Things continue to be challenging as COVID cases increase and we continue to socially isolate.

One of my favorite skills in challenging times such as these is to see yourself as moving toward something you would like to have for yourself.

You may say, “It’s kind of tough to move toward things with everything shut down these days.”

I hear you. But keep in mind that there may be things you can do inside yourself to prepare for when things open up externally.

One way to approach this is to work with things under the surface. A useful metaphor is an iceberg with ten percent above the water and ninety percent in the ocean. Now may be a time to work on the ninety percent.

So if you have a business that is slowing down, you could work to clarify the business you want to do and how to market it. If you want a love relationship, you could work internally on how to allow more love and intimacy into your life.

Working on things beneath the surface can be challenging because they do not have any form (yet anyway). There’s a tendency to wonder if what you are working on is even real or if you are truly making progress.

The power of seeing yourself as moving toward is that you view yourself in relation to the thing you want to awaken. Every time you do a little thing that is related to the thing you want to awaken, you see yourself as moving toward the thing you want.

So now you are seeing yourself as moving toward. You are moving, growing, and progressing. So much better than seeing yourself as blocked, oppressed, and isolated.

It frees up your energy. You see yourself making progress. Your life is no longer on hold. Things are progressing under the surface. Which is where everything starts anyway.
