Dear Clarity friends

I've had a bad day today. It started with lack of sleep (3 hours, couldn't go back to sleep when I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night). Went to work and so far a chain of events have happened, perhaps not so serious, but it has been one of these days, you know, when every little thing goes wrong. I have been edgy and exhausted.

The thing is that I've been edgy and exhausted for some time now. I have problems in every single area of my life. OK, nothing tragic is going on but, to give an example, I've been very stressed at work lately because of the amount of work that has been loaded on my shoulders and the whole work environment, which is not conducive to getting a job well done. There are loads of things that I have to do at work that I don't have the time or the energy to do and that I leave for the next day, and then the next day and so on. Outside of work, there are things I have to do that I don't have the energy to do (sometimes not even the time) and that I leave for the following day and you know how the story goes. I mean I don't even bother to do some practical things to get some money I'm being owed from different sources. In the last few days even my house is in complete disorder.

It's not only work; it's everything. I feel that my whole life is in disarray. And today I feel this even more. I realize that lack of sleep has made me edgier than usual but this is a situation that cannot go on (a 28 situation?). So I briefly stated the situation to the Yi, not posing any specific question. And I got hex 11.1,4,5,6 > 44.

I have to admit that I haven't made much effort to understand the answer in some depth. My understanding is that an 11 situation is what I should be aiming to achieve, perhaps some kind of harmony or equilibrium which is now lacking (I'd like to think the answer leans towards the predictive but I think, in this case, the Yi is making clear to me what my aim should be and how to achieve it). Then it gives specific advice to help clarify the situation.

There are too many moving lines and I tend to look at every single changing line, no matter how many I get. I'll have to do the work to understand what the Yi is telling me about the specifics of the situation with each moving line. As for line 6, I've had a stark experience with this line once, and I would like to think that this line is just describing what happened today or what happens from time to time, when things go wrong and you can't really to anything to stop this chain of events.

The reason I'm asking for some help here is that I have the feeling that the Image of hex 11 is what will be particularly helpful to me now in order to start creating some order out of this mess. I'd probably get most things back in line sooner or later anyway, but why diss the lovely advice when it is there staring me in the eye?

So I'd appreciate any thoughts on how the Image especially applies to combating chaos or disarray in one's life. Where do I start, or how do I go about it?

Sorry for the long post.

You are letting your negative thoughts take control of your life, if you believe that you are a downer, then it will only get worse. Your negativity is now popping up in every aspect of your life, its even disturbing your sleep.

So, you need to put a stop to all this, I can't do this or that as I have no time. You need to reorganize, use self control, and make time. If you are in a happy mood work gets done easily and quickly.

Yes, it is also about negativity, isn't it? I don't feel like this every day, and I know sorely well what sleep deprivation can do to your nerves. I know that I won't probably be feeling that things are so chaotic tomorrow but my 'to-do-list' is piling up dangerously and I know I have to do something about it. But negativity gets in the way. So hard to get into a happy mood and set to work sometimes.

I would say "spot on", Willowfox. I posed a couple of additional questions to the Yi about this matter and although I'd rather have studied the answers before posting them here and then asked for help... well, since I've started the ball rolling, here they are:

Still frustrated, I asked something like, "Is it my fault? It must be, at least in part, but why can't things go well for once even if I do something wrong? What the hell?" (Guess I was thinking, why not have some luck with some issues anyway). And I got 58.1 > 47. I've only received hex 58 once I think so I'm not really familiar with it. But I think the line must describe the kind of mood that I should characterize every action or attitude of mine in a consistent way. Not sure about it though. I have to study it.

And then I went on to ask, "What can I do to get/be in a happy/joyous/optimistic mood, the right kind of attitude"? I got 64.5 > 6. I've only had the time to read Wilhelm's rendering of the line but I think there's a "thread" here and, perhaps, a pat on the back. Something like, keep going, keep trying to achieve this and know that things will be well afterwards. As for the details... again, I have to study. And I will do so but since I've started this thread, any insight would be welcome.

Thanks again Willowfox.

If you could only be content then that would certainly help get rid of your self inflicted negativity.

"What can I do to get/be in a happy/joyous/optimistic mood, the right kind of attitude"? I got 64.5 > 6.

You have to be firm in your belief that you can be happy, its all in your mind afterall, try and be positive, see only the bright side of life and when you hit a snag, don't try to bash it into non existence, stop and think what you are doing wrong, you need to make compromises not continuous conflict.

Yes, there's a clear pattern to the answers.
