For your consideration…..
Does it ever feel like you are just spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere? In our head we “know” this is not possible. We can never stay in one place. Time marches on and waits for no one. But we “feel” like we are not moving forward.
Today we are being told that the feeling of spinning our wheels is an illusion set up to get our attention. There is something right in front of our face that we are missing. We need to see it so we feel we can move forward.
So if we feel we are spinning our wheels, we are missing something. Just as we would get out of a stuck vehicle, we need to step our of our current position to gain new perspective. With fresh eyes we need to walk around where we feel we are stuck and identify what we have tied ourselves to that no longer serves us.
In reality we are always growing no matter what. But if we do not feel that we are, we are right to do a little self assessment and make course corrections. That is not a sign of being stuck in failure. It is a sign that we are in control. Pat yourself on the back. That is the HOPE.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take……
-Meditate….if you feel stuck, meditation is a good way to figure out why.
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths. I HOPE your weather is better than mine today. Mine is downright scary. Even Dude doesn’t want to be out.
-Remember what you are grateful for.
-Celebrate everything you accomplished this week. Find a way to treat yourself.
What made me smile yesterday….
-Third graders and 3 birthday parties to fit into the school day. No problem. But I do feel bad for the janitor.
-Kim made and outstanding dinner for AJ, Peanut and I.
-OK, so I thought AJ would love the phone….he does….the part where he can create videos. Note to self. Buy him a video camera.
-An early, well deserved bedtime.
-Nick has had a good healing week. Yesterday he was visited by President Obama.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Chris
