Feeling Stuck in Life

and How to Get Unstuck

Being stuck feels like your life is broken into countless puzzle pieces that don’t fit together, yet there’s resolution…waiting for you.

We all feel stuck at one time or another. You may feel frozen or numb, or that life is suddenly falling apart. You may perceive anxiety, fear, panic, or feel trapped, helpless, negative, broken, or overwhelmed. There is a helpful article in Psychology Today that addresses this very topic,

But right now, your puzzle pieces are flashing, flying, falling. It’s a mess. You can’t figure out how to put it back together. It takes much more than organizing or decluttering. Where do you even start?

Answer for Un-Stuck

The answer is: BEGIN at the END!

You will find astounding resolution in this process. Look at the picture on the puzzle box. It is finished. Complete. Every piece fits perfectly together. What a picture! Yes! This is the solution. This is where you want to be!

How do you get there?

Life: Reality versus Imagination

Don’t let Reality tell your story. Let your imagination invent the story of what you desire. Hook it up to Divine Union (see my last blog: Plato’s Divine Union). This is when you let your visions open the doors to your grand good fortune.

See and Feel

Image. (That’s a verb.) Your eyes are the camera, and your brain is the film developer (Hah! That is, before digital imaging!). You take the pictures you want, for the ending you want, just like the picture on the puzzle box. Basically, you are taking the pictures for your story, and you make it a clear definite image in your brain.

Focus. See it. Feel it. Believe. Have perfect faith and trust. Keep your picture in your brain. Feel that you’ve got it! Feel that it is yours.

It is tricky because, in physical existence, you can’t see it or touch it…  … yet!

Good word, “yet”. It tells you that you know it’s coming.

Your Life – Your Order

This imaging puzzle piece for getting unstuck is just like your order to Amazon. You ordered it. You know it is being processed, it’s in transit, it’s out for delivery, and it will arrive. And it does! In perfect timing! Same thing here: you put in your order to the Universe – God – Source -. Now let go and let it arrive! It will appear.

Believe

Know. What you want is already here. Do your happy dance. So grateful that you have it… even when you can’t touch it. Meditate. Believe. It will show up. With faith and trust, belief and imagination, thankfulness and appreciation. Embed these images and feelings in your brain, your heart, your soul.

Eject “Stuck” Mistakes

You admit it, your puzzle pieces are in a mess. So, do not look there. It’s only showing you the tangled pieces, or mistakes, of how things are stuck – how they do not fit together.

Instead, pivot. Free yourself. Turn away from the past mistakes that ambush you, and steal your powerful, positive energies. Live now. In the wonderful now of your imagination, welded to Divine Inspiration. This is where your engaging puzzle pieces suddenly show themselves.

Eject-Buttons

You have two buttons that help you eject your tangled puzzle pieces or just plain messy mistakes.

  1. Ask

The gateway to knowledge and wisdom are always open to you, and help is always at hand, when you ask for it. And sometimes it comes from unlikely, yet utterly delightful places.

I was stuck, trying to  create a short video trailer for my book, Becoming Jesse. My music composition was ready,  but I needed help making the audio file. I prepared my image slides, but they required a video file. So, I asked for help, and the Universe – God – Source – answered. Our two oldest Grands guided me through – patiently – directing me for each step, so that I could handle it by myself. What a precious collaboration! I asked. I got an answer. A solution.

  1. Act

Mantras and affirmations are powerful, and they truly bear fruit when we DO something. When we act – especially with intuition (Divine God – Source – talking to you).

A friend needed to travel from New England to Florida to be with her ailing mother. But she didn’t have a car and she had no money for air, train or bus fare. She felt desperate. But she stopped and calmed herself. She asked God for a safe, easy way to get there. Soon after, she got a “spark” of intuition to take a walk in a beautiful garden nearby. She didn’t really feel like going, but she decided to act – to follow her intuition. While strolling through the garden, she felt awake, lighter, inspired. Around the next bend she met an old friend, who told her she was just taking a break before her long drive to Florida. She said, “I could use some company. By any chance, would you like to come along?”

Everyday Magic

These things really do happen to us. Your ending picture is real! When get “unstuck” we feel like it is the most amazing coincidence. We call it everything from synchronicity to destiny, karma to serendipity, marvels to miracles. With such gratitude and appreciation, I call it our everyday magic… with your …

LIGHT ON!
