Dissolveblockages

Making decisions, tackling things, taking a new path, taking a risk and putting all our eggs in one basket, deciding against one thing and for another – these are all things where we can block ourselves without realizing it. Subliminally, we may be afraid that we won’t achieve what we set out to do. If this is the case, we feel thwarted by a diffuse lack of motivation, a lack of drive or are torn between optimistic motivation and doubtful thoughts. There are numerous strategies that can work completely unconsciously to prevent us from taking action. These include, for example, distraction maneuvers in which we put other things first and immerse ourselves in something completely different. Then it just doesn’t come up again or we simply don’t have the time, even though we would love to finally do XY. Emotional blockages can even go so far as to trigger psychosomatic complaints such as headaches, stomach aches, tension in the neck and shoulders or sleep disorders. These physical problems then serve as a seemingly uninfluenceable circumstance that prevents us from doing what we would actually have liked to do.

But it can also be about mental blockages in quite banal things such as approaching a person we like. If you are inhibited, the flirting attempt will probably not be successful. You can put it down to your shyness. But it’s actually a psychological block because we believe we can’t do something or because we don’t value a part of ourselves and are afraid that the other person might recognize this when they get to know us better. So we use an emotional blockade to ward off any danger in advance and divert our path in a wide arc, keeping a safe distance from the destination we actually want and fear. In this way, we make absolutely sure that we don’t end up in a situation that seems uncontrollable to us.

The fear associated with the blockade contains certain beliefs about ourselves that restrict our scope for action. Although these assumptions are negative, they were created with a positive intention. The thought of not being good enough ensures that this person makes an extra effort. However, being good enough is then always attributed to the effort. The belief that they are not good enough as a person persists. This blockade must be overcome in order to be able to act freely and thus realize oneself. To do this, it is necessary to identify how or when the fear arose and why it is frightening for the person when they are inadequate.

So it is not adverse circumstances that prevent us from achieving our goals, but the mental blocks we carry within us.

If a mental block stands in your way, it prevents you from taking proactive action and making progress. Instead, you are slowed down or even made to tread water. This tells you quite clearly that there must be an emotional block. But recognizing what exactly is causing the blockage is usually much more difficult. This is because the cause of an inner blockage usually lies in the unconscious. However, it is not impossible to get to the source of the blockage on your own. And once the blockage has been identified, it is already half eliminated. If you know the reasons for the blockage, you have a starting point from which you can get to the root of the problem.

If mental blockages are ignored, they ensure that we always have the same negative experiences in the blocked aspect of life and, figuratively speaking, run into the wall again and again. Once the blockage has been removed, the path is clear to move forward in the previously problematic area of our life, to have experiences – especially positive ones – and to achieve things. This allows us to develop further and really move forward in life again.
