Today’s Find Your Flow message is about what to do when worry leaves you feeling stuck.

When you’re uncertain about something, your mind immediately begins searching for answers. The desire to know everything takes over and can feel insatiable. When an unknown thought comes in it can feel scarier then we sometimes like to admit, so our grip tightens around what we can control and we often go into a state of breakdown or management. 

What if this happens? What if I made the wrong decision? What if I don’t know what to do next? What can keep me comfortable? 

You may believe that if you think about it long enough, you’ll eventually find the certainty you’re craving. 

Instead, you may become overwhelmed, paralyzed, or afraid to move forward.

Even if you’re not feeling lost or stuck in a huge transition, we all have places worth exploring. We all have variations of feeling stuck that need some upgrading. 

For me, this practice below is just as much of a useful cleansing practice as something to turn to when you really need it. 

The more you prepare who you are in the small moments, the more ease you can return to in the big ones. 

Practice:

1. Take a deep breath.
You do not have to figure out your entire future in this moment. Begin by noticing what is happening inside you. 

2. Break down the thoughts, emotions, and fears instead of trying to rush past them or force yourself into action. 

Allow yourself a short dedicated amount of time to feel each emotion. To be with each thought. 

Journal, speak to someone, choose one of our active meditations—allow your nervous system time to settle. 

Then, rather than continuing to focus on everything you’re worried about or don’t want, 

3. Redirect your attention toward what you would love. What you’re grateful for in this moment? 

You forget about being in flow, connecting, allowing, trusting the process and allowing your spiritual truth come through when you feel stuck. 

Here are some helpful reminders: 

• You’re exactly where you need to be. 
• You do have all that you need. 
• It’s ok if this is a process. 
• I’m safe being in discomfort.
• Any emotion felt fully doesn’t last even a few minutes without shifting. 
• I always attract what I need
• It’s ok to ask for help

Life rarely moves directly from point A to point Z. You move forward and gain more information. Sometimes that clarifying and creates uncertainty at the same time. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Allowing yourself to pay attention, process, take your time will help you gain new perspectives. 

Remember, anything new or big will require a new version of you to show up. You may not quite have the full capacity yet and you’re projecting forward from your past. 

My invitation to you is to move from your future self. To trust yourself. To keep moving forward in discomfort with awareness and space. 

I know with a big change coming up, I’m using these reminders daily to resettle. To continue moving forward while allowing myself space to be in the unknown. 

Sometimes, what you want to know can only be revealed through lived experience. You may need to make a decision, take a step, and allow life to give you more information. You don’t need to know everything about the future before you begin.

Each time you give yourself space to stop, listen, and process what you are feeling, more becomes available to you. 

Your capacity expands. New insight comes through. Possibility begins to replace fear, and you can find your way back into flow.

Ease doesn’t come from ignoring what you feel or demanding an immediate answer. It comes when you stop and pay attention.

If you’re feeling stuck today, take a moment to journal and ask yourself:

• What thoughts do I keep repeating in my mind?
• What emotions am I feeling?
• What am I afraid might happen?
• What does my body need in order to feel supported?
• What would I love?
• How can I experience joy, presence, or gratitude today?
• What is one next step I trust myself to take?

You don’t have to know the entire path. Trust yourself enough to tend to what needs your attention now and allow the next step to reveal itself from there.

With love,
