Frozen

I’m stuck.

Frozen.

There are ten important things I need to do and I’m not doing any of them. The thing is, I totally know why. It’s because I’m fearful about something.

When my spirit, my inspiration, my soul wants to express itself out in the world and the one I call “I” that is my ego gets in the way and blocks my expression, I stop dead in my tracks.

The blockage creates stagnation and the feeling of “stuckness”. It’s an icky feeling. At the same time, a necessary one.

Without it I wouldn’t recognize its opposite, which are the feelings of motivation and inspiration, ones that I wish to experience to their fullest, and lie beyond the sticky frozen stuckness that I presently feel.

So, as Elsa sings, I need to “Let it go, let it go!”

The ice is melting…..I can already feel it!

xoxo

The Procrastination–Ego analogy…

Posted at 10:09 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 4, 2014

….mirror images….the “devil” on my left shoulder, poking me with it’s pitchfork while my “angel” speaks kindly to me on my right.

Why do I listen to the pokey-pitchfork-devil-annoying thing more often these days than not?

The answer is: because I am living from my ego. Plain and simple.

When my psyche is telling me I am to complete a task, even as mundane as bringing out the trash, and instead I sit down and turn on the television, I am living from ego.

Now, I am not always conscious of this. Why am I not conscious? Because ego is running the show.

How do I become conscious? Through awareness of my resistance toward whatever it is I am choosing not to do. Any task or undertaking that enters my consciousness is there because it is supposed to be there. When dismissed by ego, I have become temporarily stuck to it, unable to move into the next moment with ease.

Now, for that garbage….
