Fact: Adulting is fun when you are a young fresh adult with so many possibilities on the horizon, oh the things you could achieve, the heights of success you could reach, so many things you could do!

Fact: Adulting after you’ve been at it for a while (lets say 40+) is hard and can feel stressful, uninspiring and like you are stuck in a rut!

When we are feeling stuck in a rut we might consider what needs to change to unstick ourselves….what else can we ‘do’ at work or in our life to improve our value, to demonstrate our worth. To prove my success to myself and maybe others…what more can I possibly DO!?

This past few weeks I have been reflecting on how often yoga students tell me that they just feel stuck! In all the ways, physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically.

Students will ask advice about practices they could possibly do outside of a one hour yoga class and I’m always happy to help, providing a little advice in the very short time just before or after class. I share what I can based on what I do know now but there’s never ever enough time to go deeper, and there is always more to learn.

So if you have ever wondered what this stuck business is all about, in this article I’ll attempt to unpack why we feel stuck, physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically in the context of Polyvagal theory.

Make yourself a cuppa and go get comfy - this article is a longer read but I hope that it helps give you just a little understanding about why we feel stuck. You can then try some of the practices listed here and if you do please do let me know how you go 💕

Enjoy 😊

Could growing up be bad for you? When I was a little girl, I dreamed about what my life might be like as a grown up. ..It was light and joyous to dream about ALL the possibilities, about all the experiences, about all the FUN I would have as an adult.

And this is how it feels for most of us when we are kids.

Somewhere along the way we start to take it all a little, well actually, a lot seriously. And it’s not surprising because adulting is hard!
