Accepting and overcoming plateaus

Accepting and overcoming plateaus

Apr 29, 2025

I’m almost in a panic, a sort of fear of not knowing what to write about. But I accept it. It’s part of the journey to experience plateaus once in a while. And I do know that this is only part of the ego and what I might perceive as a pause in progress; it is still within the progress and it is the formation, emerging something new I am not aware of yet.
I didn’t write about this yesterday, but the night before that, before I went to sleep, I read a great chunk of a great article by Dan Koe when he discussed the deployment of the subconscious by not focusing on what you want a solution to or the things you want progress in. And the way to initiate this process is doing something seemingly irrelevant, like going for a walk and just relaxing. Or going for a run. When you just leave your mind to work things out by itself for you without conscious or intellectual intervention. And as I experienced many times before and also yesterday, that new thoughts and ideas do emerge when I’m running or when I’m in the shower, what he specifically mentioned too.
And at the same time, I know that I want my focus on finishing the conscious dance course and then planning and organising my own event, so that’s what I will do next in the morning. This could be a reason why I don’t have much to write about at the very moment. I am more in an absorbing, receiving stage than in a creating stage. And certainly reading is a direct and powerful way to get inspiration while it also has a meditative quality.
As I am writing, the little kittens woke up next to me in their cosy box, and observing them as they play is pure joy and probably also an opportunity in some extent to let go of the overthinking mind. Anyway, here I am, still managed to write a page in my journal even though part of it was about the momentary lack of inspiration.
