From Chaos to Clarity: Introducing FLOWmentum™

Updated: Oct 6

Burnout and depression are on the rise

In 2025, 66% of U.S. workers report burnout - especially younger employees -driven by overwork, lack of resources, and return-to-office stress.


If you resonate with this unsettling statistic, you're not alone. In fact, you're exactly where you need to be.


I'm Claudia Masueger, founder of FLOWmentum™, and I understand chaos deeply - not as a destructive force, but as the ultimate catalyst for transformation. I've built multimillion-dollar companies in China, navigated fires, faced burnout, and transformed crisis into clarity. Here's the powerful truth I've discovered:


Chaos doesn't break you - it makes you.


Chaos: Your Hidden Opportunity


William Shakespeare quote: "there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so"

This insight became profoundly clear to me during a pivotal crisis. My first business in China, an import and distribution company, was thriving until one devastating day when our warehouse burned down completely.


CHEERS warehouse fire in China

As I stood watching the smoke rise, feeling utterly lost, driver Lee stunned me by smiling through his tears. "In China," he explained, "fire means good luck and great fortune." At first, this seemed absurd. But his words shifted my perception profoundly.


Fire equals good luck and fortune in China

Instead of viewing the fire as the end, I began seeing it as a fresh start.


This powerful perspective change allowed me to launch my next venture -CHEERS, a wine retail chain. Within months, our new business took Beijing by storm, eventually opening over 160 stores.


This story exemplifies the core lesson of FLOWmentum™: Your greatest crisis can become your greatest potential.


1) Focus on Perception


Perception Shapes Your Reality


Neuroscience backs this up, revealing that our brains exhibit "confirmation bias"—we seek evidence supporting what we already believe. If we perceive our circumstances as hopeless, we inevitably stay stuck. Conversely, seeing opportunities fuels our motivation and creativity. According to Dr. John Demartini, human behavior expert, our experiences are interpreted through our highest values, shaping our entire worldview.


Practical Steps to Shift Your Mindset


One powerful tool I've consistently used to shift my perception quickly is listing benefits hidden within any crisis. I aim to identify between 25 and 200 positive outcomes that can come from each challenge. This includes examining how the crisis benefits critical life areas:


FLOW Harmony Compass: seven spheres of aligned living

FLOW Harmony Compass


  • Higher Purpose

  • Mind

  • Physical Health

  • Family

  • Community

  • Occupation

  • Finance


Practicing this regularly reprograms your mind to see opportunities even in tough times, transforming your reaction from stress to empowered action.


2) Live your Values 


Are You Living Your True Values?


Chaos often signals that we've strayed from our authentic selves. When we hustle endlessly, chasing external validation and neglecting what genuinely matters, we drift further into chaos.


My wake-up call came after months of unexplained tears and deep burnout, signaling I had lost myself in building CHEERS. It wasn't until I realigned with my core values - one being to "Look and Feel Fabulous" - that I reclaimed my health, energy, and passion for life. Defining your core values isn't a luxury; it's a necessity for meaningful, sustainable success.


3) Own Yourself


Own Yourself to Achieve Real Balance


Achieving true self-mastery involves aligning your defined values across every area of life. Neglect in one area inevitably impacts the rest, as I learned through years of sacrificing family and health for business growth. Now, consciously defining my desired life across these key areas ensures balance and authenticity:


  • Clearly define what you want in each area.

  • Regularly revisit and revise your vision.

  • Take consistent, aligned action.


4) Walk Your Vision


Living with purpose goes beyond mere ambition; it involves daily, intentional action toward a meaningful vision aligned with your values. This prevents your vision from becoming an unhealthy obsession, transforming it into a fulfilling pursuit that enriches your life and those around you.


My vision now is clear: to empower high-achievers, especially women entrepreneurs, to navigate chaos confidently and align deeply with their true selves through FLOWmentum™.
