“What to do when stuck? Sometimes when I get stuck, I notice I get entrenched. I marry to a thought or a position or point of view. I might get angry, scared or sad. Perhaps, all three. I shut out others and their input. I don’t listen and I think I am right. I resist. I fight.
Sometimes, later, I realize. I realize I put a point of view above a relationship. I fought for a thought, I thought was right, instead of listening. I took a side. My side. It hurt then and it hurt discovering this. However, in noticing my stuck actions I learned something.
I learned I still have to stop and pause to free myself of the momentum that comes from reacting. I need recognize I could possibly respond differently, when I stop. If I stop, I can create a gap where I can breathe and become aware. I am able to do this.
Energy Flows Where Your Attention Goes
Then, instead of perpetuating the problem I can choose to respond differently. I can get free. I can shift from maintaining the resistance and stop resisting what is going on. I can stop fighting and listen. I can listen to the other person and I can listen to my inner wisdom.
I can’t hear truth when I am agitated. I hear the problem not the solution. When I stop and pause and breathe, I create that gap, that window of opportunity, I become aware that why I am stuck is because I am fearing a change. I am preventing. I’m not allowing.
When I am preventing, all my energy goes into it and fuels it. When I take a break from my problems it’s as if a breeze comes in and cools it down. It puts out the flames. I get distance from the heat, the issue, and my commitment to being right and my resistance to change.
What You Focus On Expands
It usually means an apology to someone is in order. I too, apologize to myself. I understand I did the best I could at the time. This doesn’t mean I should do it again, but that I should learn from it and not be hard on myself for being who I am. It means learning to accept me.
It means listening to the others. It means listening to me. It means adjusting and continuing without creating further drama for anyone, including myself. It means breathing and discovering my resources. It means reconnecting with myself and with the other.
When I allow these changes, I become more open again. It isn’t always easy to leave a comfort zone. Things change. That’s what they do. My desire is to discover how to enjoy the journey as they do. After all, all we have is the journey. I’d like to journey better.
Stop – Breathe- Shift – Allow – Invite – Welcome And Accept
The journey is the destination. It is all we have. It is the present. I want to learn how to journey and enjoy it ALL along the way. As I become more aware that I don’t have to fight so much, I enjoy the journey so much more. Don’t you? That’s why I say learn to celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
