The Empath’s Guide to Getting Unstuck

Release the confusion, reconnect with your true self, and move forward with confidence.

Sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads, wanting to go in a particular direction, or perhaps confused as to what that direction is.

Our soul seems to be crying out for something more. There’s a yearning for a new direction; but we’re lost in a sea of confusion, and we can’t clearly see the horizon.

Here’s why: Empaths are sensitive to others’ thoughts and emotions. We take it on as if it’s our own, and then we feel “off”.

Why? Because it’s not ours.

It throws us out of alignment with who WE really are, and creates massive confusion. So we end up spinning our wheels over and over again.

In order to stop the insanity, we need to protect ourselves from the outside energies that throw us off track.

Then we need to get absolutely clear on where we are, and what our TRUE heart desires are.

It’s also important to step into our amazing power as an empath. (What an awesome intuition we have.)

Finally, we need the right tools and support to get us past all of the fears and beliefs that have built up within our sensitive soul. (Building our confidence is also important.)

So, what’s holding us back? It takes courage to look at ourselves, and reading on in this article is the first step in taking back your power and living a life that’s worthy of you.

So here goes…

There’s an elephant in the room that most of us don’t know exists, and it’s putting up a roadblock. Let’s dive into the details of the what, why and how of “stuck-ness”, so we can finally break free and head in a direction that lights us up.

Here are the reasons for the roadblocks:

1. The elephant in the room is (drum roll please): The subconscious mind. When we know how to work with it in an effective way, then we can finally get unstuck. (More on that later.)
2. Another aspect of being stuck is not being in “alignment” with who we really are. After all, we’re a product of our experiences, particularly as an empath. In the end, we lose sight of living that authentic life that we were born to live.
3. A lack of belief in ourselves (call it low self-esteem or lack of self-love) can certainly keep us from having the confidence to move forward.
4. Limiting beliefs in other areas of our life hold us back, and those beliefs were created by past experiences. As much as we may want something, we don’t believe we can have it. This often happens around money, especially for empaths.
5. Resistance that’s created by fear will keep us from creating the life we REALLY want, and we learn the hard way that sometimes we have to be fearless. (And get past the blocks that have been created by our sensitive nature.)

Now that we know the roadblocks, let’s take a look at the solutions.

Here are tools that you can use now:

1. We need to start by honing in on the weakest area of our life that’s throwing us out of balance, and we often don’t realize it until we rate those areas on a scale from 1 to 10. How satisfied are you with these areas of your life? Family and friends, money, health, physical environment (where you live), fun and recreation, career, spiritual alignment, and romance? Start with the area that has the lowest rating, and bring it into balance by asking yourself: “what would make that a 10?”
2. Start working with the divine subconscious mind. We get there not by stressing out and analyzing, but by relaxing, visualizing and looking within because our memories, emotions and imagination are at the subconscious level. (We’ve become a society that searches the internet and everywhere else for the answers, and we end up dis-empowering ourselves.) Journal about what you truly want, and imagine the gratitude you’ll feel when you already have that life.
3. Recognize your limiting beliefs around the things you want but don’t believe you can have. Where do you think those beliefs came from? Imagine letting go of the beliefs, and becoming free to move forward. (Hint: The subconscious mind communicates through metaphors—that’s why dreams are often symbolic. So imagine those beliefs flying away like a bird, or whatever metaphor works for you.)
4. Where do you REALLY see yourself in the future? If you were to close your eyes and imagine, what physical location would you be in and what would you be doing?
5. Release the fear by once again tapping into your imagination and letting go. Write down the fears, crinkle it up, and toss it in the trash.
6. Use a powerful affirmation to reinforce your belief in yourself, such as “I Am Enough”. (The subconscious only knows NOW, so think of yourself as already being powerful and truly FEEL it.)
7. You attract what you focus on, so mind your intentions. Thoughts are things, so be mindful of what you’re thinking and how you’re FEELING. Stay positive, and if you’re struggling to do that, then write a list of the things you’re grateful for.

If you’re spinning your wheels, dig into these tools. Do the work, relax, and have fun with it. Before you know it, you’ll be moving in the direction of your dreams, feeling less stressed and more confident.
