What's Stopping Us from Progressing and How to Fix It

The way that we react to different stimuli affects how strong our emotions are.

Carnegie, Dale

We've all experienced what it's like to be buried alive in muck.

You're suffering confinement, helplessness, and confusion.

You're thinking about moving. You really ought to. Actually, you have to. You can't, however.

Anxiety, panic, and total exhaustion might then set in.

But what if, just what if, the issue isn't that we perceive it to be stuck but rather something entirely different?

Being Cornered: The Dirty Reality

There are times during the year when I feel, how should I put it, "stuck."

But when I actually consider it, the feeling of "being stuck" is only a name I give to a very normal aspect of life.

It's a quiet period with few events. When I convince myself that something isn't the way it ought to be, I begin to worry. I have to push myself to get started, to think of ideas, and to act in order to complete tasks.

I refer to this immobility as "being stuck."

Therefore, my imagination is the only thing preventing me from leaving.

As I sit here and type this, I've been feeling stuck for a while. I no longer battle it as much since I'm learning to accept it for what it is.

We Get Stale Because

When you strive to be someone you're not, you get into trouble. when you believe something should be different than it really is.

When I begin to come up with justifications for why I "should," "have to," or "must" do something against my will, I realize I'm attempting to trick myself into doing it.

Things begin to make sense when I let go of my worries and savor this moment's peace. I now understand that there is nothing I can do to alter the course of my life. I can only concentrate on the issues that life really brings to my attention.

Advice on How to Get Stuck in This Trick

It's as though you're in quicksand. By attempting to escape, you'll just do yourself more harm.

My mentality is always one of dominating, tricking, and controlling those around me. All of the current problems stem from insecurity. I want financial stability, acceptability in society, and individuality.

I believe everything would be OK if I could only have a little control over my surroundings.

When I confront reality, I feel like I can breathe deeply again. The three things I do are as follows:

1. Don't Keep Trying

When there is no way out, accept your situation as it is.

I am aware of my own internal dialogue and sentiments of being trapped and having a problem.

I can prevent slipping into a rut by focusing entirely on the now. There is just the label of a scenario, which I created based on my expectations for the direction of my life.

I exhale in relief as I consider the whole context of the circumstances.

This does not imply that the sensations themselves will disappear, however. Although I still experience anxiety sometimes, it no longer governs my life.

I realize how concepts relate to one another. I am easily swayed by any situation.

I'm also becoming better at accepting reality for what it is, even if that's still something I need to work on. I'm becoming more tolerant of being alone.

Ironically, since the position we're in was all mental to begin with, it vanishes as soon as we recognize how much we're enjoying it.

2. Be Relaxed and Enjoy Yourself

There is usually one item that sticks out as the most desirable choice in circumstances like these. You don't need to accept the way things are in every aspect of your life.

I'm currently reading some great books. My kid and I are now having fun. I've been killing time by watching television series and movies (the British Sherlock episode is amazing).

I write essays like this one from time to time to express my sentiments.

What must be done has been completed. However, after that, I allowed myself to have pleasure in life.

I may easily feel bad right now because I think I'm not working hard enough. But I've come to understand that I'm thriving in this unstable setting.

This is just another illustration of how I become mired in the narrative I tell myself.

I'm simply forced to be who I am. I'm currently helping out where I can. It'll have to do for now.

It advises relaxation in the meantime. The tide will turn in a very short time.

Nobody will give you an exemption. Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't succeed; just do your best.

3. Write

When I'm at a loss for what to do, I turn to writing.

I currently don't have a framework or a plan in place. I take out a piece of paper and begin to type. Despite the fact that it takes longer and is slower, I really prefer writing by hand. Compared to computer typing, I feel that it lessens my ability to focus.

I put everything down in writing when I have a lot on my mind. No censorship is accepted. Don't ever go back now.

There are even less appealing elements.

I am beginning to see certain tendencies as I continue to train. It's now obvious to me that any attempt on my behalf to alter the current situation would be fruitless.

The less emotionally invested I am in clinging onto this, the more self-aware I am.

Once you get to the level of your mind where the pain is occurring, you may begin to let go of it by realizing that you are the one who is to blame.

What I Regret the Most

When we seek to change the course of events, we bring misery upon ourselves. That holds true for every facet of a person's life.

My efforts to change the world around me only serve to consume me.

I used to resist it, but now I understand that it's trying to tell me to relax and let go. I've come to terms with the fact that I can only influence what I can with the tools at my disposal and that I cannot alter anything else.

No physical force is necessary. Life itself persists through me because I am life. So that is as well.

I am not unique to anything or anybody in the world. I am our shared planet, the earth. I am the moon and the stars. I am you, to put it simply.

Sometimes I wonder why we think we are alone in this world. We are protected and cared for while still in the womb before being brought into the world.

If they need assistance, the forest's trees can provide it. We are confident, however, that we are an exception. Are we? That is not what I believe is taking place.

Simply stated, we think that things generally aren't the way they ought to be. Your viewpoint is faulty, though, since reality doesn't match your expectations.

It is as It Stands

There's no need to continue feeling stuck, whether you've been in that state for a week or a year.

You maximize your use of the resources you have.

However, I have discovered that the longer I am unable to escape and the more I give in, the more I learn from the experience.

In hindsight, I can say that my toughest experiences were the ones that taught me the most about who I am.

My motivation is no longer only the pursuit of achievement. Sometimes it's better to relax and let events develop as they naturally will.

These intervals resemble the shifting of the seasons. There is sunshine outside. Right now, snow is falling. There are both good and bad things in the world.

When you give up and accept things for what they are, you change your perspective, which in turn changes your surroundings.

But be careful not to add to your already heavy load. Being kind to oneself is essential. Allow yourself to come to an absolute stop.

You should feel free to resist it, because you will.

The result is pleasing.
