How’s your life? Is it unfolding the way you envisioned it? Are you happy, satisfied, fulfilled, successful? How does your current life align with the life you’ve dreamed of?
If it’s not, what’s in the way? Circumstance? Other people, etc? Have you ever really sat down, and taken the time to honestly figure out what might be in the way from living the life you envisioned?
Could we be in our own way? We carry around thoughts, opinions and ideas that have been with us for a lifetime. They are ingrained in us, and they are so much a part of us that we aren’t aware of them. We call these BLOCKS!?Blocks present as limited thinking, also known as limited beliefs, which are based on what we believe to be truths. Some of these truths are based on assumptions, which say if something didn’t work before. why would it work this time? Can you see how that might stop you from starting?
How do we interpret situations? Situations are seen through the filters of our lives. Imagine seeing a sunset through tinted glasses. The colors that you experience are not the true colors but because you see them through those glasses, this is the way the sunset, or any situation, appears to you.?
We also carry around doubts as to whether we are good enough. For what? For whatever it is we want to do. That ever-present chatterer in our head tells us many things, and they are not the thoughts that support us or urge us on to greater heights. That chatterer wants to keep us down. Maybe to help us from being embarrassed or let down. It tries to keep us from failing by having us not even start. As these thoughts are in our heads, they tell us things to keep us safe, and even sound like us, we choose to listen.?
We don’t have to listen to those voices! These voices that are holding us back are examples of limited thinking, assumptions and interpretations. We call these blocks. These blocks work hard at keeping us from being all that we can be.?It just takes a little mindfulness to chip away at their effectiveness, and build the life we see for ourselves. We do this consciously, and consistently. Then we live our lives on purpose and with passion!?

3 年I find that who I surround myself with significantly adds or removes blocks in my own life. When I'm around positive people who are big-thinkers, I find myself doing the same, and vice-versa. Thanks for the great article. Sholud be a great event.

3 年Great thoughts wondering what my blocks may be??

3 年Great perspective, Natalya! I recently did an exercise where I tracked my unhelpful judgements and turned these into opportunities for reframing my "new truths". It was incredibly valuable.
