Help me search out the blocks and barriers within myself. Bring what I need to know into my conscious mind, so I can be free of it. Show me what I need to know about myself.

The Language of Letting Go

It’s so ironic that I was discussing this precise topic with a friend of mine in New York yesterday. We talked about how we have worked on conscious issues, but how subcounscious issues that we are most likely unaware of are fuelling blocks and hesitation in our lives.

I think back to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and realise that if I analyse my responses to scenarios I can pinpoint the beliefs that I hold that place barriers in my path. I can then address them using the tools and techniques that I’m oh-so-familiar-with-now. I feel like I have been doing this work for so long that there can’t be anymore skeletons in my closet, surely?

I suppose every new moment is an opportunity for another self-limiting belief to lodge itself in my subconscious mind, or for an existing one to take up a slightly larger space. I realise that I have been neglecting it all, thinking that a-long-time-ago, I already dealt with this crap.  Time, and life, continuously fuels the monsters in my head and as I reflect, I notice that I’ve let them run wild.

Today, I shall spend some time looking at my blocks, barriers and limiting beliefs…insecurity, abandonment and a need for external validation are the first that pop into mind.
