      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…

      ….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….
