Stuck

 

There are days I do not write, but I do not see it as writer’s block.  Instead, I think of it as waiting on clarity.  There are plenty of ideas that pop up without any clarity.  I used to get frustrated when things were not clear, but I now see it as just not being the subject to write about at this time.

We all get stuck sometimes: stuck in a dead-end job, stuck in a less than good relationship, stuck in routines at home, or stuck on where we are in life as opposed to where we thought we would be at a certain point.  Feeling stuck can be quite the challenge at times.  It is one of those feelings that continues to fester until we do something about it.  By doing something, I mean sometimes letting the situation alone for a bit to run its course rather than pressing hard on it.  I find that pushing sometimes only amplifies the situation.  The clarity typically comes when we can put our impatience in check long enough to allow things to happen.  How long is long enough?  That’s a personal choice.  Only you know when it is time to move forward.

Do you sometimes feel your shoes are glued to the floor and you can’t move?  Try unlacing the shoes, leaving them there and stepping in another direction.  They will still be in the same place when you are ready to come back to them.  For now, just get unstuck.
