In Limbo

Do you ever feel stuck?  Like stagnant and feeling like you're fighting against quicksand and yet you never go anywhere?  That was tonight. 

I think sometimes we forget the power of patience.  It's a virtue for a reason, and especially in today's society it's just so difficult sometimes to remind ourselves that this "fast-paced" society is a revelation to the world of time.  In fact, it's counterintuitive and makes you poise unrealistic goals for how long things in your life should take. 

So then you find yourself in these "Stuck" places.

My recommendation?  Take a walk.  Get OUTSIDE.  Ride your bike, and do it SOLO.  Allow yourself to breathe in the fresh air and remind yourself the power of nature and the power you hold within yourself.  There's something very grounding about being outside, that it recharges your battery and reminds you to recheck your "time" table.

And if that's not enough, the view should remind you to feel grateful. 

And if that still doesn't work, force yourself to enumerate a mental list of the things your grateful for!  It may seem forced (but hopefully not!) and it'll bring about a sense of comfort and a smile.  And those always brighten your spirit and make you happy (-er). 

So go play with Mother Nature.  She's a great source of refuge and power.
