I've found a really useful technique to get unstuck is to stop doing anything, switch to something else, and come back to whatever it was I was stuck on later after I've made progress with that other thing.
Like you mentioned in this article, our education system has focused so much on establishing limiting beliefs that often times the only thing stopping us from moving forward is our own belief that we can't.
We've been conditioned to believe that if we fail, we're incapable, and that belief creates that self-perpetuating spiral of continued failure.
But if I fail at something, perhaps repeatedly, switching to something else that I know I can gain forward momentum on programs my mind to keep going and not give up.
This is why personal hobbies and recreation are so important, because maybe I'll be stuck on a problem at work and can't figure out what to do, so I play a video game I can win at or take on a small project in my workshop or spend some quality time with my wife and children.
That gives me a new perspective on everything, instead of tainted with thoughts of failure, gilded with the belief I am succeeding.
Coming back to the problem I was stuck on with that renewed perspective almost always helps me think of a solution that eluded me prior.
There's a saying: "How you do one thing is how you do everything."
Hence if you're stuck on one thing, you can get stuck on everything.
Conversely, if you make progress with one thing, you can make progress with everything.
Thanks for the knowledge there AutismDad. I'm always learning so its great to see other ways that I haven't considered! The world is a grind and getting harder every year as we slip into Weak Men Create Hard times period. It is important to stay sane, feel happy and if we can - fulfilled.
Thank you - much appreciated.

Liked. Wishing you success!
