Trying too hard

Updated: Oct 26, 2023


I was struggling this evening to find an interesting, educational subject that might be enjoyable to everyone. I struggled to write about minimalism and the connection that might exist when it comes to your emotions, how the current situation might affect your behaviour and thoughts, and so on. I could not write anything conclusive or something of a higher significance (at least, this is what I planned).


So, I wrote about how I cannot write about something.

When you feel that you are stuck, all you do is push that thing further away by struggling to make it work. By doing that, you might increase the resistance (the resistance of not doing it). Stop yourself and relax, take deep breaths, and allow the helplessness to be part of your being. Once you accept that you have limitations and that sometimes you cannot force yourself into doing things, you will learn to manage your current situation, and, in the process, you might become calmer and kinder. Allow yourself to do nothing, to just breathe and be.


Be yourself even when you cannot be, that is the beauty in quietness …just breathe and allow it.
