The Reasons Why You Feel Stuck (And How to Shift It)

Have you ever noticed that no matter how much you think, plan, or list out your options, you still feel stuck?

Here’s the truth most people miss: feeling stuck rarely comes from not knowing what to do.

It comes from making decisions out of fear instead of love.

Fear-based decisions sound like:

“I’d better stay in this job because what if I can’t find another one?”

“I’ll keep quiet in this relationship because what if I end up alone?”

Love-based decisions sound like:

“This job doesn’t light me up, so I’ll take one step toward something that does.”

“I want relationships where I can speak my truth, so I’ll practice being honest now.”

The difference is subtle, but powerful.

Clarity doesn’t come from overthinking — it comes from aligning with love.

The next time you feel stuck, pause and ask yourself:

“What would feel like love right now?”

That’s your next step. And if you’d like support finding those steps with ease, that’s exactly what I guide my clients through in my Clarity Path Coaching.

Fear vs Love: How to Make Decisions That Align with Your True Self

When you stand at a crossroad in life — whether in your career, relationships, or personal growth — the choice often boils down to one hidden driver: fear or love.

Most of us think we’re making logical decisions, but beneath the surface, it’s usually the nervous system calling the shots. Fear says, “Play it safe. Don’t risk it. You’ll regret it.” Love whispers, “This feels expansive. You’re allowed to grow.”

The difference between these two can completely shift the course of your life.

🚪 How to Recognise a Fear-Based Choice

Fear-based decisions often feel urgent, heavy, or laced with self-doubt. Some common signs:
- You say “yes” because you don’t want to disappoint others.
- You stay in a job or relationship because “at least it’s secure.”
- You hear an inner voice that says “What if I fail?” louder than “What if this works?”
- Your body feels tight, anxious, or restless.

Fear-based choices usually keep you in the same cycle. They protect you, but they also limit you.

💖 How to Recognise a Love-Based Choice

Love-based choices expand you. Even if they feel scary, there’s an underlying sense of excitement or possibility.

Signs you’re choosing from love:
- You feel a soft “yes” in your body — a grounded sense of rightness.
- The thought makes you breathe deeper, not shallower.
- You imagine the choice and feel lighter, not heavier.
- Even if it’s uncertain, it carries hope, not dread.

Love-based choices don’t guarantee “easy,” but they do guarantee alignment.

✍️ Journaling Prompts to Shift From Fear → Love

Next time you’re at a crossroad, take a notebook and reflect on these questions:

1. If fear wasn’t in the driver’s seat, what would I choose?
2. What would love want for me right now?
3. How does my body feel when I imagine Option A vs. Option B?

Writing the answers helps you bypass the mental noise and access your deeper truth.

🌱 A Real Example

One of my clients stayed in a job for years because it felt “secure,” even though she was deeply unfulfilled. Through our work, she realised every decision she made was based on fear of instability.

When she shifted to asking, “What would love choose?” she finally stepped into a role that lit her up, even though it stretched her. Months later, she said: “I feel like I’m living again, not surviving.”

✨ Your Next Step
