Stuck?

What is stuck?

We all know, yet the answer is illusive. It can be an unfinished item on a ToDo list, a postponed decision for no apparent reason, an inappropriate reaction to a momentary thought, or the abrupt interruption of feelings of incompetence, unworthiness or foolishness. It often is far worse.

Move!

Stuck? Move!

What is Move!? It is innate skill. It is how: Experience modifies beliefs created by old experience. It quiets distress, elaborates our values and develops valuable intuitions about ourselves and the world around.

It happens continuously without effort or conscious thought. We can improve our skills and give conscious direction to our motion.

"But I Can't"

Stuck? Move! “But I Can’t”

When we can’t, we are stuck in an unchanging experience. Because it never changes, it proves a narrow truth. We experience these narrow truths as limiting beliefs. How do I set unchanging experiences in motion and dispel limiting beliefs? Move!

Not Worrying Enough

▲ Worrying Can Be Problem Solving ▼

Jeff Wise:

On the other hand, the worriers performed better on the Stroop test, indicating that they were better able to focus their attention away from the emotional meaning of the words and to instead concentrate on the color. Since inability to focus is one of the main symptoms of depression, the implication is that in the real world depressed people who find themselves in a state of chronic worry are, in at least one narrow sense, better off.

Chronic worrying might be another form of rumination. For more discussion, see:
