Part of getting unstuck

When our car gets stuck in the mud or snow, we immediately try to get out.
Sometimes we have to spin our wheels to get a rocking going.
Sometimes we have to try harder,then try again before we can get out.
Sometimes, spinning our wheels digs us in more deeply.
Then in frustration, we let go, and relax.
Soon we find ourselves doing what we need to get unstuck.
We ask for help or figure out another approach.

That's how it is on our journey.
We may find ourselves in a situation we don't know how to handle.
So we start spinning our wheels in frustration, confusion, or fear.
What we know is we want out.
Sometimes we need to get through that time
of spinning our wheels in order to get to the next place,
the place where we slow down and figure out what to do next.
Sometimes our frustration helps generate energy
to get momentum going in the general direction of solving the problem.
Putting forth that energy gets steam built up,
tells us and the universe we're ready to free ourselves.

If you find yourself spinning your wheels, be gentle with yourself.
Slow down, get a nice rocking motion going,
one that's rhythmic yet powerful enough for free you,
then put the car in gear, step on the gas, and gently drive out of the muck.

Sometimes we need to spin our wheels. It helps us get unstuck.
