#gettingunstuck

What does it mean to feel stuck? When we feel stagnant sad low going through the motions hum drum....thats feeling stuck.

I felt stuck for 10 years. I was at a job that was draining me, non productive, no challange, it was a job where anyone could do, i didnt feel as if I was making a difference. I sat at a desk for 23 years accomadating atorneys. I answered phones, I served coffee bagels ordered limos and booked meeting rooms. It was tedious boring and my day started feeling tired and just really shitty, not to mention the commute that at times took an hour and 30 minutes to get there.

The people were good to me the pay was good, but some people were arrogant pompus and fake. I did not feel I belonged. I had only for 10 years a high vibration there the last 13 years were not healthy for me.

I got laid off and collected unemployment. I taught yoga everyday for free for months during Covid. I loved it. I walked I was feeling good. I meditated and I told myself I will get a job in Brooklyn close to home and where I laugh a lot and feel lifted.

2 weeks before unemployment was going to run out...I got a job post sent to me, it was sent from the girl I was teaching yoga for. I sent myresume to the girl who posted the job. It was for a doctors office. I went in, long story short, felt comfortable and was hired on the spot.

I am there a year now. I laugh every day, I feel at home, I feel valued, I help people,I am an asset. I am busy, I move, I love the women I work with.

I was fortunate but I also feel my attitude of not feeling bad and taking free time to hlp others put me here. I taught yoga for free for months during Covid. I enjoyed it I was serving other people.

Eventually I charged still..I was putting out such good positive caring energy.

The universe provided for me..it can for you as well.

Its not easy to stay positive when you feel ill and you are inphysical pain, I know this. If you are suffering and battling an illness or pain...you msut do what you need to do to release your pain.

I would say rest, drinkw ater, meditate and pray. Eat better foods that nurish you like vegetables fruits not anything fatty dairy or fried or processed. You have to start there.

Tell yourself I am healed I am well I am safe.Everyday all day long.

Our perusal through the data of our life launches desires and then we instantaniously become what we think about.

If you think you are stuck and you constantly lament about the past , maybe about regerts, about what went wrong and who did you wrong....think about this..is it making anything better??

All of the shoulda woulda couldas, has it made anything better? Does it make you feel good? If not...step back when you go there to that place of feeling bad, step back and make a shift.

If you constantly think about the sadness the regrets and the negative mind state keeps taking over your brain... then the universe will just react to those words and thoughts.

Try telling yourself...I want to feel good and unstuck...I am on my way...I am on a journey of healing...I am getting unstuck everyday step by step its getting better and better.

Affirmations work. Keep tleling yourself I want to feel great or I feel good I have so many blessings. COunting your blessings changes things. Prayer meditation taking a long walk...solitude...gardening...singing....these activities place you in a high vibration.

What do you enjoy? Doing what makes you feel good and appreciating it and feeling thankful and grateful for it will change things.

Before you think another thought...step back and positive affirmations changes everything.

Getting Unstuck Day 5 project, jumping and flying 

 Creativity: 

 I wanted to use a gif, as I learned how from another scratcher recently to import a gif to make an animated sprite. I also wanted to make more of a game-type project, with a score and a clear end-point. Often, the sprites I use depend on what I can find through Google Image Search :-/ So, NyanCat flies through space! 

Production: 

Lots of sprites, each with animation. It was fun and easy to make a sprite blink quickly between two or three costumes to give them more interest. Getting the objects flying through space at an appropriate speed and spaced out enough was also difficult. I feel I could still improve that aspect of the game. In addition, I did manage to make NyanCat react every time it got hit, but I wasn't quite sure how to use the "Touching sprite" sensor in such a way as to only react once, rather than continuously as the two sprites passed over each other. I ended up putting "Wait" blocks in my "If touching" blocks, but as always, I wonder if there isn't a more elegant way of doing this.

Getting Unstuck Day 4 Costumes

Creativity: 

Changing a Sprite's appearance reminded me of an Alice in Wonderland scenario, where she grows bigger or smaller based on what she eats. My froggo friend is Alice, but I also wanted to play with another character changing costumes, as well as changing the background in response to events in the script. 

 Production: 

Used a lot of "broadcast message" blocks to coordinate the activity between all the different sprites. I also realized that if I wanted to run two parallel sequences (like talking and moving) that I could create two scripts that each start with the same event (green flag, or message) and that they would run at the same time. No more fiddling around with wait blocks.

Getting Unstuck Day 3 Notes 

 Quickie remix of my own project, adding a piano note every time a flower is produced. The tone of the note is determined by the same variable as the size of the flower (between about 100 and 25). Had to round the variable, as tones in between whole numbers were not super pretty.

I also had another, more involved project, that involved playing all sorts of different instruments. However, that one disappeared (!) when Flash crashed on my computer. Turns out Scratch doesn't autosave! Oops!

Getting Unstuck Day 2 Flowers 

Creativity: 

 I realized right away that if you kept clicking and adding more flowers, the screen would get really full so that there would have to be some way for the flowers to disappear or be removed. I decided that their petals would fall to the ground before they faded away. 

 Production: 

 Fairly straightforward with a bit of testing and iteration. Drawing the flowers with Scratch's drawing tools was not that difficult. I did run into a bug where the flowers wouldn't change colour each time I clicked, because I put the code for that inside the "When a clone is created" block, rather than before the creation of the clone. That means each clone started at the first colour and only changed colour once, so they all ended up at the same colour. Additionally, I had some trouble working out the code to make the size of the flower depend on the y-position of the mouse when clicked. I did have to use my math skills on that one to figure out how to make the size a function of the y-position.
