There comes a time that despite having done everything right, you can start to feel stuck in life.
You may have followed the path that was laid out for you from birth while keeping all your toes in line, and still feel like something is missing.
In this post, we’ll talk about why you feel this way, what’s missing and what to do about it.

What does it mean to be Stuck in Life?
Before I go any further, let me clarify exactly what I’m talking about.
Feeling stuck in life doesn’t mean you have nothing going on or your life is falling apart. In fact, it may be the complete opposite. You may have it all: a job that supports you, a cozy home to live in, family that loves you and a great friend circle to lean on. Everything may look great on paper and perhaps from the outside you have no right to complain about your life.
However, the feeling of being trapped in a system that doesn’t care about you, doing work that doesn’t matter in the world, and being stuck in a society that stifles your true potential haunts you and keeps you up at night wondering if this is all life has to offer.
Perhaps you’re even on a pilgrimage: chasing meaning through travel, new experiences and digging for life’s secrets in online forums but nothing seems to fit the bill. No matter what you do, you can’t find lasting happiness.
In fact, the more you search, the more intense the feelings of disconnection, frustration and being stuck in a dark place become.
Why you feel Stuck in Life
If you feel stuck in life, it’s not an accident. It’s an indication that you’re starting your spiritual awakening journey.
While the search for purpose may be isolating, it’s a sign that your soul is ready to move on from the mundane experience of life to something higher and more meaningful.
This is a natural part of your soul’s growth and development; you are not crazy, this is not woo-woo and yes, this is actually happening.
Perhaps you have observed that there are many types of people in the world: all at different levels of maturity. This is not an accident, it’s karma.
We tend to think of life as the time between birth and death, rather, it is the overextending journey that takes you through millions of lifetimes until you tire of the world and come back home to your authentic self.
When these indications appear in your life, it’s a sign that you’ve gone through many, many births, have tired of the world and are being called inward to enter the next phase of your growth and development in life.

How to get Unstuck
The only way to get un-stuck in life, find fulfillment and satiate the unrelenting desire inside you for something deeper in life is to turn inward.
As you have already experienced, material desires and experiences cannot and do not fill the void inside you; the only way you can find purpose in life and answers to all your philosophical questions is by turning inward.
One such tool to help you do this is yoga.
The ancient practice of yoga has been helping souls find their way home for millennia.
It is not just asana or posture practice; it is a tried and tested framework designed to raise your level of consciousness, reconnect you to your Self and take you to moksha or spiritual enlightenment.
