When we get too hung up on taking the right decision—whether that’s because we’re afraid of failure, or the stakes are too high—we can get into an analysis paralysis. The fear of doing the wrong thing locks us into a perpetual swing of back and forth, back and forth, back and forth—we sway from one to the other, repeatedly, yet we remain static.
And when we do, the frustration tends to build up quickly, and the more it does the more locked in we become. We become motionless because we optimise for the quality of expression which becomes the obstacle to expression.
Motionlessness compounds quickly because life optimises for expression over non-expression. Life is insatiably creative. Life favours motion, expression and movement. Life is energy. And if we remain motionless, if we get sucked into a routine that’s weighing us down, or we vibrate on a frequency lower than our natural resonance, we suffer because we’re blocking life’s flow.
