I have to get this out, and maybe this will help someone else.

It's been 6 years of addictive behavior. I feel judged for saying anything to anyone. And my spirit has suffered. I feel stuck and I don't know what direction to turn to first.

I know that I need to meditate. But I don't remember to practice meditation. I know that I need to study my religion but again I don't. I need to be in nature, but it rains a lot here.

I have excuses for everything. I'm lazy but I know that if I don't change, then I won't be able to help those that need my help.

I'm in a counseling program, and I feel stuck. I am working on an assignment around spirituality, and I don't know how to write what I want to say. and I don't know what to say. I want to share my story but my story is trapped inside me. Maybe I need to connect to my spirit more. And then a song comes on.
"Breakeven" by The Script. I feel that I am falling to pieces. I need to connect with my spirit but, I'm scared and fear and faith do not go together. Any ideas of who to get past this? Any experiences that you would like to share.
TIA

Hi puzzclar. Sorry you are feeling stuck. To me I get stuck when I try to reason my way out of things. Stories help me go beyond words.

Here is one example

When you say addictive behaviors do you mean substances?

Thank you CANDC! The chicken and the eagle was exactly what I needed. I'm at that stage in life where I have to ask, Will I choose to fly?

The past few weeks have been filled with self-discovery. I have found the "Miracle Equation" By Hal Elrod, and have discovered that I need to make more of an effort to overcome the challenges that I am faced with.

In the last 24 hours, I started to work on The Wheel of Wellness assignment. Up until this point, I have discovered a lot about myself, and need to take action.

But I'm scared. And I am letting fear win. That is what I have always done. And that brings a feeling of sadness. I need to do many things but I can't rush this process like I have been trying to. I need to slow down and come up with a plan of how to change, or how to fly.

Thank you!!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
