What if procrastination — or that feeling of not wanting to do anything — wasn’t a lack of willpower…
But your system’s silent cry: “Stop. Deal with what’s blocked first.”
What you don’t digest stays within you… and runs your life without you even knowing it.
I realize that the essence of my previous post may not have been clear.
A mental state or an emotion is never there by mistake or by chance.�Never believe that “it’s just your personality.”�It’s a reaction from your system, a response from your Being, telling you that a life experience has touched you.�If you don’t take the time to process it, it stays inside you, hidden.
Now that I’ve been able to realize and bring this into awareness, I can share with you the inner story my Being was living, hidden from my conscious mind.�Let me try to translate what happened within me:
It all began with significant life experiences that touched me deeply.�But, as life and daily obligations tend to be, there was the pressure to move on, to keep going, to meet responsibilities.�So these experiences and their impact on me were set aside, swept under the rug, forgotten from my conscious mind.�But in truth, nothing had disappeared — only been hidden and forgotten.
Then, at some point, something reactivates them.�It may seem trivial, but it’s actually a catalyst — for example, in this case, the three hours spent at the hospital for an ultrasound.
After that, a sense of unease began to grow.�Without being able to understand it or pinpoint its origin.�It could have lingered for a long time, even growing, or eventually dimming my inner light.
A movement in the physical world — in this case, the yoga practice I did the next day — shifted that imprint, created space, and allowed an emotion (in this case, sadness) to be released.�This emotion and its many causes could then be brought into awareness, first in meditation, then in an open and heartfelt conversation with my best friend — my husband, with his keen and attentive ear.
So, isn’t that sometimes what procrastination and lack of motivation are?�An inner system that refuses to move forward until you’ve taken the time to sit with, feel, and process what’s blocked?
I invite you to ask yourself:�Do you do the same?�And what are, for you, the consequences — conscious or unconscious?�What is the emotion and the story still blocked inside you that keeps you from feeling free and light?
