Ready to Change your relationship with Stuck??
I want to help you change your relationship with the feeling of being stuck!! I learned this from the wonderful life coach Martha Beck in her recent podcast with Mel Robbins.
What if being stuck could be more productive: an opportunity to dive deeper into your divine sparkle?
Let me explain the brain science behind it.
So when you have a really big need or desire and you feel stuck on what to do and you feel yourself bumping up against your brain and your thoughts, this is an impasse. often when you are at this impasse you think, "Oh my gosh, this stuck feeling is a BIG problem." And you tell yourself I don't know what to do about it. And so you stay in that stuck energy and don't take any action to change things because you are confirming to your brain that it's true. And so you just stay more stuck.
But what if instead your brain is actually telling you that, "oh my gosh I'm so excited because this impasse means that we are getting ready to dive deep into transformation. So embrace this feeling of stuck because I am going to give you a huge leap forward and will show you things that will blow your mind."
So let's do that. I want you to embrace this stuck energy. Swim towards it. Where is it in your body? Notice it. What emotion is associated with this stuck feeling—anger, sadness or fear? What color or shape is this emotion? Put your hand on the spot and just get down in the mud with it and just feel it. Let it get super big inside you. Like a huge wave that feels like it’s going to consume you. Invite it to come and sit down with you. Welcome it in.
Now after you have really felt and allowed space for this emotion, get up and do something active to change your state. Go on a walk, or dance, or do some art or anything that shifts you out of that a space. And watch your brain come up with innovative and creative ideas that you hadn’t even considered.
And what happens is that when you relax into it is you're no longer resisting the lesson that is coming from your emotion. And it frees the emotion up to flow out of your body. And it creates space for the new ideas and solutions to present themselves.
Everything you want is on the other side of the emotion you are trying to avoid.. Once you can move through it you open up endless possibilities for growth and change.
This is a powerful process and the more you practice it, the better you will become at doing it.
It has been life changing for me.
