3 Hidden Blocks Standing Between You and Your Goals

You can make a BIG leap towards achieving your goals by recognizing and removing blocks you may not realize are standing between you and your goals.  

There are "obvious" factors that can affect the outcome of your goals, such as no clear vision and no action plan. However, hidden blocks can cause long-term delays and setbacks because you are unaware they exist.  

Here are 3 hidden blocks for you to recognize and release:

Incessant (Negative) Mind Chatter. This hidden block is high on the list because it is an unconscious habit -- quite often you are unaware you are doing it. Negative mind chatter can flood your brain from the moment you wake until you go to bed. Not only are you constantly judging and criticizing yourself; complaining about your life; living in the past; worried about the future and comparing yourself to others, you are doing the same thing to the people around you.

Mind chatter is a block because when you generate each of these thoughts it is the equivalent of writing a chapter in the book of your life. Put another way, your thoughts are creating your future. When you become aware of these thoughts, release them by sending out verbal or mental intentions, such as "You have served your time here. I thank you and release you" or "Only positive thoughts are welcome here. I set you free." Think of it as cleansing your soul of toxins.  

Withholding Forgiveness. This is another biggie. You are a spiritual being living a human experience and along the way you will encounter many life lessons. One such lesson is forgiveness. When you forgive you open your heart -- and an open heart attracts love and miracles.  

Withholding forgiveness (including forgiveness of self) weighs you down and holds you back in many areas of your life. To set yourself free, do not think of forgiveness as condoning the other person's actions, think of it as detaching from anger, hatred, and resentment so you live from peace. Note: Forgiveness can be a process, so feel free to email us to request a free consultation about our Forgiveness and Healing sessions.

Not Following Your Heart. In his famous 2005 commencement address, Steve Jobs advised "And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." Not listening to your heart can result in painful indecisiveness. Although you know what you want, you see impossibilities and obstacles (age, money, time, distance...), and your fear overshadows your faith.  

Your heart is your compass. When you allow it to guide you, you achieve your goals because you are doing what you were meant to do. The road may not always be easy, but your future self will be grateful you listened to your heart.  

You have the POWER to release these blocks and make huge strides toward your goals, so start taking action now.
