Most extreme version of this is all me hee-hawing and huffawing for 30m before I actually sit down to write the email — something is happening there: emotional digestion. It’s not trivial, and counting it as so is only going to leave you confused . . . https://t.co/jtPVpeNOjt

“A problem well-stated is half-solved.” A lot of your work will be standing up and clarifying what it is precisely you need to do. Once it clicks, it’s effortless, isn’t it? Make standing up, noticing stuckness, and unblocking yourself kindly routine. https://t.co/XBJ9LIml8I
with 💁♀️ the teacher who, if the child doesn’t get it, consider it their response-ability, they can do something about it, and they try a different way, till it works, notice the stuckness and put it a different way, till for the child it clicks.
Update: I’m getting a LOT better at 1. Notice I’m trying to do something—write an email, essay—and I freeze 🥶 2. Panic and flail for a bit 😖😣 3. Self-dating instincts kick in . . . If I was my gf and saw her freaking out, I’d totally know what to do 😳 https://t.co/yDVpGM50G9
*mental hug* “This obviously isn’t working out. Wanna take a walk and tell me what you’re trying to do?” > YES. “Ok, what do you want them to know?” > I want them to know that . . . XXX “Ok! Why don’t we write that?” > :) “:)” > :) “:)” https://t.co/7pgTVwdK2G
@Malcolm_Ocean @simiansunny I find this patterns happens a lot. Mentee: “I don’t know how to phrase this.” Me: “What do you want to say to them?” Mentee: “I want to tell them {X} & {Y}.” Me: “Why don’t you say that exactly how you just told me?” Mentee: “ . . . oh”
Soooo much less violent of a time. I had one of the worst weeks of my entire life, frozen, panicked, and self-tormenting myself in my room for a week. Last week, I didn’t, because I had friends helping me co-write and co-life. https://t.co/yWFwJKxDh1
Fundamentally, this is about noticing the “stuckness” and the gear-grinding. The gears aren’t spinning. This already is 🤷♂️ https://t.co/Jh80yyZ6uU
You can try applying more force . . . it’s probably how you got through your life . . . but it doesn’t feel very fun, and leaves your gears cammed out / burned out. It can take time to heal from that. https://t.co/upn1B2tnLD https://t.co/SdeQpixhNy
Marras nails it with clarity. Being stuck, almost fundamentally, is about not knowing the next clear thing. https://t.co/hwUXjKAGPU
