Feeling Stuck or Flat? 10 Ways to Lift Your Energy and Find Clarity
We all experience moments of feeling blocked, stuck, or uninspired. For those of us who are used to achieving and ticking boxes, these feelings can feel frustrating and even overwhelming. If you’re facing decisions, navigating uncertainty, or simply need a boost, there are ways to shift your energy and regain clarity.
Here are ten strategies to help you lift your energy and approach life’s impasses with a fresh perspective.
1. Open Yourself to Flow and Spontaneity
Rigid routines can sometimes limit creativity and inspiration. Clear your calendar of non-essential tasks, step away from your “to-dos,” and make space for spontaneity. Allowing yourself to explore unplanned opportunities can open the door to adventure, new perspectives, and unexpected joy.
2. Do Something Fun and Change Your Concept of Self
Break out of your mold and challenge your comfort zone. Say “yes” to something new—whether it’s a hobby you’ve always wanted to try, a class, or simply a fun activity with no specific goal. Engaging in fresh experiences can spark creativity and shift your mindset.
3. Reconnect with Nature
Nature has an incredible ability to restore balance. Whether it’s walking in a forest, sitting by the ocean, or hiking in the mountains, spending time in natural surroundings can clear mental clutter, uplift your spirit, and help you reconnect with stillness.
4. Move Your Body
Exercise isn’t just good for your physical health—it also helps clear stagnant energy and release endorphins, lifting your mood. Whether it’s yoga, a brisk walk, or a dance session, moving your body can make a world of difference.
5. Practice Meditation
Meditation creates space for calm and clarity. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can center your mind and reset your energy. For a simple practice, focus on your breath: inhale for a count of three and exhale for a count of six. Visualise breathing in life-giving oxygen from the trees and exhaling gratitude in return.
6. Try Energy Healing
As multidimensional beings, our energy centers—like chakras, meridians, and the aura—can become clogged over time. Energy healing practices can help release stuck emotions and restore balance, opening you up to greater clarity and vitality.
7. Explore Mantras and Chanting
The repetition of sacred sounds can transform your vibration. Sanskrit mantras, such as Oṁ Gaṁ Gaṇapataye Namaḥ, are designed to clear obstacles and create stability. Chanting or listening to mantras can bring calmness to your mind, reduce stress, and support spiritual growth.
There are many mantras, invoked at different times for connecting with different energies. The chant, Oṁ Gaṁ Gaṇapataye Namaḥ, invokes the qualities of energy associated with Hindu deity Gaṇeśa – to clear the obstacles that might present themselves on our path. It is also the energy associated with the Mūlādhāra chakra – of stability, foundations, new ventures, and moving beyond duality, to touch on a few other aspects. I play this in my home space, and chant this at specific times when I feel I need extra assistance to move through a particular challenge. You can listen to a sample of it on the Mantra album.
8. Sound Yoga (Nāda Yoga) Guided Practice
The vibrational power of sound-based practices offers a range of health benefits, particularly through stimulating the vagus nerve. This gentle activation supports anxiety relief, eases pain, and uplifts mood by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system. As a result, your body releases feel-good chemicals like oxytocin, nitric oxide, dopamine, and endorphins, helping you feel balanced and revitalised.
9. Follow What Brings You Joy
One of the simplest yet most profound pieces of advice is to do what brings you joy. Start small and follow the breadcrumb trail of things that light you up—you may be surprised at where they lead.
10. Seek Guidance When Needed
If you need support navigating these practices or exploring meditation, energy healing, healing traumatic memories, mantra or sound yoga work, don’t hesitate to reach out. Sometimes, having a guide can make all the difference in finding your way forward. I have a range of guided self-paced courses and guided meditations to support your transformation and elevate your energy and spirits.
Final Thoughts
Feeling stuck doesn’t have to last forever. By embracing new experiences, reconnecting with nature, moving your body, or exploring practices like meditation and chanting, you can transform your energy and perspective.
Remember, every small step you take toward joy and clarity can lead to profound change.
