Something that helped when I was feeling stuck
I’ve been following Abraham Hicks for some time now. Sometimes the teachings just flow, and everything feels easy to understand and apply. Other times, I find myself getting stuck in trying so hard to “practice” the teachings that I actually end up feeling more bogged down.
I know the teachings work because I’ve experienced great success with them. But when something doesn’t seem to work, I often start wondering what I’m doing wrong.
Today, I was feeling a bit down because of some thoughts around comparison. I knew the feeling wasn’t helping me, but I couldn’t seem to stop it, and I ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole. I also couldn’t figure out what “exercise” I was supposed to do to get myself out of that state.
Then I came across a video that helped something click for me: when you’re in a really negative place, exercises like a focus wheel or a rampage of appreciation may simply be too big a jump. The first step is just to move from negative to neutral, or even from negative to slightly less negative.
What worked for me today was:
Negative → Neutral: 10 minutes of meditation
Negative → Better: Finding just one better-feeling thought
And honestly, I found myself in a much better state afterward.
I thought I’d share this in case anyone else has those moments where they know they want to feel better but don’t know which process to reach for.
