My anxiety is keeping me stuck. My fear of change is keeping me stuck. I want to face my fears and move to the other side of them. I don't want to be stuck anymore!
So, now that I'm facing them, I'm even more anxious, but hopefully once I get through the change, I'll be okay.
I don't want to be stuck anymore.

I completely understand! It is so hard to face "me" and has caused me to be more anxious and because I'm being aware, I am able to see what I was doing to myself and then I became more anxious because I know what I was doing. Circular thinking!
I've also slipped into victim thinking, why me? Why do I do this to myself? And on and on...focusing on the lack...what I don't have, what I don't want to be.
Something that has helped me is the 6 steps. Acknowledge that I'm feeling anxious and am in circular thinking. I accept myself where I am and that helps me not to resist. Tell myself it's ok because its a bad habit and I'm working on myself and getting better. I've also stated what I want be. I'm strong, I'm independent, I'm stable, etc.
When I was in the stuck stage, I never felt like it would end. It does and you too will move past it.
