You Need to Feel Stuck to Get Unstuck
Orientation Series # 3: How accepting stillness can help you find your next step
In the last part of the series, we explored acceptance and the quiet power of taking things as they are. But what comes after? What happens once you’ve stopped resisting, but still don’t know where to head next?
When you’ve identified that feeling of being lost within yourself, the urge to escape it can be strong. Stuckness can feel overwhelming. But instead of seeing it as something purely negative, try to view it as a part of your process. You’ve already taken the first step—pausing to reorient yourself. Feeling overwhelmed, scared, confused, or exhausted is all part of that. It means something is shifting.
It only takes a small spark to ignite a fire—just one flicker of energy to get things moving. All you have to do is stay open. Open-minded, open-eyed. Ready to notice the shift.
