Stop Flailing to See the Shore: Finding Clarity in Stillness

Have you ever felt like you’re treading water in the middle of the sea, arms flailing, unsure of where to go next? It’s a familiar sensation when we find ourselves engulfed in emotional drama or struggling with our habits. We start splashing around, making moves without a clear understanding of our surroundings.

Now, imagine a different approach. Instead of flailing, take a moment to be still and look around.

Absorb the whole picture. You might just realize that the shore—the place of rest, clarity, and purpose—is closer than you think.

In life, and especially when tackling our habits, we often throw everything at the issue, floundering in our attempts. “I want to stop this,” or “I need to change that,” we say. But what if we paused and asked ourselves a different question: What do I truly want?

For instance, don’t focus on shedding pounds if it’s weight loss. Envision the person you’ll become. Close your eyes and see yourself confidently striding through life, comfortable in your own skin, sipping tea under the sun, engaged in meaningful conversations, or pursuing your dreams with vigor.

If sobriety is what you desire, don’t fixate on mere abstinence or counting the days without a drink. Instead, envision the woman you would become without hangovers, regrets in the morning, or feelings of shame. Picture her confidently navigating life, embracing mornings with clarity and purpose, and engaging fully in each moment without the weight of a progress-disrupting habit. Who is she, and how does she move through her days differently? Embrace this vision of freedom and vitality, and let it inspire your journey toward a brighter, healthier future.

Why is this vision important? If you can dream it, feel it, and see it, then you can be it. The key is to immerse yourself in this vision daily—meditate on it each morning, reflect on it before sleep, and let your mind work on turning this dream into reality.

Whether you’re striving to quit a habit, lose weight, or chase a dream, the first step is to create a clear, vivid vision of your future self. This vision should be so compelling that it drives your actions. Visualize, believe, and then act.

And remember, it’s okay to start small. If you’re not yet ready to act, begin by daydreaming. Let your visions be vibrant and alive. Then, when you’re ready, take that first small step toward your envisioned self.

As you embark on your journey towards clarity, purpose, and transformation, remember that you don’t have to go it alone.
