Why You're Stuck Between Chasing and Waiting (And What to Do)

Video Description

I spent SO LONG trying to create the life I wanted by using manifestation affirmations, forcing and hustling, sometimes waiting and hoping. Both left me exhausted and soooo stuck. Here's what I learned about manifesting from a softer, more embodied place AND the realisation that waiting for opportunities and creating opportunities are not separate, they are part of a dynamic process of making the life we want. 00:00 - Intro 01:06 - What Does Waiting Mean? 05:58 - Moving from Waiting to Creating Opportunity 07:37 - It's Different For Everyone 07:49 - Opportunity Through Invitation 08:27 - Opportunity Through Feeling Good & Saying YES 08:52 - Opportunity Through Initiating 12:13 - How To Prepare For The Right Opportunities 12:32 - Becoming Visible 13:02 - Nourish Yourself 13:34 - Take Small Steps 14:05 - Work On Your Beliefs 14:40 - Try & Experiment 15:20 - Thoughts on MANIFESTATION 16:35 - Coming Full Circle --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the video I mention journalling prompts for 'feeling into your body' so that you can make more embodied choices when creating the life that you desire. I have divided them here into sections for you to try - COMMENT BELOW IF YOU TRY THEM :) Tending to your Self-Worth 1. When do I feel most worthy — without needing to prove or earn it? 2. What beliefs about my worth might be shaping the way I take action? 3. How would I show up differently today if I trusted that I was already enough? 4. What kind of action feels like self-respect, not self-punishment? Tuning Into Your Energy 1. What is my body telling me about my current energy — where do I feel open, and where do I feel tight, constricted or drained? 2. What energises me deeply (not just excites me temporarily)? 3. What am I doing out of obligation that’s quietly leaking my energy? 4. What would it look like to protect or replenish my energy this week? Finding Your Own Alignment 1. What values or truths do I want my actions to reflect right now? 2. When have I felt “in flow” recently — what was happening that made that possible? 3. What am I being pulled toward that feels aligned, even if it’s uncertain? 4. What might alignment look like today in small, grounded choices? Taking Grounded Action 1. What’s one small step I can take that feels aligned and sustainable — not forced? 2. Before I act, can I pause and ask: “Is this coming from fear or from trust?” 3. What would it feel like to move forward gently, without needing to rush or prove? 4. How can I celebrate the energy and intention behind my action — not just the outcome? Integration and Embodiment Check-In 1. How does my body feel when I’m in alignment vs. when I’m in pressure/hustle mode? 2. What does “steady” or "clear" feel like in my body — and how can I return to that state more often? 3. What helps me feel like I’m becoming the version of myself who already has the opportunities I seek? 4. What reminder or mantra anchors me back into trust and embodiment when I start to push or rush?
