Feeling Stuck? How to Get Out of a Rut with Movement and Somatic Healing
If you’re feeling stuck or like you’re in a rut, you’re not alone. It’s a common experience, often triggered by stress, routine, or unresolved emotions. While it might feel overwhelming, there are ways to break free. One of the most effective strategies is incorporating movement into your routine, and somatic experiences like Breathwork can be game changers in your journey.
The Role of Movement in Breaking the Rut
Movement is a powerful tool for shifting your energy and mindset. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), physical activity reduces stress, improves mood, and enhances overall well-being (source). Even a simple walk can ignite mental clarity and help you feel more connected to your body. Movement gets your blood flowing, releases endorphins, and can physically shake off the heaviness you’re feeling.
At The Guides Holistic Therapies in San Diego, we encourage our clients to embrace movement as a step toward transformation. Whether it’s a yoga session, a walk along the picturesque Bird Rock neighborhood in La Jolla, or a personalized Breathwork session, moving your body is an essential part of becoming unstuck.
Why Somatic Experiences Like Breathwork Work
Somatic healing practices, such as Breathwork, offer a deeper layer of transformation. These practices connect the mind and body, helping you access and release stored emotions and tension. Breathwork allows you to dive into your subconscious, where unresolved feelings often reside. By creating intentional movement with your breath, you can:
Release emotional blocks that keep you stuck.
Access deeper states of self-awareness and relaxation.
Reprogram limiting beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you.
Think of Breathwork as a bridge between where you are now and where you want to be. It’s not just about relaxation; it’s about transformation. At The Guides, located conveniently near Bird Rock and other San Diego neighborhoods, we customize each Breathwork session to meet your unique needs and goals.
Embracing the Discomfort for Growth
If you’ve ever pushed through a tough workout, you know the feeling of muscle fatigue and soreness. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s also a sign of growth. When you work your muscles to the point of fatigue, you break them down so they can rebuild stronger.
The same principle applies to somatic healing and personal growth. Depth work—whether through hypnotherapy, Breathwork, or grief recovery—can feel challenging. You might feel emotionally fatigued or uncomfortable as you uncover and release old patterns. But just like your muscles, your mind and spirit grow stronger through this process.
At The Guides Holistic Therapies, we’re here to support you through this work. Kimberly, your guide, is in full servitude to your goals, helping you navigate the challenges and breakthroughs of your journey. Our approach is holistic, blending modalities like Breathwork, Reiki, and hypnotherapy to facilitate your transformation.

Breaking free from a rut isn’t a passive process. It requires commitment, courage, and the right support. At The Guides, we create a safe space for you to explore, release, and rebuild. Whether you’re local to La Jolla, Bird Rock, or the greater San Diego area, our doors are open to help you move forward.
Remember, the work might feel challenging at times, but the reward is profound: a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, and connection to your true self. Just as your muscles grow stronger after a workout, so will your spirit as you embrace this journey.
