Don’t be afraid of slow changes, be afraid to stand still.
Chinese Proverb.
- We all know what physical immobility is.
- But what about mental immobility?This seems more complicated to prevent and fix.
Mental immobility can range from total inaction to small hesitations and indecisions. How can we fix it? Here we will give you the answers to all these questions.
The first question we have to ask ourselves is: do we know when we’re immobilized, do you know if you’re immobilized right now?
There are many occasions when we can feel that we are under the effects of mental immobility, here we will give some references, although the list may be longer:
You can’t work on a project you’re interested in, something keeps you from doing it. You feel an unexplained blockage that you can’t break.
2. You spend the day sitting and passive, doing nothing, just thinking about your problems. You feel curled up and heavy.
3. You avoid talking to someone. Despite the temptation to have a new friendship, which would be very nice, there is something you can’t explain that prevents you from doing so.
4. Treat someone you love unfairly. You can say words you shouldn’t have said, you don’t know why you’re acting that way.
5. Does his body tremble or have inexplicable tics that manifests what you want to do, but which, for some reason, did not.
You’re not able to do activities you used to enjoy and just thinking about moving already exhausts you and incapacitates you.
Have you identified with any of the above situations?Can you imagine more important situations?If so, now is the time to see how you can solve this problem.
Here are some solutions to overcome mental immobility. These are very general steps that will guide you to resolve this feeling of inaction or mental hesitation.
The first thing we have to do is identify what is holding us back, think about the situation that causes this blockade. For example, why can’t you carry out this project at work, what causes its inactivity?What’s the point?
Perhaps it could be a problematic family situation, low self-esteem, a high sensitivity caused by something?We have to think about all this to find a solution.
Now that you know what’s blocking you, how are you going to act?, you can do two things: do nothing or find a solution, the second is the best, because you’ll have to get out of this awkward situation you find yourself in, besides learning from it.
Think carefully about the steps you are going to take, how you plan them. You have to make sure you don’t back down. Think that stillness is very powerful and strong. You will have to go to great lengths to overcome it, if you wish.
The time has come to test the solution for your immobility. Get strength wherever you are! If you can’t leave your home, try to fool your mind with things that can cheer you up and get you out of your passivity.
The effort will be great and several strategies may be needed until you find the one that exceeds the block you are in.
Have you managed to overcome your immobility? Make sure everything’s okay, whether it’s completely overtaken or if that’s what you want to believe.
Take the opportunity to think about the near future, where you can relive the same thing, what will be the next situation?Think that immobility may not manifest itself in the same way, if this time it was at work, maybe the next one is in your emotional life.
As we have seen, it is very important to determine where we feel motionless or stagnant, from there we have to choose the option that best suits us to move forward.
Do you feel trapped at work? So do something else and try to overcome this blockade.
Do you unfairly treat the people you love? Determine what’s going on, what irritates you, what’s blocking you.
Only you can overcome mental immobility with effort, determination, and a lot of willpower.
