Gratitude List

I normally do these posts on Sundays or Mondays, but since tomorrow is Easter Sunday, I'm posting today instead. Last month's Gratitude List was on a Tuesday as well but I plan to get back to the regular posting schedule next month! :)

  Things I'm grateful for this month: 

  • Birthday presents and wishes :)
  • Meeting up with my belly dance friends
  • Oestara/the Spring Equinox and days continuing to get longer as spring starts
  • Getting a drink from Popeyes- my first time going there
  • Sunsets after dull days
  • Kinder Mini Eggs and Cadbury chocolate milk eggs!
  • Finding new meal ideas
  • Easter

 

I also thought I'd share a photo I took on Oestara/the Spring Equinox:

Sunset on Mill Hill, Shoreham-by-sea.

Feeling Stuck (When Your Dreams Seem Far Away)

 


I've previously written about feeling down and stuck in life. My most recent post on that was When You've Been Down for Too Long (two years ago now!), which you can read here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2022/02/when-youve-been-down-for-too-long.html

I've also written about feeling stuck when it comes to achieving your goals, particularly when it comes to manifesting with the Law of Attraction and how to believe in your dreams coming true. And I've looked at the Law of Assumption as an alternative way of manifesting. Although I felt some kind of shift earlier last year, I'm currently in a place where I'm feeling quite stuck not just in manifesting but in life in general. So I thought I'd take a look at working through it.


Why do we feel stuck?

We can feel stuck for many reasons- feeling like nothing has changed in our life in general for a long time, because of a particular situation in our life that's making us unhappy (a relationship/lack of one), job stress, health problems etc.) or wanting to achieve a goal but feeling unable to reach it.

It can be really hard and frustrating to feel like this. It's important not to blame yourself. Some things may be beyond your control and you could be suffering from trauma, experiencing discrimination or be in an abusive situation. I can't address these myself but I shared some links in my When You've Been Down Too for Long post. I'll share them again below, plus some more that may help.

Gratitude List

 Things I'm grateful for this month:

 

I've been going through an anxious, down time lately and struggling a bit to think of things for this month's Gratitude List. But it does help to write them. I'd like to blog more during 2024 and have been working on a post. It's hard to feel inspired sometimes.

For anyone also finding things difficult, I hope you're coping as best you can and you can find something to hep you. :)
