A Barely Move happens at a very low energy level if it happens at all.

Barely Move Makers

BarelyMove1Barely Move makers have the energy of a couch potato with a give-up, hopeless, resigned orientation to life. They may be working, but not in a rich way. They’re just getting by, punching in and punching out. These are the chronic watchers of reality TV, the obsessive fans of spectator sports, because Barely Move makers have given up on themselves and are living through the challenges and accomplishments of other people.

Barely Move makers justify staying immobile or stuck, by thinking thoughts like, I just don’t have the energy. I will only mess up if I try. Maybe if I just sit here someone else will do it for me. I don’t know how!

Barely Move makers are great spectators because they keep their focus on others, outside of themselves. They are caught in the fear of moving on their own behalf and usually have grave doubts about their own deserved-ness. All of us have moments when we default to a Barely Move mentality and it is a powerful time to notice how numbing and clutching our internal voices of fear and doubt (Inner Critters) can be.
