What to do
Is being stuck in your head-space an issue for you? It is for me and it is one of the most difficult states to break out of.
What to do when I’m really stuck? This question is one that I continue to struggle with at various times. For it is a feeling of being in my own way, stuck in my head, stuck in negative thought, self-hating conversations. So what can really move this? And right now in this moment that is exactly what is happening. I am noticing the shift in my body, first, of the tension that I have been aware of as part of the stuck negative place I have been in for the past 48 hours. All I am doing is writing, by hand – pen on paper.
So this is what this week’s Blog is about. Being stuck, how I have come to write about how I have nothing to write in a Blog, recognising why I might be stuck and just letting it all drift out onto the page, allowing my intuitive self to just have the floor, have the space to say what all this is about.
Being stuck in a negative head space can be really challenging to deal with. But by just taking one thing that you might enjoy doing, without too much thought, and following the journey, noticing the changes that take place and accepting the movement.
For my own journey through this very Stuck place is about becoming aware of my mental and emotional movement away from the negativity to a far more loving place, I become more free of this hard mean place. I then notice that I am thinking about other activities that my intuitive self offers up, such as:
- walking – out in the fresh air, seeing things that shift my thoughts, feeling my body move
- listening to a podcast by someone who inspires me
- doing something with my collection of art supplies as inspiration appears
- meditating – the one thing that lets my mind just be still
If being stuck in your own head space is a challenge for you – don’t try to reason with what might help, see if your intuition can come to the rescue. Ask yourself a simple question such as “what do I need right now?” and wait for your intuitive self to respond. It may hint at an activity and then maybe you could just follow that thought, that activity, not questioning anything, just following your intuitive self and observe the tiny changes that start to happen.
