Feeling Stuck? The Real Reason You Can’t Move Forward (and How to Break the Cycle)

For the woman with big dreams, a tender heart, and a God-given calling that won’t leave her alone.

You’ve got a million ideas.

A vision board that could double as a life plan.

And a heart full of “I know I’m meant for more.”

So why do you find yourself scrolling, stalling, second-guessing… and then feeling guilty for not doing more?

Let me say this loud and clear:

You’re not lazy. You’re looping. And God didn’t bring you this far to sit in cycles He already freed you from.”

The Reality Loop: Why You Feel Stuck (and Keep Proving Yourself Right)

Let’s break it down:

Thought → Feeling → Action → Repeat

It usually starts with a quiet but heavy thought like:

“I don’t know how to grow my business.”

→ Feel discouraged or inadequate

→ Avoid action or binge someone else’s content for hours

→ Stay stuck

→ Feel even more behind

→ Repeat

Or:

“I don’t have what it takes to be seen.”

→ Feel exposed or insecure

→ Go silent on social media or hide behind planning

→ Feel invisible

→ Think “See? No one’s listening anyway.”

→ Repeat

This loop keeps you locked in a false sense of safety — because even though it’s uncomfortable, it’s familiar. And your brain loves familiar, even when it costs you your calling.

It’s Not a Discipline Issue — It’s a Pattern of Protection

Your brain and nervous system are just doing what they’ve always done: trying to keep you safe.

But safety isn’t the same as freedom.

And God didn’t call you to a life of comfort and hiding. He called you to boldness, clarity, and movement — even if it starts small.

Breaking the Loop Starts with Gentle Awareness

This isn’t about forcing your way out.

It’s about seeing the pattern of feeling stuck — and choosing something new.

Ask yourself:

• What thought keeps whispering in my mind lately?

• What emotion always seems to follow?

• What action (or avoidance) is my go-to?

• What truth might God be inviting me to believe instead?

  
  

Maybe the first miracle isn’t a massive breakthrough.

Maybe it’s just the awareness that you don’t have to stay stuck anymore.

Real Talk (and a Reminder)

You weren’t meant to live your life in a loop.

You were meant to lead, to rise, to reflect God’s goodness and glory through your story.

Your hesitation doesn’t disqualify you.

And your calling is not cancelled just because you’re in a slower season.

Sometimes, God lets us sit in stillness long enough to recognize the loop, so we don’t repeat it when we rise.

Coming soon: I’m creating a simple, soul-first reset ritual to help you break out of the loop, reconnect with your emotional clarity, and start making real-life power moves — the kind that align with the woman you’re becoming. You won’t need to hustle. You’ll need to align with the emotions that lead you forward — not the ones that hold you back. Stay tuned 💫
