It's so easy to drift... the line between drifting and waiting/ trusting is a bit vague. It also depends on where you are hoping to get to! I feel I've been drifting but with a fair dash of trusting. Now though I've been stirred up again and to stay in the same place would be staying becalmed, not just calm, and I'd be in the doldrums not just drifting. It's a relief to feel that surge of energy and inspiration.
So what is my question? Yes, how to get unstuck! It does not matter how long you have been stuck for, it might be a few hourss...days, weeks, months... or it might be many, many years.
As is so often the case, the first step is Awareness. You realize your life is dull, or going round in circles. You want something different but what you have is comfortable enough.... until it isn't. Something strikes you about that comfort, it seems to be a shrinking space and you feel the walls closing in.
Perhaps, in that stuckness, you have been in a womb... or part of you has, growing stronger and readier for a new adventure, just taking in and feeling quite safe and comfortable. Now, there is a squeezed feeling. Your life is too small for you, too samey, not enough challenge. You are reluctant to talk with others about what you are doing because the answer is...not much.
But that is OK because you were waiting to be ready. Adding little bits of necessary information. Making small decisions about what you want in life. Giving yourself time to shift from one perspective to another. Perhaps you knew a lot of the theory but putting even a small amount of that theory into practice already requires a shift to a different gear.
You have, perhaps, been focussed on accepting yourself, letting go of old stuff, adjusting to a big change in your life circumstances, a loss or a move or whatever, something that really does take a bit of time. You may have been seeking spiritual clarity.
And suddenly... an aha! moment that shows you a new vista. Perhaps you have been here before, excited about a new possibility, feeling that expansive energy, but you have not acted on your ideas and now you see how you have kept yourself in a holding pattern. Along with the new energy, comes perhaps an impulse to beat yourself up for not acting before now, and an old chorus of self criticism, you can't do this, you're too old, it's too late, you haven't the right personality, you don't have enough money, who do you think you are to ....do.... whatever it is you desire to do.
Now is time to really be practising staying in receiving mode. Yes, you need to act, but not to be rushing around frantically. Listen to your inner Guide. What is the very next thing to do, today? How will you know? Well, let your mind be quiet. Say to your Inner Being... I'm ready, I'm willing. I want to be directed. I hand the details to You. I will stay focussed on being aware of my inner connection to Source and see what nudges come. You can depend on the Law of Attraction to work in the direction of your focus... I will go for a walk, rest and take care of myself... and I will make the phone calls, write the emails, just whatever comes to me, from that centred space. I trust the vision I have received, even if the details are unclear. I know that I am here to enjoy my life and to add to the joy in the world, I don't need to worry about the how. The how is not my business....and the outcome of the actions I take is also not my business. Thank You. I am going to have a wonderful day today!
