What’s keeping you stuck?

I mostly talk about Flow and Source and being in the present moment, but I would be remiss if I didn’t also share how important (re)connecting to your desire is. Because sometimes that’s the only remedy to whatever it is that’s keeping you stuck.

We have the incredible power to create our realities and often either underestimate it or go about it in an unhelpful way.

Here are some things that might get in the way of opening up to what you want and/or making it happen:

• Fear – the conscious kind, but even more difficult to deal with, the fear you are not aware of 
• Lack of action. You cannot meditate your way to your next goal, you have to take action towards it. And sometimes, but not always, the more action you take = a higher likelihood of success
• Spiritual bypassing, which means retreating into spirituality as a way of avoiding your own issues. This happens unintentionally, and it’s why I wrote about it here
• Believing there is something wrong with you and you have to fix yourself before you can make progress. Sometimes this belief is what’s keeping you stuck
• Misunderstanding how human beings experience reality, and therefore getting more and more caught up in your thinking instead of being in life
• Trying to do everything on your own – community matters ♥
• Over relying on others – to tell you what to do, or to make you feel OK, or to support you, etc.
• Trying to control outcomes, so you don’t fail, you take only the right steps, you achieve goals according to a timeline you made up, etc. It can be an addiction!
• Feeding your mind mostly content that is depressing, cynical, points only to what is not working in the world, paints a gloomy picture of the future, etc. 
• Engaging in mostly negative conversations, whether with others or in your own head 
• Innocently dismissing every idea you have because it’s “unrealistic” – without even realizing you are telling yourself that!
• Comparing yourself – when you are new to something – to experts who have been doing it for years, expecting the same results in a few weeks or even months
• Mistaking wants for needs and needs for wants
• Not taking responsibility for your own happiness, wellbeing, and results
• Taking too much responsibility for your happiness, wellbeing, and results

I could go on… But you get the picture of what’s keeping you stuck.

🌱 Here’s a little homework for you: pick any one to three of the bullet points above and shift your being and doing. Journal about it, try something different, brainstorm ideas, get in action, relax and have fun. 

In other words, take one step – or many! – to (re)connect with your desires and/or to create the life you want. 
Now.
