Start by Starting: The First Step in Getting Unstuck

The world is full of life hacks. They're essentially methods and mindsets developed or learned by people to achieve a certain result based on their positioning in time and space. Now that last part is important, because no matter how much someone swears by it, its still not going to work for everyone. Any "discovery"of information or technique is a persons perspective, influenced by their input and environment, arranged in a new way that resonates with their understanding of this existence. That new insight is also going to resonate with its own unique demographic that otherwise wouldn't have happened. (what if there was a database of life hacks, searchable by outcome, life situations or beliefs?)

So what am I getting at with this?

Naturally, I can only speak from my perspective, but this comes from my own experience of trying to figure out this life of mine; to understand my inner being and what purpose and passions light my soul on fire, because in that is how I want to spend my time in this Earthly existence. I have spent hours and months and years unpacking my reasoning and behaviors, not to mention FEELINGS. My, all the feelings. All of these invisible, intangible things that shape our thoughts and actions and that translate to the then physical manifestations of such. Those invisible things that are hardly taught in modern society, yet so greatly impactful on our well-being consequently brings us to where we are.

These thoughts overwhelmed me for a long time, and instead of going all-in on one of these solutions or hacks, I started by trying all sorts of new things without an attachment to the end result. Overtime I've collected the practices and beliefs that resonated, and discarded the rest. In short, I just started by starting.

Overthinking/analyzing is the antithesis of flow, for flow is freeing, creative non-attachment that creates worlds of opportunity otherwise stifled by expectations, comparison, Both can be innovative, so not to say one is wrong or right, rather used with intention based on the desired outcome.

It's a balance that comes with practice, beginning when your skillset is low, but willingness and determination are high.

It's why having solid foundations are so important, so you are not shaken when success doesn't come; these then were not the solutions meant for you, but lessons that broadened your perspective to achieve that thing, that Why, that we are all chasing.


So, whatever you are feeling called to, go to it. Don't think too much about what you are expecting it to be; that part will work itself out.
