Overwhelm as a block to success

9/28/2012

Sometimes we are afraid of what will change if we get clarity and our resistance gets in the way of our success. Let’s borrow benefits and tap some charge off.

KC: Even though I’m addicted to my routine---I’m afraid if I get clarity my routine will change and I don’t deal with change well
KC: Even though I’m afraid that if I gain clarity I’ll have to change and I acknowledge that I’d
rather be overwhelmed on one level
KC: Even though I want clarity---I also don’t want my routine to change and I acknowledge I feel conflicted and overwhelmed even more

EB: I’m afraid to change
SE: I like my routine
UE: I resent change
UN: I don’t care if it is good for me
CH: I don’t want to
CB: Okay, so I don’t like this overwhelm either
UA: I don’t like to have to be inconvenienced
TH: I’m scared

EB: What if I can’t handle it
SE: What if I don’t like trying new things
UE: What if the new way doesn’t work
UN: All that energy
CH: All that time
CB: No wonder I avoid clarity
UA: What if change and doing it differently
TH: Is what I have to do to gain clarity

EB: What if it is what I need to see what is blocking my success
SE: That’s nonsense
UE: What if---what if it fails
UN: I’ll still be overwhelmed
CH: And, maybe I’ll see a solution
CB: Maybe it will be just the push I need to try something even more outside of my comfort zone to push me into my greatness
UA: If I don’t try I won’t know
TH: Change

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh

CB: I don’t like change and I don’t like my life right now either----what have I got to loose

When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I give myself permission to see what is right about the change instead of what is wrong about the change”

Have a great weekend!
