You’re Not in a Rut. You’re in a Reset.
Jun 08, 2025
There are seasons in life when everything feels foggy. The motivation is gone. The clarity is missing. The things that used to light you up now feel… dull. And no matter how hard you try to shake it off, something still feels stuck.
So, naturally, you start to wonder: What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I get it together? Am I in a rut?
But what if the issue isn’t that you’re stuck? What if you’re not falling apart, but falling inward? What if this isn’t a rut at all…But a reset?
What a reset actually is (and why it feels so uncomfortable)
A reset is a spiritual recalibration. It’s when your old energy, habits, identity, or environment are no longer a match for the frequency you’re expanding into. But instead of a clear transition, resets feel murky. You don’t have the new energy fully online yet, but you’ve already outgrown the old.
You might feel like you’re floating. Or invisible. Or like nothing is landing the way it used to.
This can feel incredibly frustrating, especially if you’re someone who’s used to making things happen. But that frustration is often your nervous system’s response to a lack of clarity, not a sign that you’re off path.
In a reset, your soul is doing a deep reorganization. You’re not meant to be productive in the traditional sense. You’re meant to listen.
Client story: When the work stopped working
My client Nina had always been a high performer. She had a morning routine, a crystal-clear vision board, and a growing business that she deeply cared about. But when she came to me, she said something I hear often: “I’m doing all the things that used to work, but none of it is moving the needle. I feel numb.”
Rather than trying to push her back into momentum, we paused. We looked at her energy. And it was clear: she wasn’t stuck. She was resetting. Her identity was shifting. Her desires were shifting. Even her definition of success was shifting.
We spent a few weeks unwinding the pressure to be productive and letting her field recalibrate. And then, without effort, clarity returned. But this time, it came from a deeper place. A wiser place. A place that didn’t need her to perform, only to be.
How to know if you’re in a reset, not a rut
-
You feel drained by things that used to energize you
-
You have the desire to slow down but keep resisting it
-
You’re craving quiet, solitude, or less input
-
Your goals feel vague or don’t excite you like they used to
-
You’re questioning your identity, desires, or direction
-
You feel like you're waiting, but for what, you can't explain
If you’re nodding yes, take heart. This is a sacred pause, not a permanent stop.
How to move through a reset with intention (not pressure)
-
Let go of the urge to “fix” it
This isn’t a problem to solve. It’s an invitation to soften. Instead of asking, “What should I do?” try asking, “What wants to emerge?” -
Simplify your energy inputs
Turn down the noise. Create space actually to feel your own energy again. Unfollow, mute, unplug, whatever brings you back to yourself. -
Connect with your body’s natural rhythms
Resets often show up as physical fatigue or emotional sensitivity. Honor that. Your body is integrating at a deep level. Let rest be sacred. -
Don’t rush the clarity
It’s coming. But it needs space to land. The more you push for answers, the longer they take to reveal themselves. Make peace with the pause. -
Anchor into trust, not urgency
Remember: your energy is preparing for expansion. Just because you can’t see the new reality yet doesn’t mean it’s not forming beneath the surface.
Resets are how the soul reclaims direction
You are not lazy. You are not failing. You are not falling behind.
You are realigning. Reclaiming. Realigning with a more refined version of who you’re here to be.
And that version doesn’t live in burnout, hustle, or constant motion. She lives in presence. She lives in clarity. She lives in energy that’s been cleared, recharged, and upgraded.
So let the reset reset you. You’ll move again, stronger, clearer, and more true than before.
