When I feel stuck in my life, it is important to take stock of what is going on and find out if there is something I are doing or not doing that is keeping me stuck. Sometimes the situation is out of my control, and I need to look inward and find the patience required to wait with equanimity until things move forward again. Many times, though, I can find the source of my stagnation in my own heart and mind.
Sometimes clinging to old ideas about reality has me stuck and I need to make adjustments that will bring me back in tune with life, so I can move forward again. Sometimes fear of change is what keeps me stuck, and I must resolve to find ways of facing that fear.
If introspection does not provide the answers I need, it can sometimes be helpful to ask those around me if they notice anything obvious that I might not be able to see. I ask someone I can trust to be kind and sensitive as well as honest. I let go of my resistance because whenever there is something I can’t see myself, it’s because I don’t want to see it. I try to listen with an open mind, and remember that I am always the final judge of what I need and do. Anything offered to me from an outside source will need to be processed within before its wisdom can take hold.
In all this, I try to be kind to myself and remember that I get stuck sometimes. I think of it as a necessary step on my journey, rather than as a problem that shouldn’t be happening. This can help to keep my frustration at bay and give me the space I need to take a deep breath and really figure out what’s going on.
