I am not a fan of loose ends. And it's easy for me to over-think a problem trying to solve it so I can tie up the end. I chew on it like a dog and his bone. But there comes a point at which I have to stop; where my fretting is actually working against me, and I become further from a solution than ever by trying too hard to figure one out.
I have to free up the energy around the situation by turning my attention elsewhere. I have to let the problem breathe, and then return to it fresh. The answer always comes, but not by my insisting upon it- more often by my absolute willingness to let it go.
I cannot get what I want by grabbing for it. I have to sit back and call it gently to me. I have to let it come of its own accord.
