// Sometimes the pause is part of the process //
I’ve been noticing something in myself lately.
When I have too much going on, I can very easily move from “I have a lot to do” into “why can’t I just do this?” — and from there into a kind of freeze.
Yesterday, instead of fighting it, I tried something different.
I stopped.
Lay down on the floor.
Felt myself being held by the Earth.
And thought about The Hanged Man — not as a card about being stuck, but as an invitation to stop struggling against the moment I’m actually in.
I still didn’t get anything done.
But perhaps that wasn’t the failure I was making it out to be.
♥ Have you ever noticed yourself fighting a pause that perhaps needed to be honoured instead? ♥
