Alright, so many of you are having issues getting your Ethereum transactions confirmed. Bitcoin users go here.
Step One
Make sure your transaction is not confirmed by checking here: https://www.myetherwallet.com/#check-tx-status

We can see the pending transaction here:

Step Two
If you don't already use MEW, import your private key into MEW. Official website: https://www.myetherwallet.com
Make sure you are on the send Ether & Tokens Tab

Step Three
Once logged in, view recommended Gwei and Gas limits here: https://ethgasstation.info/
We see the recommended price here:

Now go back to MEW and change the gas price to the recommended amount

Step Four
Copy and paste your own wallet address (found on the right side. It's hard to miss)
Paste your address into the appropriate field and set the amount of Ether to send to 0. *Please note you will still be paying Ether gas prices.

Click Generate Transation then click Send Transaction. You will be prompted one last time before sending the transaction. Click yes.

Click verify transaction. A new tab will open it. It will say the transaction hash is not found. Wait 30 seconds then refresh. You may have to wait a little longer if you chose a more median gas price.

You can now see we have a confirmed transaction that was sent to ourselves! This clears the previous pending transaction that you had initiated.
Step Five
Go ahead and send a new transaction with the higher Gwei amount.
I hope this helps. :) Anyone asking for a techincal explanation, go ahead and if there is interest I will create a new informational thread.
