Caught myself randomly staring into the abyss more than three times in less than an hour and that is a broken record.
Feeling stuck is one of the worst feelings ever. Stagnation can be very demoralizing. Imagine waking very early in order to have a fulfilling day and then half way through the day, you've not been able to achieve anything solid?
*I picked up my phone just to scribble down a few reasons why I think I'm feeling overwhelmed and I ended up making an entire post. Oopsy daisy.*
I woke up with a flight of ideas and a list of tasks to carry out as usual and despite my effort, nothing has been achieved, yet. I choose to remain positive in times like this because ‘hope’ is one thing I know I can hold onto.
I pride myself as a challenge taker. Sure, I love challenges but I believe “we” (lovers of challenges) do not really talk about the toil, the mental stress, the questioning of our intelligence and every other demoralizing thing that goes on behind the scene. A whole lot goes on behind the scenes.
I've been working on a project for a little over a week now and just when I thought I was about to hit the nail on the head, something else came up. Now, it's taking me longer than expected to deal with this challenge. I've even risked it all and taken a different approach but nothing. I've asked questions and gotten no response. Asked for second, third and even fourth opinions but no one seems to be able to figure it out either.
I could officially say I'm tired but I've come too far to give up even though that seems like a very enticing option. “Give up and it all comes to an end”. *Nahh.*
Now, I have to vent and the best way I know how to do so is by writing. One word at a time, till my heart and head feels a little lighter. I may not be able to give explicit details on the current situation but maybe someday I will.
But I have an important question: How do you deal with stagnation? Whether physical, mental or emotional? Or better still, how do people who “bite a bit more than they can chew” handle the situation? Is there a cheat code of some sort?
