A short monologue (from March 17, 2021) by Renee Lenore Oswald on the Awaken Podcast (episode #88) about feeling stuck and how taking a single small step — a "baby step" — can shift momentum and lead to desired change. The speaker emphasizes that the mind can both keep us stuck and propel us forward; action, even tiny, counters inertia.
Sometimes we feel stuck. And sometimes it's just a matter of hearing one thing. Saying one thing, hearing that one word. Sometimes it's just a matter of taking one step in one direction. One baby step in one direction. That can change everything. So I think the part about being stuck is just take the step, just move forward. Just take one little baby step here, one little baby step there, and before you know it, it's like the changes that you want will really happen. Because as much as what our minds are powerful to keep us stuck, our minds are powerful enough to move us forward, too.
