Why You Still Feel Stuck After “Doing the Work”: The Hidden Energy That Needs Clearing

You’ve done the work.

You’ve journaled. Reflected. Meditated.
You’ve processed your childhood wounds. Rewritten your beliefs.
You’ve hired the coach. Read the books. Shown up again and again.

And still…
Something feels stuck.

You’re not broken.
You’re just full.

❍ What’s Actually Keeping You Stuck?

Most people assume stuckness means they haven’t worked hard enough.
But what’s actually happening is that your energy field is still holding onto something unprocessed, unseen, or unresolved—even if your conscious mind can’t pinpoint it.

These stuck energies may include:

• Emotional residue from past experiences

• Energetic imprints from parents, ancestors, or collective trauma

• Internalized expectations you didn’t know you were carrying

• Protective patterns that were useful once—but no longer serve you
  

You’ve done the mindset work.
But energy isn’t cleared with thought alone.
It moves when we’re ready to feel what’s underneath.

❍ The Difference Between Growth Fatigue and True Breakthrough

If you feel tired of the healing process—or like nothing ever “sticks”—you may be experiencing growth fatigue.

That’s what happens when the same energetic pattern keeps recycling beneath the surface, even while you’re doing all the right things.

This is why Janell always says:
“What’s keeping you stuck is usually something you can’t see yet.”
That’s not failure. That’s a signal.

And it means it’s time to go deeper—not into your thoughts, but into your field.

❍ What the Science Tells Us

🔹 Emotions are stored in the body
According to research from Bessel van der Kolk and others, unprocessed emotional experiences live in the tissues and nervous system—not just in memory .

🔹 Inherited trauma is real
Studies in epigenetics show that emotional stress responses can be passed down through generations

🔹 The subconscious controls 95% of your patterns
According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, the majority of our behaviors and beliefs operate below conscious awareness—which is why mindset alone often isn’t enough.

❍ Energetic Patterns Can Be Inherited or Absorbed

You may be holding energy that:

• Was passed down through your family line

• You picked up in childhood from environments or unspoken expectations

• You absorbed from others because of your sensitivity or intuitive nature
  

If it feels like a mystery why you're stuck—it’s likely because it’s not your energy to begin with.

Clearing these patterns doesn’t just bring relief.
It brings you back to yourself.

❍ Signs There’s Hidden Energy Still Running

• Feeling “off” even when life looks fine

• Sabotaging progress when things start going well

• Inner conflict between desire and action

• Resistance you can’t explain

• Emotional weight that doesn’t match the moment

• Doing more but getting less clarity
  

These aren’t just habits or limiting beliefs.
They’re energetic patterns still playing out.

❍ How to Begin Clearing What You Can’t See

Disclaimer: This is for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice. Please consult your healthcare provider before adding or removing anything from your daily routine.

1. Stop trying to figure it out mentally.
   This part isn’t logical. It’s energetic.

2. Ask your body: “What am I still holding that isn’t mine?”
   Listen without needing an answer. The awareness alone starts the shift.

3. Allow movement.
   Shake, breathe, cry, walk, sigh. The body knows how to let go.

4. Work with someone who can see what you can’t.
   Janell helps clients locate and release the hidden energies running under the surface—so they can finally move forward.
   
   

❍ Q&A: Why You Still Feel Stuck

Q: Why doesn’t mindset work fix this?
A: Because mindset affects thought. But stuck energy lives in the body, field, and subconscious. To shift it, you need more than insight—you need energetic alignment.

Q: What does “unseen energy” mean?
A: It can be ancestral trauma, childhood emotion, karmic patterns, or collective energy you’ve absorbed. Anything you haven’t consciously processed still holds charge until it’s cleared.

Q: Is it possible to outgrow energy you never understood?
A: Yes. Your system is wise—it can let go without full understanding. Sometimes we just need help finding the thread so the body can release what it’s been holding.

❍ This Is the Work Janell Does

When your energy is full of old stories, beliefs, and inherited expectations, clarity becomes impossible. Janell helps you:

• Identify the energetic root of your stuckness

• Clear patterns that don’t belong to you

• Reconnect with your own rhythm and momentum
  

Because breakthrough doesn’t come from effort.
It comes from alignment with your true energy.

If you’re ready to release what’s not yours and return to your clarity—this work is for you.
Let’s work together
