Shift Your Energy: From Stuck to Flow in Business
May 30, 2025Have you ever felt completely drained, stuck, or on the brink of burnout in your business? Or, on the flip side, have you ever had those seasons where everything feels aligned, ideas flow effortlessly, and success comes naturally?
That’s because your energy is your current. It determines how smoothly your business flows and how easily opportunities come to you. If you’re feeling stagnant or overwhelmed, it’s not about working harder—it’s about learning how to redirect your energy into the right flow.
Let’s break this down into three different energy states and how to shift into your sweet spot.
The Three Energy States in Business
Just like a river, your energy can be in different states: stagnation, rapids, or flow.
1. Stagnant Energy: Feeling Stuck & Uninspired
This is when your energy is at a standstill. You might feel like: β You’re lacking creative ideas or motivation. β You’re doing the same things repeatedly without results. β Business feels sluggish, and sales aren’t coming in. β You’re avoiding new opportunities or playing small.
How to Shift Out of Stagnation:
- Change your environment: A simple shift in scenery can help reset your creative flow.
- Take intentional action: Stop waiting for inspiration—move forward with small steps.
- Get support: Whether it’s outsourcing, hiring help, or joining a mastermind, fresh perspectives can help reignite your momentum.
π Ask yourself: Where am I hesitating or avoiding action? What’s one small step I can take today?
2. Rapids Energy: Overwhelm & Chaos
The opposite of stagnation is when your energy is moving too fast, and you feel like you’re barely keeping up. Signs of rapids energy include: β Feeling like you’re drowning in client work or deadlines. β Constantly putting out fires and having no time to plan ahead. β Your calendar is packed, but your revenue isn’t reflecting your effort. β Burnout, exhaustion, or feeling like you’re always in hustle mode.
How to Shift Out of Rapids Energy:
- Slow down to speed up: Identify tasks you can pause, eliminate, or delegate.
- Create boundaries: Say no to energy-draining tasks or clients that don’t align.
- Prioritize deep work: Block out time for strategic thinking instead of just reactive work.
π Ask yourself: Where am I overcommitting? What can I let go of to create space for more ease?
3. The Sweet Spot: Aligned Flow
This is where your energy moves at the perfect pace—fast enough to create momentum but slow enough to feel grounded and intentional.
Signs you’re in aligned flow: β You’re energized and excited about your work. β Sales and opportunities come to you effortlessly. β Your business feels fun and fulfilling, not stressful. β You have a balanced mix of structure and creativity.
How to Stay in Flow:
- Follow what excites you: Pay attention to what lights you up and do more of it.
- Trust divine timing: Let go of the need to control everything—some of the best opportunities come unexpectedly.
- Protect your energy: Set clear boundaries around work, creativity, and rest.
π Ask yourself: Where do I feel most in alignment? How can I do more of what feels easy and natural?

If business feels heavy, it’s time to shift your energy. Are you stuck in stagnation? Overwhelmed by the rapids? Or are you leaning into aligned flow?
