Stalled Progress?

[ricdaw]

What do you do when you think you've stalled, in terms of your progress?

I either assume it is not yet time to progress (other things need to happen first) or that rest is necessary (okay, please poke me with a coincidence or something when I need to start paying attention again).

Or, I add to my meditations a calling for "movement."  No particular way or kind, just movement.  I generally visualize the stars; each representing an outcome or event.  Then I pick one at random and "pull" to to me.  Maybe lasso it and tug.  Whatever.  Then I repeat the star exercise again at the next meditation.  Eventually things get unstuck.

Hmm.  I guess my "either" is actually "I do one of these three things."
