Seeking to escape or quiet down your busy mind but afterwards feeling trapped even more? It's good to notice the cycle - that's where a journey to change begins. Next step is to track down where and how the trap was set.

Doing all the right things but not getting anywhere? There's something you want to get rid of... Whatever is keeping you stuck - can be shifted once you understand the cause and have a clear direction.

As if time has stopped, like lost in a maze, or like nothing matters anymore... Or maybe seeing only one way out of this... Feeling defeated, empty, disconnected, not belonging? It wasn't always like that. It is possible it will all get better. There is a way out and perhaps more than one.

Something happened or somebody has done something to you - it hurts like hell? Perhaps lots of unfairness in your life... The sense of helplessness, frustration, disappointment... maybe mixed feelings - can change towards some new 'normal life' or balance.

'If only I... could, said, did, had, made, was...' - feeling incomplete, judged, rejected, unworthy, desperate? Whether you've noticed this recently or you think you've been like this all your life - it has a beginning. Understanding what's keeping you behind will dissolve the sense of incompleteness.

Afraid of your own mind at times? Not feeling yourself or not in control - not the way you used to be or you'd like to be. Being hard on yourself doesn't work... only adds to the feeling of overwhelm. Maybe you can start noticing how things start accelerating in your mind and body.
