I have to make money and can't do what i want to do now. I want to travel, take time to be me and i want to study design. I am really tired of the same routine and of Law School. So i get stuck in my room and start reading about Philosophy, David Bohm and spirituality, to a point where it seems my mind that used to be so productive and write is now passive receptor of the thoughts of other people. I don't want to go out, don't want to party, or meet friends. I am just stuck here, locked in my bedroom. I am listening to deliciously chilled music though. I'll just let it rock me, as in a rocking chair, or hammock, and taste this moment. Loser? future loser? Wasted unchanneled energy? I am losing the plot. I'll try the : 1. I love you 2. I’m sorry 3. Please forgive me 4. Thank you I am all those things. For Real ( Like ali g would say? I guess i am having a bad day, or week to say. I want to find a way to make the energy come back. I guess my dream , desire and intention for it will have to be the foundation block to start working towards the life i want. the fire, the spark, the gold. I know, i know.... but i get lost sometimes. There is a schism between the life i am living , what is expected from me, and what i want and who i am. I want what i do and my life to be reflection of me. It's all inside Or maybe by the time i am 60 i'll have a bucket list, and look back and say what have i done with my life. I know, it's more simpler no reasons to be scared or stuck, just go ahead and do what i feel like doing. I just wish that design scholarship had been awarded to me last year, it wasn't and i decided to finish the last year of law school, really good grades, but i just don't feel it. I'll do what it takes to make things happen. and just stop going to law classes . I just exposed the sustained incoherence my life is here. Thanks for the tips. I will try the going out one. RIght i'll get out of here and do the effort of going to yoga and dance class today, i have not gone in one week . Peace and inner peace for you. all The reason i procrastinate is because i dislike my life and compromising. . I have to make money and can’t do what i want to do now.

I have not heard of Dr. Vitale, but I will look into him -- I've heard about The Secret, but haven't read it yet -- I'll be sure to check out your summary on your site. I love your breathing tip, TomMcIn -- so easy to do anywhere, too. Thanks for the comments! Thank you, SaiF and TomMcIn!

This seems to relax the rest my body and my mind. A quick way to interrupt a mental block is to breath into your stomach two or three times. This seems to relax the rest my body and my mind.

You've probably heard of Dr Joe Vitale (if you haven't, he's featured on the secret) I'm an admirer of his work, and one of his recent books is called Zero Limits which features a Hawaiian cleansing technique called Ho'oponopono.. I know it sounds weird but I've told some of my friends about it and they've thanked me for it.. So it might help you if you get in this situation.. Basically, you just say four things and it'll start the cleansing process.. 1. I love you 2. I'm sorry 3. Please forgive me 4. Thank you You don't say this to anyone or anything in particular, but direct it to the Universe. Try repeating it like a mantra. I want to explain it here but in fear of too long an entry but if you'd like to know more.. I did a book summary on this at http://www.asksaiful.com/2008/01/14/zero-limits-summary/ To CANI, SaiF The World's First Teen Personal Development Video Blogger Hi Kristen and everyone else!

Accepting reality ("it is what it is") and then focusing on our reaction to it is so important to remember, and so easy to forget. I like the idea of setting limits on certain thoughts, too, even if it can be so difficult to implement. However, meditation is a great way to train your mind to do this -- to allow thoughts to pass through our minds and not get stuck. Thank you for your comments -- all so valuable!

I have been stuck in mental loops for months on end now and all I can say is: Act on your insights. I don't really think I have. I did learn a lot by doing so, but somehow because matters are left onresolved, they tend to get worse. I think it's like being stuck on a runaway 'turn mill'. You have an option. Jumping of and trusting you'll pick yourself up, or you will have enough time to brace yourself for impact. The other option is finally getting so sick and/or tired, you are thrown of, with no sence of where or how you'll land. I hope, pray and believe that I'll find the strength to go with the first option within three days! Maybe that's my final tip. If your mental loop, concerns a tough decision make a promise to yourself and preferably others to resolve it on a specific moment or within a specific time. I haven't really stuck to my promises sofar, but that doesns't really do the idea justice. It think setting a deadline does help. People tend to think clearer faster or with more ' power' when deadlines are nearing. Good luck! I think I have a little tip to add.
