Feeling Stuck
I recently ran a one hour workshop on Finding our Purpose and Navigating out of Stuck-ness. In this workshop I shared three reasons why we feel stuck and how to navigate ourselves through it.
If we think about what is playing out in the world currently, we can see a similar pattern occurring. Humanity is in a place of stuckness - we were literally put into a lockdown and countries everywhere are scrambling to find a way back to ‘normal’. Yet, it is only with awareness, i.e. understanding the purpose of being stuck, where we are able to take transformative action. Stuckness is an opportunity to move from an old way of being to a new way - there is no going back to what was when you move through stuckness. This is often felt as the dark night of the soul.
One of the reasons we find our place in stuck-ville is because we have outgrown our current form. Who we have been, has transformed so much that we no longer fit into what was our usual lifestyle. We struggle to relate to our intimate partner, our close friends no longer get us and our jobs no longer give us the satisfaction we once had. With outgrowth, our soul is compelling us to move toward the next step in our human journey, leading us toward our soul’s intended purpose.
Equally, the human collective has also outgrown it’s old consciousness. And as the new consciousness begins to pour into our awareness in subtle and non-subtle ways, we face the uncomfortable process of letting go of the old and welcoming in the new. Hence why there is so much turbulence. When we don’t know what the new is, we scramble to hold on to the old - trying to hang on to the old will become more and more uncomfortable, this we feel stuck.
When we have outgrown our form or our consciousness, there is only one thing we need to do. We allow ourselves to make a conscious choice to take that next step toward that new form (even when we don’t know what it is) and to learn how to let go of the old. That next step will be felt as scary, risky, uncomfortable and even like death. You’ve got this, this is why you came here in the lifetime!
