Stop using the wrong tools
Your pain point is that you’re exhausted even though you’re “doing the work”.
You’ve made progress, but it’s not sticking, not consistent, or just doesn’t “fit” in your life the way it does with others.
A lot of the time it’s because we’re using a hammer to tune a piano; or using a fork to eat soup.
We’ve got all the tools, and a hefty handbag of self awareness, so why the f**k do I feel like I’m back at square one?
Whether it’s another turning of the wheel, a pass of the 0/9 point, a completion of the major arcana of the tarot, sometimes something hasn’t clicked right in order for us to take that next step we know is coming. Kairos time, baby. “All in good time”.
A lot of the time it’s because we’ve got our centres of consciousness all messed up.
On a film set, you wouldn’t have the catering department be in charge of assistant directing. They’re both competent in their own roles but put them in the other’s role, and it stops working. It might cause even more chaos.
In our journeys, you see this when the inner child has had a whale of a time getting her needs met once we’ve broken through the surface, but then she’s calling all the shots, and we’re recognising it’s not healthy nor conducive in the long run to eat cake everyday, for every meal (which is what the inner child wants), but rather a higher form of love is taking care of it by giving it what it needs to properly function.
Healthy food, sunlight, movement, expression, connection, all can be had but needs to be given through delayed gratification, consistent actions, discipline, the gross boring stuff.
The maturation of the ego and the soul is a complex and simultaneously simple dance between remembering and forgetting. And how that happens can be through recognising who’s running the show? Who’s directing it? Producing it? Catering it? Acting in it? (Pssst, surprise, it’s all you).
And so if we go by the brilliant musings of Ram Dass, “if everything I ever need is inside of me, then the journey is not about seeking, but remembering”.
And so there it is, the practice of remembering when we’re hard wired to forget.

Sometimes it’s not about learning something new, but recognising what we already know and reorganising it in a way that’s helpful, supportive, and conducive to the production.
Learn the right tool for the right process. Don’t allow the inner child to make all the decisions, because you wouldn’t let your toddler run your household, would you?
