Being Stuck: HELP Monkey Brain's Got Me!
Let’s talk straight.
Being stuck isn’t always bad. It’s not good either. It just is.
Picture this: you’re at a traffic light. It turns green. You press the gas—nothing. The car stalls. Behind you, someone is honking their horn over and over. Stress builds. A thousand thoughts rush in—where you’re headed, what you forgot at the store, what’s for dinner, that haircut you still need. Monkey brain in full swing.
But here’s the truth: it wasn’t complicated. The car just needed you to turn the key again. One small action, and you’re moving. Ta-Da... Unstuck.
Now pause with me for a moment.
How many times a day does that happen inside you? A stall, a freeze, a sudden stop. And how many times do you get moving again—not because life gave you all the answers, but because you took one simple step?
The Noise We Live In
Here’s where it gets interesting. Most of us are surrounded by constant noise. The average American spends nearly four hours a day watching TV, over three hours listening to music or radio, and scrolling through more than two hours of social media every day.
That’s almost half our waking hours being filled with someone else’s story, someone else’s message, someone else’s vision for what matters.
None of that is bad. Stories, music, and films inspire us.
They move us. They give us cultural anchors. But when you’re trying to find your own rhythm, your own clarity, your own next step—you won’t find it in the next episode or the next playlist.
You find it in silence. In that green-light moment where the car won’t move and you have to check in: what now?
Intuition in the Everyday
This is where intuition comes in—not as some mystical thing, but as a natural sense you already have.
It’s the gut nudge that says, “Turn the key again.”
It’s the whisper that reminds you, “You already know the next step.”
And sometimes, intuition doesn’t push you to solve it right away. It shows you what can wait, what can be set aside, what deserves attention later. That’s how you take the pressure off. Not everything is life or death. Not every choice is forever. Some things just need to be noticed, held, and acted on when the time feels right.
So, let me ask:
What’s one place in your life that feels stalled right now?
Where are the horns blaring behind you, while your focus is scattered on a thousand other things?
And what would happen if you stopped judging yourself for being stuck—and simply turned the key?
It doesn’t take perfection. It doesn’t take endless analysis. It takes a moment of presence, a breath, and the willingness to listen inward.
What I am saying…
Being stuck isn’t the enemy.
It’s the pause that lets you notice what’s really happening. It’s the green light waiting for your touch on the ignition.
Today, choose one place where you can tune out the noise, trust your gut, and give yourself that small reset.
Back off your shoulder, breathe, and remember—intuition isn’t about always being right. It’s about staying open to yourself, moment by moment, day by day.
That’s how you move forward. That’s how you live intuitively.
And if you hear something stir—something simple, something soft...
Don’t dismiss it.
That’s where it starts.
That’s where it always starts.
