Where are you most stuck in your life? What is it you keep doing over and over with very little progress and yet you continue to press on? When someone says the word “frustrated” what do you most associate with it? Let’s talk about it.
At such times of feeling stuck and frustrated, rather than continuing to press forward in the same manner, it’s far more powerful to stand back and look at your process. Perhaps your whole problem is one of processing. Stuck-ness creates a world of its own. It brings in other downward energies like discouragement, anger, impatience, stress, and the feeling you are alone. Is this process really going to bring forth something new and wonderful for you?
Sometimes in our quantum attempts to fix something, maybe everything, we push so hard and for so long that we actually begin a depletion stage, especially when we suffer so much fatigue from being stuck.
I’m sure you’re a good person and it’s because you’re so darn responsible that you even bother to continue to carry the ball. You don’t want to fail yourself or to fail others. You have the work ethic and you’re sure that this will eventually win out. These are admirable traits. Maybe there’s something more you can add that will actually make your life sweeter and achieve things easier.
Let’s talk about something very opposite to being stuck. Surrender. It’s an intelligent option that may clear the old energies out and invent some new openings for you. There are many possibilities in surrender. It’s an entirely different mind set than “making or forcing” things to go through only to be met with stubborn resistance from all your attempts to be successful.
Surrender doesn’t mean you will be neglecting the very thing that most depends on you alone. Surrender doesn’t mean you quit and walk away. Surrender means you stay with it, but in a new way. It’s a new way of being with an old situation.
You find an opening where you can change your attitude to one of yielding to something greater than yourself. And you allow this “Greater Than” power to provide something that was missing and that you yourself couldn’t provide.
Surrender changes the scenario from strife to resting in action, while trusting that there is now a greater power and action than yourself that is at work. And you can put your great energy into actively trusting it.
Here’s a simple method you can practice. When you experience the stuck-ness and those tired feelings, turn your thought to this affirmation – and do it over and over until the stuck-ness leaves permanently and you have moved through it. Here’s the affirmation.
I trust that something greater than me is at work, something that desires to bless me. I will contemplate this “greater than” place and let go of my stuck-ness. I am open to moving forward. I surrender to this now.
