Living Wildly Awake

By Stuart K. Kimball

Often in life, people get stuck.
Stuck means that over time someone developed deep seated beliefs and formed habits which are blocking them from having a full experience of being alive.
Living Wildly Awake is both a book and a process with a unique combination of solutions designed to transform whatever has someone stuck into new pathways of possibilities for their lives and to live wildly awake to their possibilities.

Getting UnStuck is the key to an inspired and flourishing life because until you are unstuck you can't possibly see and realize your full potential to bring transformational new results into your life.
This will help a wide range of people.
It is for people who have phobias that restrain them.
It is for people who are facing a significant change in their lives.
It creates clarity and a sense of direction for people who don't know what they want in life.
It is both comments and questions for the readers to answer to create their own unique solutions and find their pathway into the future.
The book suggests various ways in which being stuck potentially manifests itself and takes root in someone's thinking.. Then it provides a process for getting unstuck.
Readers will discover that getting stuck can actually be a good thing. It directs attention to a part of their life that can become a tremendous source of energy and new direction in their lives.

Introduction

I have some questions for you.

During the last conscious days and moments of your life, what do you hope to see as you look back on your own existence, especially those years that are just ahead of you right now?

Will you be having happy thoughts of consequential years, perhaps the best years of your life? Will your mind be overflowing with warm memories of you loving your life and all that you have done?

Will you have a sense of satisfaction that the ‘seeds’ you planted in life are flourishing?

Will you be certain that, in your own way, you did your very best to leave the world better off than you found it?

Will you be at peace with yourself, knowing that you lived your final years wildly awake in the life you chose?

What is the legacy you are leaving behind?

Or

Are you realizing that rather than fully experiencing the joys of life, do you instead feel as though you have fallen into a dreary existence in which you seem stuck; sleepwalking on automatic pilot through life, trapped with very few choices?

Do you frequently feel distressed about a long list of very personal and still unfinished business?

Has a devastating event occurred which changed your life forever? Did the way you reacted to it cause even greater damage?

Do you feel like you fell behind early in life and never quite caught up?

Did you have great success earlier in your life and have been living in the shadows of that success ever since? Are you concerned that your best years are way behind you and that you haven’t found a compelling vision for the future?

Do you wish that life had worked out very differently for you?

Are you someone who always seemed to have great potential but was never sure what that potential was, and ended up with very mixed and frustrating results in life?

Perhaps

It could be that life has gone thankfully very well for you and now you are looking ahead at the next phase of your life. Possibly your daily life hasn’t changed dramatically for many years and you have begun to worry that maybe you have complacently drifted into a very nice rut, but it’s still a routine that you may eventually outgrow or be completely dulled by? Maybe you’d like to try something new to keep your life inspired and flourishing in a very different way, but don’t know where to begin?

Maybe you have been very successful in a career you never particularly intended to be in and now you feel completely burned out. You would like to change jobs but  believe you are stuck due to your pay level and the recognition of your success in that field. How can you move on?

Is it possible that you have everything you thought you ever wanted-and feel empty?

Could it be that you are becoming confused as to what your role in life is as you begin to transition from one stage to the next?

What is the difference a book like this one could be for you? What are you hoping to find in these pages and to accomplish by reading this?

What was your immediate reaction when you saw the title ‘Living Wildly Awake’?

What were your thoughts when you read the sub-title ‘Getting UnStuck is the Key to an Inspired and Flourishing Life’?

Do you worry that time is running out for you and that there may be no way with the time that you do have that you can get your life to be where you want it to be? And you don’t know what to do about it?

Is it difficult for you to imagine right now that something really significant could become a part of your life again? Something which gets you up in the morning, excited about the day ahead?

Can you remember the last time you felt truly alive, firing on all cylinders? Is that something you really want and need to experience again?

Are you on the verge of giving up and spending your final years essentially just biding your time, secretly glad it’s going to be all over soon?

Would you still do almost anything to have the best possible outcome for your life?

.........

Most of us can probably easily agree on the reality that the road of life is intended to have plenty of potholes and speed bumps along with unexpected twists and turns. But once in a while, some of us might be blindsided; T-boned by something we were totally unprepared for and plunged into an abyss that potentially could permanently disrupt what was once a comfortable life, sending it in an unfamiliar direction.

There are all kinds of reasons why someone’s path through life can get way off track.

In my experience, it’s often because something caused them to develop certain deep seated limiting beliefs and habits. They found themself stuck in a mindset that severely limited their possibilities. It could be blocking them from even realizing that there is an alternative that is in their power to create.

For many people, being stuck means that there has been a shift somewhere in your habitual way of thinking that is blocking you from having as full of an experience of life as is possible for you. An indefinable force somehow evolved within your mindset which is preventing you from doing certain things you either really want or need to do. It’s not an emotion you can easily identify like feeling sad or ecstatically happy. You may have come to believe that no matter how hard you try to do whatever it is, it’s just not going to happen. Even worse, every time you do seriously try to do it and fail, the resulting feelings become more and more painful. The frustration you feel deepens and begins to negatively impact other parts of your life. Possibilities begin to increasingly be accepted as impossibilities.

Stuck can rapidly evolve from a wide range of experiences.

Maybe something traumatic occurred which turned someone’s life upside down such as an accident, a severe illness or an unwanted divorce.  It could be because a phobia developed, maybe someone’s self-image was shattered by a series of unfortunate events; the list of possibilities is endless.

Often, it is because at some point in someone’s life, deep-seated limiting beliefs became established in their
