Why Your Mind Keeps You Stuck

Even when you're doing all of the right things.

And you’ve tried them all.
EFT. The Emotion Code. Reiki. Energy Medicine. Muscle Testing. Supplements. Therapy. And more.
You’ve filled your toolbox with so many tools—but still, something feels off.
You're not broken.
But you are caught in a loop.
And the common denominator isn’t your effort, or even the tools themselves—
It’s that you’re still trying to figure it out.
The Trap of Overthinking (Even in Healing)
If you’ve spent any time in the healing world, you’ve likely heard some version of this:
“Just tap it out.”
“Muscle test it.”
“Run a process on it.”
“Journal about where it came from.”
“Figure out what it means.”
It sounds empowering—until you realize you’ve trained your mind to scan every uncomfortable moment for a problem... so it can reach into your toolbox and do something about it.
But that’s the thing:
If you never stop to ask whether something actually needs to be fixed, you stay in a constant cycle of trying to fix yourself.
And that’s exhausting.
Tools Aren’t the Problem—But They’re Not Necessarily the Answer Either
Every technique you’ve ever learned likely helped you in some way. This isn’t about throwing your toolbox away.
It’s about realizing that your tools are only as effective as the perspective that’s guiding them.
If the mind is in charge, it will convince you everything is urgent.
It will label discomfort as danger.
It will demand a solution before you’ve even paused to feel into what’s actually true.
And if you skip that pause, you’ll burn out from trying to fix things that were never problems in the first place.
The Pattern Looks Like This
- You feel uncomfortable.
- Your mind says: “Something’s wrong.”
- You grab a tool.
- It helps… for a while.
- The discomfort returns.
- You question yourself.
- You look for more tools.
- Repeat.
What’s missing?
The body.
Your inner authority.
Your truth.
What If This Isn’t a Problem?
That’s the question that changed everything for me.
After years of trying to fix my life through nutrition, supplements, energy work, self-help, and healing protocols, I started to wonder:
“What if my body isn’t asking me to fix anything?”
“What if this discomfort is just feedback?”
“What if clarity isn’t something I think my way into, but something I feel my way toward?”
That’s when alignment became the goal—not healing.
And everything changed.
The Power of Presence
Clarity doesn’t come from the mind.
It comes from the body—when you’re actually present with it.
Not diagnosing.
Not naming emotions.
Not trying to analyze what it all means.
Just being.
Feeling your breath.
Noticing your heartbeat.
Listening for that still, small voice inside that whispers,
“This isn’t yours to carry.”
“This isn’t a problem.”
“This will pass.”
When You Align, Everything Becomes Simpler
Because here’s what happens when the foundation is alignment:
You stop treating your life like a project to be managed.
You stop outsourcing your power to techniques, tools, or people.
You stop searching for the next “fix” and start living from your own inner truth.
And when something does call for support?
You know exactly what kind you need—because your body tells you.
That’s what the How to Human process teaches you to do.
My Story (The Short Version)
There was a time I was taking up to 70 supplemental pills a day.
I did the coffee enemas. The detoxes. The protocols.
Then I moved into energy work and higher-dimensional healing.
And honestly?
Most of it helped a little—It at lease felt like I was doing something productive in the moment.
But none of it lasted.
Not until I came into alignment with my own inner authority.
Not until I stopped trying to fix what wasn’t broken.
Not until I stopped chasing healing and started choosing presence.
Now, I live in a different rhythm.
There’s more peace. More joy. More trust.
And far less urgency to make myself “better.”
