Everyone has those days when you could use a little help. Perhaps it's not looking forward to your next presentation, or you don't know where to start with your latest business idea.

Maybe it's not feeling motivated enough to start that project you've been thinking about for months or find that perfect client. The bottom line is: sometimes we need the right push in life and the right person to give us that nudge.

So, what can you do to make that giant leap forward? Try these strategies:

1. Take one step back to move forward.

Often, the first thing to do when you need to move forward but feel stuck is to step back. Stop. Avoid trying to force something to happen.

● Then, you can see what needs to be done and break it down into smaller steps. The more you do, the quicker you'll start to feel better and be in a position to take the next step.

2. Monitor your state of mind.

When life gives you lemons, it can be hard to see the positive. It's so easy to see the negative situation and feel overwhelmed. Try to stick your head in the sand for a while.

● Try to block out circumstances you can't change and focus on the things you can change. Before long, you'll have a much more positive outlook and will end up making more progress than you ever imagined possible.

3. Identify the details of what's going on.

Sometimes we don't realize how many pieces are involved. It's easy to think you're facing one problem when it's a combination of things.

● Be honest with yourself. Which aspects can you change, and what elements can you influence? Also, which parts could you let go?

4. Let the past go.

Just because you had a terrible experience in the past with no chance of a positive outcome doesn't mean the past has to define you.

● Embrace the mistake or pain as a chance to learn and grow. Who knows, the negative experience could be the catalyst for future success.

5. Consider your options.

Look beyond your current circumstances and examine all the choices and possibilities. Don't get caught up in your present feeling and give up your power. You always have a choice about your next move.

● When you look at all the options at your disposal, you feel hopeful, motivated, and empowered.

6. Devise a plan and stick to it.

At this point, you have all the information you need. You've worked to change your mindset, taken a step back, let the past go, and considered your options. Now, it's time to take action.

● Set some goals and realize your dreams. Get out of your way, follow your heart, and seize the moment.

7. Remind yourself of your "why."

There's no time like the present. Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way and most importantly, always remember your core values.

● Remember why you started this journey and what you ultimately want. This attitude will help you stay strong and focused.

8. Start small.

Building momentum is crucial to your success. Take small steps each day and gradually build momentum toward your goals.

9. Discard what no longer works, even if it worked in the past.

Use past experiences as a guide, but don't be afraid to try something new if it works better.

● Sometimes, people fail because they're scared to let go of the systems that brought them to their current stage. Don't let that happen to you!

10. Always be grateful.

Your attitude has a significant impact on your life. Gratitude is the best attitude to have because it takes you away from what you don't want and focuses you on what you do want.

● An example of gratitude is feeling thankful to your parents for all they've done for you. Another is feeling thankful for your health and not being afraid to go to the doctor when you have a health issue.

Motivation is not always constant, but you can find your way back to it. All you have to do is relax, take it easy, and consider what you're trying to accomplish.

Even when things seem impossible, there's always a chance for you if you have the patience, determination, and enlightenment to persevere.
