You’re striving toward a goal… And you hit a wall! You’re stuck, frustrated, and exhausted.
When active efforts at problem-solving have taken you as far as they can, try letting go.
Turn to something completely different, perhaps something soothingly, mindless, and repetitive. Like taking a walk or a shower, brushing your hair, shaving, knitting or folding laundry. Sever completely your previous train of thoughts and emotions.
We often find our answers in serene places. Get your mind completely off what you were struggling with. Relinquish control. Go into reverie, and then the mind, relieved of pressure, rearranges itself.
Often the answer will be there. Your mind is flooded with solutions and your body with the energy that athletes call “the zone”.
