Overwhelmed & Stuck In Business - 4 Ways To Get Moving Again

Running a business is a complex affair.

There's business design,

There's all kinds of functions,

Client relations,

Marketing,

Accounting,

Technical requirements and so much more.

It's an awful lot to engage with and to master and it's pretty overwhelming.

And on top of that,

There's the constant evolution.

We grow all the time.

And as we grow,

Our business evolves,

Or tries to,

Which gives us a groundhog day moment when we feel like we're starting all over again and again.

Or the constant drip of new insights showing you where you're going seems to be so big that you simply have no idea where to start,

Let alone how.

In either case,

You're stuck.

And working and living intuitively requires a lot of energy to move through you and when the stuckness descends,

Your system simply isn't capable of doing the job you need it to do.

Unable to move energy,

The feeling of stuckness and disconnection grows and you may feel like your intuition has switched off and you may doubt where you thought you were at,

Let alone where you're going to.

In these situations,

How can you make sense of what you're doing when you don't feel like you can do anything?

Well,

There are a few stages that you can work through to get moving again.

The first is to clear the energy.

Now,

You are doubtless busy clearing energy constantly,

But often the focus of this clearing needs to be very precise.

There will be old energy lurking somewhere,

Creating challenges,

Whether that's within you,

Within your business,

Or within its structures.

This old energy will be preventing the new from igniting all the parts of you that are needed in order to move forward.

New energy cannot move through you or your business,

And so it can't be integrated.

And unintegrated energy rattles around causing all kinds of discomfort.

So it's important to work through the layers of clearing to allow this energy to flow freely.

So the first is to clear your energy field,

Focusing on patterns and energies that need to move on and leave your field.

The second is to clear your business's energy field,

And the focus of that is to detach energies that impact how it's expressed and how it's received.

Now,

The energy field of your business is distinct from the energetic structures of your business.

Removing the attached energies that exist within your systems and structures is important to make sure that you are moving clean energy through clean structures.

And finally,

Declutter.

And I mean decluttering at both a practical and an energetic level.

Let go of what you don't need anymore or what is attached to an old identity for you and for your business.

Sometimes the stuff that you need to let go is really hard,

And it may take courage to let it go,

And it also may take time.

But decluttering is part of restructuring your energy and changing your makeup so that you can operate differently.

And it's a practical and energetic tool,

And you're going to know what you need to do and what you need to release if you give yourself the space to work on it.

So that's the first stage is to clear the energy.

The second stage is to manage your capacity.

And you need to realise that you aren't actually stuck.

You just feel that way.

What you may be,

Though,

Is operating under or over capacity.

And if you're under capacity,

You're going to feel frustrated.

If you're over capacity,

Then you're going to be feeling overwhelmed.

And neither is a good state.

Well,

You need to be aiming for a state of equilibrium where you can hold and sustain energy with ease.

So if you're operating under capacity,

Then you are feeling that the energy you're holding is a fraction of what you could manage right now.

So your solution there is to move energy through you by doing something practical that stretches you.

If you continue to operate in your old ways,

Then you aren't actually stretching yourself at all because you had the capacity to operate in that way.

If you are capable of moving more energy through you,

You need to stretch yourself a little bit.

So maybe that's something like speaking on a topic that you've previously balked at because you worried maybe what people might think.

Or maybe you've had a project on the back burner for a while because it was too out there.

That you can bring that forward now.

Or maybe you could connect with someone who really stretches you and challenges you to rise up.

There's always something going to be lurking in the sidelines asking to be seen and you know what that is.

So now's the time to take some action on it.

Now,

On the other hand,

If you're feeling over capacity,

You may have overextended your energy systems and activated some trauma which has caused you to contract again.

Now,

If that explanation feels right to you,

It's time to assess what those trauma patterns are.

Now,

Entrepreneurship creates a whole lot of trauma and it also triggers a lot.

So getting honest about how it's causing you challenges is really going to help you in the long term.

Give yourself the time to work on this.

It's necessary and it's going to support your future growth.

Do get help if you need it because navigating trauma is best done with support and there are lots of brilliant specialists out there.

Alternatively,

And this is very common,

You may have expanded your ability to move energy but you haven't developed the energetic structures to hold it.

This is so common.

Energetic structures might be in your body,

They might be in your consciousness,

They might be in how you manage and support yourself,

They might be in how you manage and support your businesses.

When the energetic structures aren't in place,

What you have is this big energetic expansion followed by like a deflation or even a void.

You need to begin to address this by exploring the support that you need to create structure and to sustain those new energetic levels that you're able to work with.

That might be personal practices,

It might be business energy practices,

It might be changing your systems and support.

There's many,

Many different ways.

Be very practical and energetic in your focus because once you've established better energetic structures,

You're going to be able to work with the energy open to you more consistently.

The third stage is to move the energy.

Now when you feel really stuck,

You need to focus on moving the energy which brilliantly you can do without having to necessarily do anything.

It's a visualisation process.

But there are a number of things that you can do to move the energy,

Practically and energetically,

Which are going to lead you to finding yourself moving on.

Energy needs to move.

It's always seeking to move from its pure frequency state into form and form is multidimensional.

So if we think perhaps of energy seeking to find expression,

It's sometimes easier to understand the many ways it can take form.

Moving energy consciously makes it possible for energy to find expression by connecting with you as its channel and finding the dimension that you can offer it.

One of the things I find so helpful is to use your hands.

Your hands are the practical tools of creation.

They're also the symbolic ones.

They are your channels of energy and your tools of creation.

So do something with your hands to get the energy moving.

This will in itself help you to get old energy moving out and allow new energy to touch all the different parts of you and the inspiration is going to follow and the expansion is inevitable after that.

So,

I don't know,

Drum a beat,

Write,

Prepare a talk,

Cook,

Craft,

Paint,

Dance,

Play music.

Do something with your hands to feel the energy move through you.

That in itself will facilitate so much feeling of movement.

And the final piece is to rest in patience.

So when we are integrating energy expansion,

It's tough on our systems.

And if you've been doing a lot of growing,

Sometimes you just need to stop and rest.

Your system,

Your body,

Your energy just needs to catch up.

And a little patience can go a long,

Long way in these times as you wait for things to drop into place.

But don't let rest stop you from playing with what you already know and what you know is coming in.

It's in the expression that you're going to find the understanding and insight to develop your partnership with the energy.

But it's like you've got to play with it.

You've got to explore it.

And sometimes when you're having a little bit of a downtime and a rest,

That's when you can play the most constructively.

So learning the skills to manage the downtimes is just as important as learning how to navigate and grow in the uptimes.

Managing your energy and your business energy is foundational work that will help you get unstuck a lot faster.

So as soon as that feeling of stuckness begins to descend,

Turn your focus to these four areas to get yourself on the move.
