Why Do We Feel Stuck?

Many people today struggle with burnout, low motivation, and overwhelming tasks at work. When we feel tired or unmotivated, we’re often told to "push through it" or "stay positive." But the truth is, ignoring emotions doesn't solve the problem—it makes it worse.

The VITALS Method offers a more human and sustainable approach.

Developed as a mindset tool to support motivation and emotional balance, this model helps individuals regain energy and progress, one small step at a time.

Widely used in coaching and organizational development, it supports workplace motivation, resilience, and task completion while improving employee well-being. It also serves as a useful assessment tool for both managers and individuals to track progress and emotional balance.

The Core Concept of VITALS

The VITALS method is made up of six simple but powerful steps.

V – Validate Yourself

Before solving anything, give yourself permission to feel what you’re feeling.

Saying “I’m exhausted” or “I feel stuck” is not weakness—it’s honest awareness. Accepting emotions is the first step toward change.

Managers and teams should create space for open conversations where people can share without judgment.
