“Still Stuck?” Blog #139
Can I get past my own lower self feelings today?
Am I able to accept myself for exactly where I am at?
Where is the energy to help me change to “Higher Self” mode?
Someone once said, “whatever you have to give up to have a healthy, honest, happy
life……DO IT NOW”. Why? Because time waits for no one!” Every single one of us have
different situations to deal with in our lives. It’s easy to pick up the phone, call another
person and share all my problems and worries and concerns, then wait for them to give
me answers. Most often, another person does not have the answers to my problems! This
is because it is up to me to dig inside myself and find where I am stuck. What makes me
stuck? Is my mind racing too far ahead? “Slow down, I say” Fear of just doing the right
thing? Am I maybe stuck because I don’t want to know the outcome? So play it out.
Going the opposite way won’t help, ignoring my responsibilities just so I don’t have to deal
with things “for today”? Everyone of us have been there, done that. I used to have a
spinster Aunt who sat at the kitchen table for days, weeks and months, then finally years.
She sat there circling adds in the paper “always going to go get that better job. That is
until she got cancer from drinking and died. Every person alive has fear in their life of
something! If there is a positive outcome for disciplining myself to do something now, it’s
to say this, “feel the fear - do it anyway”. Maybe it’s school. Maybe it is a job opportunity.
Maybe it is a relationship. Maybe it is meeting new people. There is always going to be
“outside of my comfort zone, something different”! Here is a consideration. ask myself, can
I discipline myself to? - “FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY’’. DISCIPLINING MYSELF BUILDS
COURAGE. BUILDING COURAGE, BUILDS MY SELF WORTH = FINALLY I FEEL GOOD INSIDE ME.
CAVING INTO MINDLESS COMFORTS IS STALLING. Life has such beauty In it. We have only but
to look around. ALL the answers I need are within me. All around me waits for me to find
my true purpose.
Here is a fact of life, “NOT LEARNING, MAKES ME STUPID”. So I try hard to learn more about
myself and my life every day. IF I am stuck I must look at my daily habits Now, what are
they? I know some of us have health issues, however, there is always a way around this
too, even if it is isometrics, finding better food to eat, painting, writing and of course prayer
and meditation. Exceptionally long periods of time on the phone, gaming and watching
tv, these habits are only important to a person who JUST wants to be entertained, no
internal growth. No goals. I need to look inside myself and say, “That which looks like
something will break me, can actually make me stronger! Simply put, apply myself to
the task at hand; What is being asked of me today? Is it my job? Am I doing the best I
can and still not coming away content? Maybe it is the wrong job, so look in a different
direction. Is it a class I am having trouble with, there is outside help waiting for me. Is it a
relationship - Every relationship takes lots of work - however, basic premise is be kind,
honest and truthful always. Pray for discernment. It’s up to each of us to find people who
bring us up to our highest endeavors. In turn, we must help ourself find our “true place”.
Isn’t it fascinating how one good remark from a friend can empower and stay with us for
such a long time? There is no reason to be or feel stuck. I must not ever allow myself to
“stay stuck”. First, I ask Jesus: “help me”. I shared this little message awhile back, I share
it again now,
“Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet - Be easy
with me, and I will destroy you……. Who Am I ? I AM HABIT”.
Whether it is school, a relationship or a job or inner talent……Life takes discipline, work and
perseverance. Life happens even while I sit worrying about it. So I might as well give it my
best effort. I have only the greatest gain by trying to succeed. Look at so many things out
there that take endurance, time and effort. A college degree takes four full years, but
opportunity for great wages. Learning photography, writing a song, how to paint, how to
draw, calligraphy. Constantly continuing to reinvent myself, regardless of age! In order to
get unstuck, I need to create a new plan today. No one else will create it for me. For this
involves a paradigm shift. Do I help myself daily or hinder myself daily?
Two people stand in front of my mirror. MY LOWER SELF AND MY HIGHER SELF
Here is a way to find out which person AM I today? My lower self worries, my lower self
casts blame on other situations and people for me being stuck. My lower self says: “well,
I’m just not good at that”. Lower self lies. My higher self says; “I will pray first for help. I want
to try something new today’ ‘I will make a new healthy friend’ My higher self is kind to
myself and others. This is a measure of my soul.. I can create a daily routine mornings,
afternoons and evenings. A good nights sleep is healing, Then I plan (8 hours) That
leaves sixteen hours to create at my own will, a healthy routine for self. There is a good
kind of pressure. This Good Pressure asks me:
Will I BE All that I can be? I AM only stuck as long as I am NOT honest with myself. If I
refuse to live my life from a healthy point of view, so often, along comes that “curve ball”.
Something happens to pull the rug out from under me. It can be my job, my health, a
relationship.
When living life with a healthy perspective, I insulate myself in Jesus’ Christ Light of
complete Love. I am no longer stuck, but safe. I feel HIS Holy Spirit inspiring me to keep
going forward regardless of obstacles in my path.
Can I pray to Jesus today, “Help me get unstuck”.
