How to Trust Again When Doubt Takes Over ?

“When you catch yourself doubting, don’t resist it—surrender it. Let that moment become a portal back to trust.”

What I remind myself  and people i work with  when the momentum fades and things don't go as expected.. 

You might have been hoping for something to move forward — a relationship to deepen, a promotion to come through, a startup to flourish, or simply for your efforts to finally bear fruit. You felt called, you showed up, maybe even felt the magic of momentum building. But then, somewhere in the middle, the energy disappeared. 

I have been there too.

Yesterday when I sat down to do my creative work, knowing this was my path. But nothing came. I tried. I waited.  I felt I lost the momentum , the spark. I wondered, just last week i had written something with ease. The energy felt so right. And yet, when I returned to the same space expecting the same magic, it wasn’t there.

Emotionally, I began questioning myself — “Am I doing something wrong?”  “Why can’t I find the flow again?” I started trying to recreate the magic. But the more I tried, the more disconnected I felt. And by the end of the day, I realized something powerful: I wasn’t allowing myself to receive. 

In that moment, I couldn’t even sit in meditation. My energy wasn’t aligned. My heart wasn’t open. So I did the only thing I could — I prayed. A simple surrender.

 “Hold me where I am. Help me find trust again. Guide me back to peace.” 

 I slowed down. I breathed. I remembered — I am not alone in this. I called upon my savior, my divine, to lead me gently back to my path. In that moment of sacred surrender — that soft inner whisper — reminded me: 

I am not the wave. I am the ocean.

 And so are you !

Life will give us phases that feel like magic — like we’re riding a wave of joy, ease, or creation.( jab sab kuch badiya chal raha ho !) And then, there will be phases where everything feels paused.( jaise sara magic kahi gaayab ho gaya ho ! ) You may even feel heavy. That’s when our mind starts spinning: Where did the flow go? Will it come back? What did I do wrong? 

But the truth is — the wave was never you. The high days, the momentum, the creativity — they’re all waves. The low days, the doubt, the confusion, even stagnation  — they’re waves too. But beneath it all, there is a deeper self… 

 Unchanging. Whole. Held. 

 You are that too! 

This shift in awareness changes everything. When you remember that you’re the ocean, not the wave, you stop clinging to the highs or resisting the lows. You allow life to move through you. You trust the stillness 

So if you’re in that space today — wondering why it’s not working, why it’s not moving — Please know: even when your human eyes can’t see it, everything is shaping up for your highest good. At the soul level, you are evolving through this challenge. This awareness you have — the frustration, the desire, the surrender — it’s all part of the unfolding. And when you feel most alone, that’s when grace arrives.

Maybe through a friend. 
Maybe in your own stillness, in a quiet breath, in a tear.
Or may be, may be this blog comes as a gentle reminder from the Universe. 

You are being guided. 
You are being held. 
And the next wave of momentum will come — not because you force it, but because you trust.
