When You Find Yourself Wavering

This week’s blog is all about those moments when we waver. 🌊

You know the ones—where everything feels aligned, energy is high, you’re riding a wave of clarity and momentum... and then, out of nowhere, you wake up and the vibe has shifted. 😶‍🌫️ 

Doubt creeps in. Anxiety tightens its grip. You suddenly feel paralyzed, unmotivated, and overwhelmed. What happened? How did I get here? Everything felt so good just yesterday. 🤯

And then the spiral starts: Was all that alignment just a tease? Was that flow just temporary? The thoughts come in hard and fast, and suddenly it feels like all the good things were just borrowed, not built. You begin to question everything. Maybe it was false hope... maybe I made it all up. 😔

But then there’s that quiet knowing inside—the part of you that’s tired of spiraling, tired of the self-doubt. The voice that says: Hey, maybe this is just a hiccup. Maybe this is what being human looks like. 💛

So you start your pep talk. You ground yourself in something more gentle. You remind yourself: We didn’t come this far, do all this inner work, and explore who we truly are... just to hit a bump and retreat back into comfortable chaos.

When this happened to me recently, I did something simple: I listened.  My body said, “I need a break.” My mind was racing ahead, dragging me with it—and my body needed time to catch up. So I slowed down. 

At a recent networking event, a panelist spoke about resilience. They said, “Resilience is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.” 💪 That landed deeply with me. It’s true. Resilience doesn’t mean pushing through at full speed. Sometimes it means gently treading water. Sometimes it means pausing. Sometimes it looks like breathing —literally.

Nothing was working to calm me—reading didn’t help, journaling felt chaotic, every tool I normally lean on felt... off. But instead of labeling it a failure, I saw each one as a redirect. Just because one method didn’t work today doesn’t mean it’s broken. It just means I needed to pivot. Like being on the court with no clear shot—you don’t give up. You pivot. You wait. You breathe. You shift until the path opens.

That was my day today. Plans didn’t pan out. Tasks got pushed. I started late. I’ll finish some things tomorrow. But I didn’t quit. I slowed down. I found my breath. 

I used the 4-4-4 breathwork method: inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. I repeated it over and over until I felt the anxiety settle. Only then could my affirmations even begin to land. 🧠💫

This blog is a love note to your resilience. 💌 To the reminder that flow doesn’t always mean forward motion. Sometimes flow looks like treading water. Sometimes it’s stillness.

Sometimes it’s movement in twenty directions before you find your way. 

You’re not off track—you’re just in a pause. You’re still flowing. Still growing. Still exactly where you need to be. 

And this? This is what resilience looks like. ✨
