How To Move Forward When You Feel Like You Are Stuck Or Going Slow
Do you feel like you are going slow or maybe even stuck in a situation that you don’t prefer? Often, when things are stalled, it is for a reason.
Your temporary pause in action may be due to something you need to learn first before you can move forward.
Or it may be due to events getting lined up behind the scenes, integration of new energy, or many other things.
How to Move Forward When You Feel Like You Are Stuck or Going Slow
1. Are You Actually Stuck or Is This a Temporary Pause in Action?
You may want to ask yourself, “am I moving forward a little bit, and is this just a temporary pause in action in order for things, events and people to get lined up behind the scenes?”
Sometimes you need certain people or events to get lined up FIRST in order to help you to move forward. This temporary pause in action may be due to that.
Maybe the next part of your journey involves someone else. If so, then the universe will be doing its part to get that person lined up for you. Whether it is a business partner, a romantic partner, a soul mate, a friend, or a mentor.
So, if you have moved forward somewhat and now you are having a temporary pause in action, it may be so that the next people, circumstances, and events in your journey can get lined up.
2. Are You Integrating the Energy of What You’ve Recently Learned Before You Can Move Forward?
When you learn a lot of new things, you need time to process them. You need time to process the new energy because now you are different than you were before you learned these new concepts, belief systems, etc.
Your body, mind, and soul may need time to process this new energy because it is different than the previous energy you had. It is a time to be still and really allow the new energies into your being.
Your temporary pause in action may be so that you can integrate the new energy of the things that you just recently learned. If you’ve recently learned a lot of new things and taken a lot of action, this temporary pause may be allowing the new energies to integrate into your life.
Your life is like the seasons and it shifts and changes in similar ways. You can’t just constantly take action 24/7; you need a rest period as well. This article explains this concept in more detail – Life Cycles & Season, Honor the One You’re In.
3. What Do You Need to Learn First?
We are always in situations for a reason, there are no coincidences. Either your soul wants to learn something or via the law of attraction, you have been brought to a situation because it matches your energy.
Ask yourself, “what do I need to learn first so that I can move forward?” Then, be open to learning the new thing.
Journal about how the situation makes you feel and what you are learning from it.
Sometimes you are at a place to learn something so that you can move forward. Your situation may be the exact right one to make you into the person you need to be for the next part of your journey.
If you didn’t learn this thing first, then you wouldn’t be as successful at the next part of your journey. So, it can be a major blessing in disguise even if you do feel stuck.

4. Is There Something That Is Serving You in Your Present Situation?
Another thing you can ask yourself is, “what in my present situation is serving me?” There’s always a reason, otherwise, you wouldn’t be in the situation.
Really think about how your present situation is benefitting you. Look at the alternatives and see how where you are is beneficial to you.
How is your present situation helping you to grow and evolve?
5. Do You Have a Limiting Belief That Is Holding You Back & Stopping You from Taking Action?
You may have a limiting belief that you aren’t even aware of that is holding you back. Most of the time these beliefs are hidden in your subconscious, so you aren’t aware that they are preventing you from taking action.
For example, maybe you have a belief that only evil people make money and that spiritual people shouldn’t have abundance. If you do, then you’ll never have money because you don’t want to be a ‘bad person’ or ‘less spiritual’.
Or maybe you have a fear of success. It sounds crazy, but you may have this fear because you know your life will change if you are successful the new energy will feel uncomfortable because it isn’t what you are used to.
If you are used to being broke your entire life and then all of a sudden you become successful, it will temporarily feel a bit uncomfortable. You will really have to get your mindset right to allow this new energy, so you don’t sabotage it and go back to your comfort zone.
Envision yourself in the situation you want to be in and notice how it feels. Does it feel uncomfortable? If so, why? What feels uncomfortable about it? Really dig deep and bring up those limiting beliefs so that you can release them and move forward.
Replace the old beliefs with new beliefs by either saying affirmations or choosing to believe in the one you prefer. However, you do it is up to you.
6. Can You Trust That You Are Where You Are Supposed to Be?
Trusting that you are where you are supposed to be is very powerful. You are always in the perfect situation for your soul’s growth.
If you can trust that you are where you are supposed to be then it will really help you to release resistance.
Accepting your situation is powerful for creating what you want because it releases resistance. It also says to the universe, “I am where I’m supposed to be” and the universe will bring you more situations to validate that.
Bottom Line: How to Move Forward When You Feel Like You Are Stuck or Going Slow
Sometimes the universe is getting the new things lined up for you first for the next part of your journey, so things may be moving forward behind the scenes without you realizing it.
Really take the time to journal and think about why you are in your present situation. Do you have a limiting belief that is holding you back?
If you feel like you’re stuck or going slow, these 6 questions will help you to uncover what might be preventing you from moving forward.
