Stuckness . . .

Do you ever find yourself stuck? You have so many things that you want or need to do that you become completely overwhelemd and end up doing nothing?I'm not talking about Procrastination, it's worse than that because you aren't even doing something else instead ofwhat you should be doing; you're just a statue, deer in the headlights, actionless. That is where I find myself at the moment. My website is not complete, my tax return isn't done, my home that I moved into in March still has lots of work to be done and I am studying 3 courses at the moment!! I find myself thinking that I am a failure, not capable of reaching the place I REALLY want to be and wondering if I have actually changed at all? Until the slow realisation that I have changed, I have been here before and now I know how to get out of that STUCKNESS, even if it takes a little time.I have soooooo many tools that I can use, but every now and then, my self-sabotage is so strong that it takes me a while to remember that I have them and apply them.I think the trick is stopping and taking the time to feel however you need to feel and then saying "okay, that's enough, move along now!". Take today for example.  I couldn't go to work, I was so overwhelmed, feeling incredible sadness, stuck in a quagmire of dark thoughts and feeling lots of despair.    But I have slowly started working my way out of it.  I had a LONG hot shower, a coconut latte while patting my cat, I got dressed, unpacked the dishwasher and have now logged onto the website where I am studying to be a Health Coach with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and after that I will do some journalling.  I have just started an online course with Kirsty Spraggon and, although I've dabble in writing down how I feel and what I would like to do.  If the right questions are asked, the process is much more cathartic and profound.  I LOVE Unfiltered Journalling - more on that later. So it is now, even after writing this blog, that I feel the darkness lifting and lightness filtering back into my soul. Life really is an amazing adventure, the ups and downs are part of it.  My intention is to learn from the 'downs' so I can spend more time in the 'ups'. Have a beautiful day. xxxxxx
