Rethinking Blocks and Self-Sabotage: Understanding Your Protective Mechanisms
If you're into any kind of personal development, you've likely been told you have some kind of subconscious, mysterious“block” that's causing you to self-sabotage - stopping you from being the rich, sexy, successful person you want to be.
But what exactly IS a BLOCK? And if it's subconscious, how can you ever know what it is or how to get rid of it?
Ultimately, the whole concept of a block feels dismal at best. So what to do?
In this episode, we're giving an alternative perspective on personal blocks, one that's much more self-compassionate and empowering. Not only will you have a way of accessing what's been holding you back, but loving it for keeping you safe and alive all these years.
Once you understand these beautiful parts of yourself, “getting rid of your blocks” becomes a whole lot easier and a lot more fun.
