Written by Simone Usselman-Tod,
There’s a kind of stuckness that stress brings-the kind that sneaks up slowly. It can cloud your clarity, stall your momentum, and leave you second-guessing yourself.
And often, it’s not just about what’s on your plate. It’s about your energy-how it’s flowing (or not), where it’s leaking, and what might be blocking it.
As someone who helps women master stress and accelerate their goals, I see this all the time: when energy is blocked, everything feels harder. But when we clear it-even just a little-things start to shift. Ideas come back. Confidence rises. The next step becomes clearer.
Energy Isn’t Woo—It’s Wisdom
Your energy tells the truth before your words do. It shows up in how you hold yourself, how you respond to challenges, and even in how you plan (or avoid) your goals.
Stress, over time, creates static in the system. You might feel foggy, reactive, drained, or like you’re trying so hard but not getting anywhere.
That’s often not a motivation problem—it’s an energy block.
These blocks can show up as:
-
Emotional heaviness that you can’t shake
-
Feeling wired but tired
-
Starting strong but losing steam quickly
-
Avoiding tasks that matter to you
-
Pushing through even when your body says “pause”
Clearing = Resetting Your Inner Flow
Stress mastery isn’t just about tools to “manage stress” (although those are helpful). It’s about learning how to clear what’s clogging your system so that your natural energy and momentum can come back online.
Sometimes that’s as simple as:
-
Getting outside and reconnecting with nature
-
Doing a pattern interrupt (literally shaking off stuck energy)
-
Grounding back into your body through breath or stillness
-
Reframing a looping thought and asking, “What else could be true?”
-
Using NLP tools to shift subconscious patterns keeping you stuck
When we reconnect with our energy-when we actually listen to it—we become more focused, productive, calm, and creative.
And when that happens? Goals don’t just feel achievable. They feel aligned.
This Month, I Invite You To:
-
Notice where your energy feels off. Is it mental? Physical? Emotional? Even just naming it can help release it.
-
Play with small resets. Try a 90-second pause. Stand barefoot in the grass. Do one thing that brings you back to yourself.
-
Ask yourself: What am I ready to let go of that no longer fits who I’m becoming?
You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment. Start with one small energetic shift-and watch what opens up.
Clearing blocks doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re growing. And that kind of vibrancy? That’s your power.
