Feeling STUCK can be so uncomfortable.\xa0 You're in a place in life or in your mind where you don't want to be and just can't seem to get out.\xa0 It's sticky and stuffy and frustrating.\xa0 Unfortunately being stuck is one of those inevitable situations that we will find ourselves in from time to time.\xa0 Just like fear or self-doubt.\xa0 What we can do with this feeling is to bring awareness to what it's telling us and find a way to release that stagnant energy.\xa0 In other words find ways to get UNSTUCK.\xa0\xa0
In bringing awareness to the feeling, figure out how it feels.\xa0 Does it feel dull, listless, unmotivated (what\xa0 label as stuck in a funk); or does it feel like you're spinning your wheels but you're trapped (stuck in a rut).\xa0 Our natural tendency is to push harder toward what we want when we're stuck so we go out to paint nights, cooking classes.....and fervently chase inspiration or the next creative breakthrough.\xa0 At times, that's exactly what we need and then voila! we regain our freedom.\xa0 But if you've tried it all and it's still not working, then it means that you need something else.\xa0 That something else is that you're tired and need to listen to the ongoing lesson of taking PAUSE.\xa0\xa0
That brings me to the second part where we find ways to release the stagnant energy.\xa0 Pause, breathe and connect back to what's been disconnected.\xa0 Listen in for a 5 minute pranayama (breathing) exercise to help shift your energy and get you on your way to getting unstuck!
