A RENEWED PERSPECTIVE ON FEELING ‘STUCK’

Is feeling ‘stuck’ not about being stuck at all, but about replenishing vital energy before we move into the next phase of a cycle?

The Universe is in a perpetual flow of interaction and change. This means ‘stuckness’ is the antithesis of change, and perhaps we have mistaken what seemingly appears to be non-action or inaction as something that is essential in the process of change.

In a society where we only value specific phases or seasons— such as growth phases, and harvest phases— it means when we call every other seasons of a cycle “stuckness”, it reveals just how extractive our mindset really is.

Change and shifts take an enormous amount of stored energy to materialize. Stillness is necessary before effective, enduring spells are cast. Have you ever stopped to consider why menstruators are so tired right before the start of their flow, why lunar/solar eclipses can affect our energy levels, why there’s often a calm before a storm? These are all examples that can be misinterpreted as “stuckness” when in fact these are the moments before we shift gears.  

Remember just because it’s Spring, it doesn’t mean all parts of your life is in visible motion!
