Fear, sadness, jealousy… Sometimes certain emotions overwhelm us and prevent us from moving forward. Freeing yourself from what blocks us allows you to regain better self-confidence.
- Becoming aware of your blockages is the first step in trying to free yourself from them.
- Anything that makes us sad and prevents us from moving forward can be considered a blockage.
- The process of liberation can take time because it requires the establishment of a new functioning of thoughts with new beliefs.
While it’s normal to make mistakes, feel guilty or feel hurt by others, we all tend to lock ourselves in a mental prison that blocks us and limits our self-confidence. Freeing yourself from it means being able to move forward and get to know yourself better.
Start by becoming aware of what blocks us
Being able to identify your blockages gradually allows you to free yourself from them. These can be negative feelings towards oneself, depression, perfectionism, fears, sad memories, mistaken beliefs, emotional dependence on others, or jealousy, for example. Anything that makes you sad and prevents you from moving forward can be considered a blockage.
Breaking free from blockages takes time
Once identified, the release process takes time as it often requires new learning to replace previous functioning and beliefs.
For this, the accompaniment of a professional such as a psychologist or a psychiatrist, but also the reading of books concerning the subject or the listening of podcast for example can help to think differently to restore sufficient confidence and to get rid of a operation that was hurting us.
Patience and work on oneself are therefore the key to overcoming blockages and learning to appreciate what makes us happy.
