I have been feeling stuck for a while now. Maybe you are too? Longing for inspiration, relief, and faith that all things are moving in the right direction… So I googled this: how to know if you are going in the wrong direction… Some things came up…
I feel like 7 of these right now. And I have read enough self-help books to know that if you don’t listen to your body, you are fucked. To which I googled: how to get unstuck?
But the problem still exists. I am still stuck. Well, somewhere in the middle of being stuck and not knowing what direction to turn - feeling like I value everything and nothing at the same time. Everything seems like there might not be enough time to get to it.
I think I am just going to wait it out. And go for a walk. Would you be interested in just waiting with me and doing something creative together?
I’ve been stuck since I returned from maternity leave. It’s felt endless - although writing here is helping to provide some focus. My friend sent me (that now viral) poem - ‘let July be July & August be August. And let yourself just be, even in uncertainty’. Katherine May’s ‘Wintering’ also helped reframe this sensation, too. Sometimes being stuck isn’t a problem to be solved - it’s an opportunity to wait.
Love this to the moon and back. Thank you. And yes yes yes on the stuckness.
My mantra now - this will not last b/c nothing does. Just keep going. Which sometimes looks like staying in bed for awhile or letting the housework wait. And just wintering for a day when needed.
