I normally write these posts on the last Sunday or Monday of the month, but yesterday I did another post . So I'm writing this month's Gratitude List today instead. :) 

 

Things I'm grateful for this month:

  • Imbolg/Imbolc
  • Daffodils and other signs of spring
  • The days getting longer
  • Sunny days after lots of rain! 
  • Going to Starbucks
  • Listening to new music
  • Getting a McDonald's caramel frappe again (they hadn't been available for a while)!
  • Books

Feeling Stuck (When Your Dreams Seem Far Away)

 


I've previously written about feeling down and stuck in life. My most recent post on that was When You've Been Down for Too Long (two years ago now!), which you can read here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2022/02/when-youve-been-down-for-too-long.html

I've also written about feeling stuck when it comes to achieving your goals, particularly when it comes to manifesting with the Law of Attraction and how to believe in your dreams coming true. And I've looked at the Law of Assumption as an alternative way of manifesting. Although I felt some kind of shift earlier last year, I'm currently in a place where I'm feeling quite stuck not just in manifesting but in life in general. So I thought I'd take a look at working through it.


Why do we feel stuck?

We can feel stuck for many reasons- feeling like nothing has changed in our life in general for a long time, because of a particular situation in our life that's making us unhappy (a relationship/lack of one), job stress, health problems etc.) or wanting to achieve a goal but feeling unable to reach it.

It can be really hard and frustrating to feel like this. It's important not to blame yourself. Some things may be beyond your control and you could be suffering from trauma, experiencing discrimination or be in an abusive situation. I can't address these myself but I shared some links in my When You've Been Down Too for Long post. I'll share them again below, plus some more that may help.

Gratitude List

 Things I'm grateful for this month:

 

I've been going through an anxious, down time lately and struggling a bit to think of things for this month's Gratitude List. But it does help to write them. I'd like to blog more during 2024 and have been working on a post. It's hard to feel inspired sometimes.

For anyone also finding things difficult, I hope you're coping as best you can and you can find something to hep you. :)

Letting Go of 2023

 

It's the end of the year, so it's time for my annual letting go post! I've written them for 6 years now and you can see my previous posts at the links below:

Letting Go of 2022: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2023/01/letting-go-of-2022.html

 

The end of 2022 wasn't very good for me (due to personal reasons), as I mentioned in the previous Letting Go post. And 2023 didn't start off that well. But it got better further into the year. I also write a mid-year reflections post and you can read 2023's here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2023/06/mid-2023-reflections.html

If you follow numerology, the Universal Year Number for 2023 was 7, so 2024's is 8. Its themes are empowerment, manifestation and abundance. It's supposed be an "accelerator" year, which will help people push forward on their goals. You can read more about it here: https://astrostyle.com/8-universal-year-2024-numerology-horoscope/
