 I'm Stuck!
I've been feeling stuck for several months now. I find I am not motivated to do much of anything, which includes all the things that I know will probably unstick me. I haven't started a new group, or done any health food store tours. I am even having a hard time keeping up with all the simple things that I need to do around my house.
So is this bad? Should I add the stress of beating myself up to my state stuckness? Nah, I don't think so. People have different seasons, just like nature. And sometimes being stuck just means we are in a season of discovery. We are learning and growing, and preparing for our next journey.
So I have accepted were I am now, and will use this time for introspection. And I know when the time is right, I will start rolling again.

 Part of the Process
Feeling Stuck
When we feel stuck in our lives it's important to take stock of what is
going on and find out if there is something we are doing or not doing
that is keeping us stuck. Sometimes the situation is out of our
control, and we need to look within to find the patience required to
wait with equanimity until things move forward again. Many times,
though, we can find the source of our stagnation in our own hearts and
minds.
Sometimes we are clinging to old ideas about reality and we need to
make adjustments that will bring us back in tune with life, so we can
flow again. Sometimes we find that fear of change is what's keeping us
stuck, and we can resolve to find ways of facing that fear.
If introspection does not provide the answers we need, it can sometimes
be helpful to ask those around you if they notice anything obvious that
you might not be able to see. Remember to ask someone whom you can
trust to be kind and sensitive as well as honest. Try to let go of your
resistance because whenever there is something we can't see ourselves,
it's because we don't want to see it. Try to listen with an open mind,
and remember that you are always the final judge of what you need.
Anything offered to us from an outside source will need to be processed
within before its wisdom can take hold.
In all this, be kind to yourself and remember that we all get stuck
sometimes. Think of it as a part of your process, a necessary step on
your journey, rather than as a problem that shouldn't be happening.
This can help to keep your frustration at bay and give you the space
you need to take a deep breath and really figure out what's going on.

 Food Focus: Raw & Cooling Salads
Why is it that in the summer we naturally crave more fresh and raw foods? These foods have a cooling effect on the body. The lightness and high water, fiber and vitamin content work together to act as our internal air conditioning during these warm months. At this time of year we also need less dense, high-energy food, because we get so much energy from being outside in the fresh air and sunshine.
There is no better season than summer to have fun creating your own fresh, tasty, creative salad combinations. By simply tossing together several of your favorite raw veggies, naked or with a light dressing, you have a perfect meal for a hot summer's day.
Try your favorite leafy lettuce with various sliced, diced or grated veggies. The possible combinations are endless. Fresh herbs are a wonderful option to mix in, as they are packed full of flavor. Experiment with adding diverse forms of protein to your salads, such as nuts, seeds, beans, tofu, fish or poultry. Pick up a light and healthy dressing at your local health food store, or mix up something easy, like lemon juice, black pepper and olive oil.
This is a great opportunity to try a new vegetable from your market. What are some creative flavors you've never tried before? Fennel and mint? Daikon radish and arugula? Summer squash with watercress? Whatever you choose, have fun with your food and stay cool. Happy summer!
