What’s Blocking Your Success?


You are probably aware that if you are not where you want to be in your life in terms of success – personal, financial, or otherwise – you are blocked. There is something in the way - between you and the results you desire in your life.

In a word – it could be summed up as "YOU"…you are the block that is getting in the way of creating the life you want. You might be thinking it’s about motivation, action, willpower, stamina, or something of the like. Are those things important in generating success in your life? Maybe… But it is important to know that those qualities (and lack of, really) are a by-product of a deeper operating system within you that governs what you create in your life.

What about the blocks that seem to be out of your control? The boss that refuses to see the hard work your doing…or maybe it’s just the economy. It could even be the weather depending on what you have chosen to do. How do you deal with those blocks? The answers are endless certainly, but the good news is – you are still at choice – and the better you get at clearing the blocks you CAN control, the better your whole life seems to flow. Those external circumstances, again as a by-product, start to miraculously clear themselves. Don’t believe me? Keep reading and give it a try.

So, whether YOU are getting in your way – or some external circumstance are in your way – the question is always do I REALLY want to change it? Very important question, because sometimes you don’t really want to clear your blocks as they serve a higher purpose or payoff. And then, if so, what should I do about it?

I want to make the point, that if your life is free- or at least not bogged down by -"blocks" - success and prosperity can to come into your life with ease. Think of your life as a stream. Each time you throw in a rock it creates a ripple. The more rocks you throw in, the more ripples, the more blocks, the harder time the river has being "in flow". Now, throw in a few boulders – and that stream is going to be struggling, and not to mention very slow.

If you would like success to flow freely into your life – you NEED to make sure the rocks – I mean blocks – are removed.

 

Physical Clutter – We live in a physical and energetic universe. If you want the laws of manifestation to work in your life it’s good to mirror "space" and "room" into that energetic universe. Make space in your life for goodness to come in. Literally see yourself removing physical clutter and picking the rocks from your stream as you clean a closet.

Emotional Clutter – ask yourself, "what emotional clutter do I need to handle?" Begin to clear, release, forgive, etc. Journal, talk to a coach, counselor, or read for emotional learning and awareness. It’s a journey – one piece of emotional clutter at a time.

Negative Emotion – "Do I anger easily? Do I hold grudges? How long do I hang onto negative events in my day?" Identify when you are swept up in negative emotion and choose something different. Any negative emotion can jam up the flow of prosperity in your life.


Negative Beliefs About Your Self or the World – This is a huge one, and sometimes the hardest to identify. Not only is it a "block" but it many times provides emotional protection and safety for you. It can be a double-edged sword indeed. Ask, "What do I believe to be true about my self that holds me back from where I want to be? What higher purpose is served for that belief?" Again, work with your coach to get to the bottom of the beliefs that limit you.
Limited beliefs = limited success.


Resistance – any kind. – "Where do I feel resistance in my life or in my body." Give yourself permission to breathe out resistance when you feel it within.

How To Take Action Today

It’s hard – almost impossible - to take on the huge task of removing your blocks all at one time. Start right where you are. Move into some personal awareness and some soul searching. Be truthful with yourself… which may be difficult as your blocks are often times set up to protect you and keep you from what you fear the most, or they are set up to validate your deepest limiting beliefs.

Make sure you keep it simple, and pick one thing in each of these areas to address each day – even with a thought, a reframe, or a positive affirmation. Challenge yourself as you see fit and feel comfortable to do more work in these areas.
