Feeling stuck and powerless is a choice you can make. It doesn't mean you are powerless, but that you don't know how to use your power. Instead, you may be unsure about how you can use your power, and you don't like the options you have. Instead of feeling hopeless, choose to feel empowered by taking action.
Often, people who feel stuck and powerless do not want to seek counseling or talk to friends. This is because they feel that something has to change for them to feel better. But this is a mistaken belief. Getting unstuck is a process that involves identifying your desires and deciding which ones are worth pursuing.
Oftentimes, people who feel stuck and powerless simply need a perceptual upgrade. Although you may be powerless, your perception is clouded by insecurity-driven feelings. This is the reason why you need to make a conscious decision to shift your perception of your situation.
