Stuck for a Moment

It’s been a week.

I am stuck, or maybe I’m drowning – I’m not sure which. I know we’ve all been here at some point or another. If we are fortunate enough to never have been here, the truth is, that will be here at some point throughout our lives. For some of us, these times last, mere seconds or minutes or hours. For others, these moments can last in eternity.

I’m not sure how long I’ve been here, stuck in this moment. I probably stumbled into it sometime during these last couple years. My core is still there. I want to do well at my job, by my family, and for my friends. But at the same time the treadmill of life just keeps speeding up and it feels like at any moment I’ll be thrown off.

As I reflect on this, I’ve come to realize that I have to do right by myself first of all. I need to make sure my legs, my arms, my lungs—all of me—are able to go the distance. it is going to take some time to prepare my mind and body to pull myself out of this moment and up to the surface. I know I am capable of doing this. I’m just not sure how.

So yes, we’ve all been here or will be here at some point in our lives. That’s OK, it’s all part of life. Accepting this is half the battle when trying to move forward. Happy writing this week!
