Are You Just Spinning Your Wheels or Are You Going Somewhere?
Feeling like you’re just spinning your wheels can be frustrating and infuriating.
Ever have that feeling that you’re in motion, but not going anywhere?
It’s akin to a car being stuck in the mud, on sand, or on ice. Your tires spin and spin and spin — but you don’t move.
Sometimes, you do move — just really, really, slowly. Too slowly to feel like any movement is occurring.
That’s a feeling I think many of us deal with from time to time. Despite all our efforts, the work we do, the energy we put into it — we don’t see any movement.
Is it any wonder that it makes it feel like you’re just spinning your wheels?
I can commiserate. In 2020 and 2021 I published 9 novels total. Beyond those 9 novels, I wrote and published at least 260 blogs each year — more than 520 blogs total. Despite having 1200+ followers on Medium and 11 published novels on Amazon — I am not earning the kind of money I should be.
Despite all the work I put into walking this path of my choosing — it frequently feels like I might just be spinning my wheels.
To assess this properly — applied mindfulness is necessary.
