The Real Reason You're Feeling Pulled in Too Many Directions
Apr 27, 2025
If you’ve ever said:
"I have so many interests, I don't know which path to pick."
or
"I'm passionate about a lot of things, but I can’t seem to choose—or commit to anything long-term."
—this post is for you.
Feeling pulled in a million directions isn’t a sign that you’re broken.
Or flaky.
Or doomed to wander aimlessly forever.
It’s actually a clue that something deeper is happening in your energy field—and once you understand it, you can finally find the clarity you’ve been craving.
First: Let’s normalize it
You are a multi-dimensional being.
It’s natural to have many passions, gifts, and curiosities.
Your soul is expansive by nature.
But if your passions feel more like overwhelm than inspiration—something else is going on.
The real reason you feel pulled in too many directions?
It’s not just that you have too many interests.
It’s that your energy isn’t fully anchored.
When your energy is scattered, disconnected, or cluttered with external influences, it becomes hard to hear the true voice of your soul.
Every shiny idea, external “should,” or passing interest can feel equally urgent—because your internal compass isn’t calibrated yet.
Here’s what might be happening under the surface:
1. You’re carrying other people’s expectations in your energy field
You’ve been absorbing ideas about what success, happiness, or purpose “should” look like from parents, teachers, mentors, society.
Some of the paths pulling at you aren’t even yours—they’re energetic imprints from others.
Spiritual coaching can help you clear out these attachments so you can feel your own desires again.
2. You haven’t cleared past-life or karmic entanglements
Sometimes, the pull toward certain paths or patterns isn’t about now—it’s about unfinished business from previous lifetimes.
For example, you might feel an intense (but confusing) pull toward healing work, teaching, or artistic expression because your soul has deep roots in those areas—even if they don't fully fit your current life direction.
Clearing and integrating those influences helps you reclaim your full energy—and choose from this lifetime’s truth.
3. Your inner child is trying to keep you safe
When you’ve experienced rejection, failure, or shame around self-expression in the past, your subconscious might resist “choosing wrong” again.
It’s safer (energetically) to stay scattered than to risk going all-in on something meaningful.
Working on energetic healing and inner child integration gives you permission to choose—and know you’ll be okay even if the path evolves.
One of my clients, Elena, came to me feeling completely overwhelmed by all the directions she felt pulled:
Start a podcast. Become a wellness coach. Go back to school. Travel the world.
She was exhausted from trying to “figure it out.”
In her Akashic Records, we discovered that part of her soul’s blueprint was centered around freedom and expansion—but she had karmic guilt from a past life where she had abandoned obligations to follow her passion. That guilt was now showing up as paralysis.
Once we cleared the energetic burden, Elena was able to choose a path that honored her love for creativity and structure—launching a passion project that grew naturally without feeling like she had to "pick one thing forever."
“I thought I had to find one passion and commit forever,” she said. “Now I realize my freedom is part of my purpose.”
How to move from scattered to aligned:
-
Clear energetic clutter first—so you’re hearing your soul’s voice, not fear or outside noise
-
Trust your season—you’re allowed to evolve, pivot, and integrate multiple passions over time
-
Focus on resonance, not rigidity—choose the next step that feels most aligned right now; you’re not signing a lifelong contract
-
Anchor into who you are, not just what you do—the right expressions will naturally follow
You don’t need to pick one box—you need to pick your truth
You’re not here to squeeze your soul into one “acceptable” identity.
You’re here to express your energy fully, creatively, and authentically.
When you reconnect with your energetic blueprint, your next steps get clearer—not because you force a decision, but because you feel what’s truly yours.
