Getting Unstuck

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” 

-Mahatma Gandhi

Stuck: a place that I never wanted to be. I have felt stuck for a while now. I woke up numerous times and thought that there must be something more than this, something that I am missing. Change is a difficult process, one that I use to revel in and one that I have seemed to dread more and more as I have grown older. Maybe I am stuck because of my refusal to change or my unwillingness to embrace the changes that would benefit me. I believe that my energy would be much higher if I didn’t waste so much of it fighting inevitable change. If today was my last day I am not sure exactly what regrets I would have. I am sure there would be plenty of things that I wish I had said, done, or tried. So I am going to unstick myself- work on just being and living a regret free life.

Buddha outlined seven steps for mindful and conscious living. I am going to base my journey on these.

1.     Feel your longing, notice where you are stuck

2.     Show up

3.     Pay attention

4.     Live in reality, listen to your truths

5.     Connect with others, connect with life

6.     Move from thought to action

7.     Let go

So here goes nothing- welcome to my journey. I hope that I laugh my way through this, just like I do with so many other aspects of life.
