It’s so easy to get to a place where you feel stuck. We have so much information being thrown at us all the time, so many options. Not enough time and not enough space in our lives to make the choices we need to make, and to trust that they are the right ones.
I know how this feels. I get stuck a lot – either in ‘not doing’ so I can’t move forward at all or in ‘doing’ so I’m really busy but I don’t actually get anywhere. Like on a hamster wheel.
And I’ll bet you do too.
When I don’t know where to go next, I tune into my intuition, my soul, and my spirit guides.
There are lots of ways to do this. You can meditate, you can colour in mandalas, you can do intuitive art, go for a long walk.
Sometimes you don’t even need to DO anything. Your guides are helping you all the time anyway and all you need to do is pay attention. To the song in your head, to the person you bump into, to that dream about an old friend. These are all messages. If you feel that they are trying to tell you something but can’t figure out what it is, ask for clarification. It’s that easy. The best way I have found of getting clearer messages is with oracle cards. Get a deck that speaks to you (my favorites are by Colette Baron-Reid), focus on a question and pull a card.
Or you can find someone you trust to help you figure out the messages. I can do this for you, and there are loads of others out there. Pick someone you’re drawn to and see what happens.
The point is to take action and want to receive guidance and understand it, because this will make everything flow so much more smoothly!
So if you’re stuck and don’t know where to go next, ask the spirit guides. Here’s why I think this is a great idea:
- It takes the pressure off. Suddenly you’re not all alone and it’s not all up to you. You can get help. Someone will tell you what to do, or at least ask the questions that will get you to figure it out by yourself.
- It’s unconventional. You know how Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? I’m betting this isn’t your first time feeling stuck, and I’m sure that you’ve tried stuff before. If it didn’t work or it didn’t get you the results you were after, why not try something new? What do you have to lose?
- The guides have a different perspective. When we are here in the physical space, everything looks different. We are bound by time. We worry. We don’t always trust. But the guides don’t have any of that, and they can look at your situation from a higher perspective. Plus they know why you chose to be born into this life in the first place (you do too, but you probably don’t remember…)
True story:
My guides have nudged me towards all the people who are currently making a difference in my life. Even when I wasn’t expressly asking for help, the same people kept showing up in my Facebook feed, I happened upon the same names over and over again. All I needed to do is listen and take action, and everything started changing.
The guides are helping you out all the time. Are you listening?
Love,

P.S. Now you can ask your guides anything you want. It’s called magic by email. This is where I work with our guides to get you answers about everything that’s on your mind and in your heart right now. It’s deep soul work, it’s incredibly and it is intense. Which means that it gives powerful, meaningful results. Click here to find out more.

When I feel stuck, I take my iphone out and I start writing a note to my “guardian angel”. I tell her how I feel, and how I’d like to feel, and that I trust that she will guide and support me. It instantly makes me feel like I’m not alone and I take comfort in letting go and trusting that I will be directed and supported. 🙂
Shahrzad, that’s so beautiful! I’ll have to try it, it’s so wonderfully simple!
I get stuck a lot too, and I actually haven’t connected with my spirit guides in a while. Thanks so much for this important reminder. Really great post.
You’re welcome Jodi! I don’t know why it’s so easy to forget that we have this resource…
