Feeling stuck and how to move on.

I woke up a few days ago, feeling stuck and misery. I knew I needed to change something in my way of living and thinking.

To feel stuck, means you need to move forward, to feel bad or depressed, means you need to change the way you live, in order to feel more fulfilled. It can be difficult to recognize those signs when you are used to feeling bad most of the time, and you think that this is how life is and should be. But if you have experienced periods of time with a lot of joy, fulfillment, and happiness, you will immediately see when something is not as it is supposed to be. We are here to live our dreams, to seek and find our purpose in life, to enjoy the journey. But in order to see that, we often need to go through suffering to realize what we are here for. Suffering is one of the greatest gifts we can get in life. Even if it sounds paradoxical, it is the greatest tool for self-realization. We are here on this earth, in this body, to develop as souls, to learn and to find our self. What we experience is a reflection of our inner mind, believes and thoughts. The way we see the world is the way we think of it. How I see the world is different than how you see it because we carry different thoughts and believes.

When those feelings took over me, I understood from experience, that I needed to work on my thoughts and the way I live. The thought I had in my mind was, I am stuck, I am not coming forward and I don't get the support I need. As I cried, I thought, why not try to express gratefulness instead of focusing on the lack of progress and boundedness. So I started to think of everything I was grateful for, and I have continued with that since then, I hold back for a moment before I eat, to focus on how grateful I am for being able to eat the food that nourishes my body. When I go to sleep, I meditate a few minutes on the beauty of life and for being able to do what I love and spend time with my little boy and partner. The same in the morning. I have decided to live that life I always imagined me living when I have everything. Instead of waiting, I do that now.

Often, I set up too many things on my to-do lists, and expect myself to manage all of them, at the same time as being present as a mother and taking care of the household. I know I am going to reach my goals, but sometimes I need to take a step back and just do nothing. I need to turn some of my attention inward, taking time for rest and finding stillness.

We only keep our self away from fulfillment, and this is something I start to understand now.

Every decision we make today will impact our tomorrow. And what you wish, will become true. In one way or another. We decide for our self where we want to stand, what we want to do, and if we will reach the stars or live in the underground. Only you can limit yourself.

A few changes I could do immediately was:

  • cleaning out stuff we don't use.
  • enjoy more time outside in nature.
  • starting the day with a green smoothie: my favorite combination is with kale or spinach, celery, mint, mango, apple, a piece of lemon, avocado and oat milk.
  • express gratefulness
  • meditate several times a day (1-2 minutes) and show my little boy what it means to meditate.
  • asking for support, not expecting it.
  • clarify where I want to go, and why. That is such a great motivation for me!

I would love to get some tips and feedback from you guys, how to progress when you feel stuck, and how to create a greater boundedness in your life. I would love to start a conversation with you about the power of our thoughts and taking the power of our lives, in our own hands.
