Stuck Sucks

Remember that time you broke up with what’s-their-name and you crawled under the covers and didn’t want to ever get up? Because you just couldn’t face anything and life from this point was just unimaginable.

You remember that, right?

But then you had to pee. Although you lay there uncomfortably for a good 15 minutes trying to think of ways to avoid that too.

It took every bit of willpower to get your butt out of that bed. And while you were emptying your bladder, you thought “ok, I should have some water.” And you toddle into the kitchen and you open the fridge and “Hey, I’m going to need snacks.”

Am I right?

Then, I’m guessing there is a 80% chance the couch was closer than your bed. So you sat down and there you were with liquid, food, and more comfortable than you were just 10 minutes before, being distracted by terrible television – because that’s all that seems to be on offer when you’re feeling shitty. And I know you know what I’m talking about.

So  what happened? What is the thing that got you out of that bed and got you back on track?

 You moved.

It wasn’t far. But it was enough and the next time was easier. And the next time and the time after that. Movement got you into the bathroom and into the kitchen and got you on with your life. Tiny steps. Moving forward. 

Actually, I’ve just done this right now – sitting down at the keyword, thoughts swirling, my fingers just hanging waiting for the right words. But I was stuck because I didn’t know how to start. Once those fingers were tapping, the ideas started flowing. I know you’ve felt this too – whether trying to write, or trying to decide, or trying to move forward or trying to change your life. You’re stuck. And stuck sucks. 

Oh I know about the suckiness of stuck – I used to be the Queen of Stuck. Stuck waiting, stuck, wanting, stuck not knowing, stuck with not enough, stuck. The only way I ever got out of it was by moving.

There will always be some stickiness because life is like that. But knowing a way to get out of it is gold.

You know what stuck feels like. It’s that heavy mix of doubt, anxiety, depression, overwhelm. Your body doesn’t want to move, you just wish someone threw a big duvet over you where you could hide until it’s all better. Unlikely to happen unless you have one of these– but wow, what a weight to carry around!

The only way to find out what you want, or what’s going to come next, or how to solve the problem is to do something. It’s to move. Movement is energy and the only way to go forward is through movement. No one got anywhere by just simply thinking about something. They had to move at some point. 

Because this is what movement does for you:

Movement helps you think

Movement makes you feel better

Fortune favours the bold

Movement is energy and people want to be around others with good energy.

Find out what excites you and follow it

Pretending nothing is wrong gets you nowhere

Because happiness is knowing what you want and feeling like you’re moving towards it.
