worksheet to go through the steps of this written process. It included several questions that I answered by writing them down.

In about half an hour I had answered all the questions in the process.

Once I was done, I sat there wordless for several minutes. In that short span, something had shifted. The doom and gloom that had hung over me for the past few weeks lifted like the fog on a sunny day.

I looked out at the world through different eyes, with different thoughts, with different feelings. And then I turned my attention to my to-do list. My hopeless feelings were replaced by hopeful ones.

Items that had seemed impossible to accomplish seemed ridiculously easy. And by the end of the day, I had completed everything I had been putting off for so long.

If I’d only gotten that one result from doing this process I’d, have been more than satisfied. But that was only the beginning.

For the next several months, I experienced an explosion of productivity and creativity unlike anything I’d experienced before. My business took off as I created new programs and services, and my income increased and then doubled over two years. I initiated several large projects and succeeded at all of them with very little struggle.

These results got my attention, to put it mildly. And whenever I felt down or stuck and started to avoid things, I’d simply apply the process again with similar results.

Over the past several years I’ve also done a lot of tinkering with the process. I wanted to make it easier and even more effective. I tested it on my clients with similar results. I led workshops and created programs that integrated this process.

Ultimately I called it The Unstuck Process.

If you are stuck, avoid doing things you want to be doing, have had little success with motivational approaches and just want to get unstuck, then this book will give you what you need.

All you need to do is answer the 12 questions in the process as honestly as possible regarding any issue where you're stuck, and your stuckness will lessen or even disappear. Try it!
