Sacred stuckness

I’m doing Goddess Leonie’s eCourse and am only catching up on last week’s theme now. It’s about “sacred stuckness” – acknowledging the bits of you that are holding you back from doing what you want to do. Pretty poignant, since I was apparently stuck enough to delay it for a week!

Here are the questions from the worksheet, which I’ll attempt to answer now. They’re likely not going to be very comprehensive, but a start is better than nothing…

1. What stuckness do you feel right now?

Stuckness at acknowledging my stuckness! Figuring out how to be financially independent, beholden to no one, not long-term dependent on anybody. Working past familial prejudices and the fear of completely destroying some people in pursuit of my own creation. Actually doing things that would do me a world of good.

2. If you had a conversation with your stuckness about why they were there, what would they say to you?

You’re tired.
We just want you to not be disappointed.
Why do you have to work so hard? We can give you an easy life.
You don’t have to do anything!
Just sleep.
Why do you have to worry so much?
You’re not very healthy.
You’re not very good.
You should listen to us.

3. Ask your stuckness: What do I need to change in order for you to feel safe?

You should acknowledge me more.
You should listen to what we have to say!
You should understand, we only want you to be well.
We are important too, you know.
You should care for us.

[my stuckness sounds like my parents. exact voices.]

4. Ask your stuckness: What are you trying to teach me?

That we mean well. That we’re always looking out for you.
The world is a dangerous place and I don’t want you to get hurt.
Will you be OK? I need to know that you’re OK. Please be OK.

5. Working with your stuckness: write ideas on how you can work with them.

Acknowledging the fear and the bad sides before starting off.
Knowing that not everything’s danger-proof.
Show them that I’ll be fine.
Don’t cling to their expectations; I can’t control how they feel.
