There are so many ways that we can be stuck in life. Our relationships, careers, wellbeing, fitness, and dreams can all get stuck. We can be stuck in a job we don’t like, stuck with a ‘rock and hard place’ decision. We can be stuck on someone else’s list, or stuck, unable to make process through your own list.
In, out. In, out
I take deep breaths in and out. I stand alone at the edge of a battlefield. I can see the faces of monsters bearing down at me. In, out. I blink and time starts to slow. My body shoots with icy adrenaline, fear seeping out of my pores. I know the creatures before me can sense it. They are waiting, waiting for me to make the first move. In, out. I can feel my fingers itching, my toes curling. Every atom in my body is screaming at me to run. My body can’t communicate with my brain, danger has flooded through every nerve. As a nation, we grow busier everyday. We live in a world where more and more is demanded of us every year. We work longer hours, we come into work on weekends, we hold higher expectations on ourselves and others. There are more and more social event invitations and we are so conscious of the impression that we create that we put so much pressure on ourselves to attend each and every one. We feel we need to be out exploring our world everyday. We cannot waste a second, cannot waste a breath.
