Why We Should Keep 'MOVING FORWARD'

 

KEEP MOVING FORWARD.  Very true, those powerful words are much easier said than done.  True, at some points in our life, we all felt stuck at some point.  Perhaps you yourself is feeling stuck right now.  WHEN that happens, it can feel just impossible to keep MOVING FORWARD toward your goals and dreams.  Been there, had that.  Maybe, you're feeling a little stuck working on a creative project, like writing an article OR painting of a piece of art.  Perhaps you just ventured into a new business, took on a major project at work, OR began a new health OR fitness regimen.  Verily true, once you get into the fray for the first time, that initial excitement is oozing, and sometimes it even seems to be overflowing📗📙📘

Eventually, that excitement will simmer down and worst, it MAY eventually evaporate in thin air.  So, WHAT NOW if indeed you're stuck? WHEN you feel trapped in a job you hate, a relationship that ISN'T working, OR a boatload of debts OR a life that has a little resemblance to the one you imagined.  Verily true, sometimes we just want to throw in the towel and just give up BUT DON'T give up just yet.  WHETHER you feel stuck even in dry concrete, trying to make a small OR big decision OR wondering WHAT you're doing with your life, it's NOT the end-of-the-world❎❎❎

Hold on, WHAT I often here from counsellors is for us to STEP BACK.  And to quote Einstein:  "NO PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED FROM THE SAME LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT CREATED IT".  Simply put, you need to escalate your efforts to extricate yourself from that deep foxhole.  Meaning, let us access a different level of thinking by assessing our current situation from a fresh, reset viewpoint [and that skewed and convoluted perspective].  In short, let's take a REALITY CHECK and ask ourselves:

• WHERE are you that very moment?
• WHAT got you there?
• WHAT is it you really want?

This is akin to us getting lost deep into the woods.  Verily true, e can keep moving forward, looking for our way out.  Next thing we knew, we could be in panic mode, and going in circles.  OR you could head back the way you came.  Imagine instead that you could stop , take a deep breath and zoom out from your situation.  Imagine that you can fly above it all AS IF you were in a helicopter and look down at yourself amongst the trees.  WHAT could you see OR notice differently from this perspective with a different route, people there to support you, the way out is closer than you thought?  Another way to zoom out is to look at your situation s a neutral observer.  Imagine you're a fly on the wall watching your own life WHAT insights would you give yourself😊😊😊

Our takeaway:  SO WHAT?  SO HOW?  Let me dip into my own travails from the many past years.  WHEN I found myself stuck in mud, I sat down and scribbled as many options as possible [and that included sort of 'crazy' options].  So, WHEN I thought of everything and asked myself 'WHAT OTHER OPTIONS I HAVE', that allowed me to dig deeper into my arsenal, NO matter how thin and run-down my arsenal is at that point.  Because only then can I RESET, REBOOT and RESTART all over again.  YES dude, we gotta KEEP MOVING FORWARD❗❗❗
