The Deserted Island: Survival When Feeling Stranded

When we venture into a great idea, it can really take us places. Sometimes, we can find ourselves in places we never expected. Those places can either feel mysterious and exciting, or they can feel isolating and like dead ends. When the latter happens to us, we may experience sensations of hopelessness, feeling lost, paralyzed, trapped, stranded, stuck, or even marooned (as if on a far off island, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by harsh landscape and impassable seas, where we had no intention of going, but where we must, at all costs, figure out how to survive and find our way back again.)
