This is a post I started a couple years ago but I was too chicken to hit publish on it. But here we go.
There comes a moment when burning sage, journaling, meditating, or whatever else you’ve been doing to “clear the energy” no longer works.
You’ve tried all the usual tricks, but nothing.
So what do you do?
You leave.
Maybe not physically (though sometimes that helps too), but mentally, emotionally—whatever it takes to step back from the energy drain and RECLAIM yourself.
This is the step that most people resist the most.
We cling to situations, relationships, and environments long past their expiration date because we think we can “fix” them. Spoiler: Sometimes, you can’t. And that’s okay.
You gotta get back in your own alignment.
What does alignment even mean? It’s that feeling when things just click. Living in ease. When you’re not pushing, forcing, or convincing yourself to stay in something that no longer serves you. Alignment isn’t found in chaos. It’s found in clarity. And sometimes, clarity comes from walking away long enough to hear your own thoughts again.
Go find your passion.
Not the passion someone else told you should be exciting. Not what makes sense on paper. The things that make you actually feel alive! Maybe it’s something you’ve abandoned along the way. Maybe it’s something you haven’t discovered yet. Either way, it’s time to stop waiting and start exploring.
Do what lights YOU up.
No more playing small. No more dulling your shine to make other people comfortable. If it makes you happy, excited, inspired, or even a little scared (in a good way), it’s worth chasing. When you start making decisions based on what feels expansive rather than what feels safe, life starts moving in a whole new direction.
Go go go!
Once you realize what needs to change, take action. Thinking about it, overanalyzing, waiting for the “right time” (spoiler: it never comes) only keeps you stuck. The faster you move, the faster the energy shifts. So take the leap. Move forward. And trust that you’ll land exactly where you’re meant to be.
Because sometimes, the sage can’t fix it. But you can.
