What should I be focusing on right now and Yi's answer, 5 to 19

[Kayleighcakes22]

Hello!
I asked the i ching what I should be focusing on right now. It feels like I've been I'm standstill for the last 3 years since birthing my son and haven't been able to successfully start any work related projects. Intuitively I was feeling to take this year off of trying to make anything happen and focus on creative writing and having fun. There is no rush for me to get back to work but I feel like I'm supposed to be doing something impactful with my time and so feel an inner pressure. Like being a mum isn't enough lol. Can anyone share more insights on what the I ching is recommending I do? Thank you

5.3 seems to be describing your feeling of being stuck while wanting to make a start, while 5.5 advises you to enjoy yourself a bit more while waiting for something to happen. Go out, meet friends, invite people over maybe? This possibly could bring on some movement or inspiration or new contacts, that when established you'll might need to use advice of 19 - either approach someone or let yourself be approached to not miss out on some new opportunities.

Needing through Approaching

Yi seems to be advising you to focus on you and your deep needs right now. In 5, it advocates that you eat and drink the things that nourish you most so that soon your world will seem as though you are feasting on joy.
19 holds a hope that a new vision for your life is on the horizon and all you have to do is to focus on this and take a few small steps towards it.

Good Luck
