A few of the things that are in my conversations and on my mind right now…
Are you struggling for direction, or struggling to accept the direction you’re aimlessly aiming in?
Are you really afraid of the new move, or afraid of what someone else thinks of it?
Have you dodged a bullet this year (this month, this week…), or have you only delayed it?
Do you have jitters now? Or is it easier to admit to being indecisive now, even though that’s always been you?
Are you wishing for a safety net to plop down from the sky… not realizing you’ve got to make your own?
When you turn your fears over and over in your mind, do you know you’re making them worse? Why not get active and stop giving them so much play?
Are you losing steam, or gaining stodgy intractability?
How will you turn your struggles around?
Grow and be well,
Kelly Erickson

Great topic! I turn my struggles around by simply realizing everything happens for a reason…and shed my ego long enough to understand just what it is I need to do.
Thrashing about just weakens and tires me – just freakin’ *doing it* (whatever that ‘it’ may be) is what gets me out of me rut.

Barbara,
Smiling at your comment… I’m very much a “just do it” person, too. When it’s got to be done, what good is waiting?
I love your “shed the ego” comment as well. That’s an excellent point that’s too often overlooked!
Regards,
Kelly

I keep my struggles in a jar on the top shelf the bookcase. The left bookcase, not the long one against the back wall.
Problem is, it’s getting so full that every time I open the jar to put a new struggle in, I have to be careful not to let one of the others out. I could get a new jar I s’pose, but I think that might come off as just avoiding the problem.
