OBSTACLES TO PERSONAL GROWTH

Growth and Change is essential for your development as a person. Without change and growth, you are assured of staying just the way you are and doing things just the way you have always done them. For some people, that's a good thing; they're happy and fulfilled in their lives. But for many people, the current path they are on lacks meaning and satisfaction and they feel stuck. They want to change, but can't seem to figure out how to change.

The reality is that change is difficult. How difficult? Well, given the robustness of the self-help industry and the fact that no one has yet come up with a definitive path to change, the answer is "extremely difficult." Add in the low success rates on everything from New Year's resolutions, stopping smoking, and losing weight to improving self-esteem, decreasing  anxiousness and having better relationships, and the picture is not at all pretty.

Part of the problem is that the self-help industry has distorted our perceptions of change, leading many to believe that change should be easy and should happen quickly and with little effort. Of course, the caveat to this claim is that change will only occur, supposedly, if you buy the books or DVDs, attend the lectures or workshops, or invest time, energy, and, of course, money. In reality it's about gaining an understanding of what it really takes to produce meaningful and long-lasting change in your life.

On the face of it, change doesn't seem like it should be that difficult. If there is something that you don't like about yourself, just change it. But the reality is that profound change can be slow, frustrating, and painful, filled with struggles, setbacks, and disappointment. Whether you want a more positive view of yourself, be a better spouse, strive for professional goals, or deal with stress more effectively, spiritual growth will produce change, it is the most difficult-yet rewarding-thing you will ever do.

So why is change so difficult? One explanation, is to have the goal to shift our life path, to change from a seemingly impossible task to one that feels at least within your grasp.

Four Obstacles to Change An unfortunate aspect of life is that we often create obstacles, usually unconsciously, that may serve some sort of immediate purpose, but end up being long-term liabilities. These barriers are often driven by some of our most basic needs, for example, to feel competent, to be accepted, to feel in control. Regrettably, these obstacles become intractable and end up preventing people from changing (or even attempting to change) when they shift from being beneficial to being burdensome.

Baggage. Like all of us, you bring good things into adulthood from your childhood. And, as a human being, you probably also bring some not-so-good things, what is commonly called your "baggage." The most frequent types of baggage include low self-esteem, perfectionismfear, need for control, anger, and need to please. This baggage causes you to think, feel, and behave based on who you were as a child rather than the very different person you are now as an adult. Most of this baggage causes you to react to the world in an unproductive way that can sabotage your efforts to achieve positive life changes.

Habits. When you experience thoughts, emotions, and behavior that are driven by your baggage with enough frequency, they become deeply ingrained habits that dictate how you act on and react to the world. These habits are much like athletes who practice bad technique. This poor technique becomes wired into their "muscle memory" and comes out in competition. Similarly, when your baggage becomes ingrained as habits, they produce seemingly reflexive response even when they are neither healthy or adaptive. The challenge is that, again like athletes, once habits are ingrained, it is difficult to retrain them. In higher consciousness we call these habits limits or blocks to your healing and abundance. These are foundational wounds which interfere with our ability to envision our dreams and desires. These blocks stop us from aligning with our Creator, which stop our creativity and the ability to co -create our passions. There by relegating, each of us with these limitations to maintain mundane life’s with little joy or regard for others. You cannot get what you don’t believe in, you cannot give what you don't have. You are basically holding an empty cup!

Emotions. Negative emotions, such as fear, anger, sadness, frustration, and hopelessness, can act as a powerful deterrent to changing your life. For example, many people don't change out of the fear of failure. They might think, "What if I can't change, then I'll prove myself to be even more of a failure than I am now." They then say, "I've been this way for a long time and I'm getting by, so it's not worth the risk." These negative emotions create doubts and substantial barriers to change by being triggered whenever you feel uncomfortable, incompetence, or unsupported. And the only relief is to retreat back to the way you have been. When you consider everything is about energy and the frequency you live in, you realize emotions initiate your feelings and thoughts and create your reality. You are the master of your own life. Hence the saying you make your own heaven or hell! This is the lowest density that we exist in the third dimension. Lower frequencies become a vacuum where there is no creativity no ability to create, void of light and love, possibility’s.

Environment. You create your environment that helps or not, best manage your baggage, habits, and emotions. You choose who you will surround yourself with, people who are helpful or supportive of the way you want to be. This will and can make you feel comfortable and safe. Or you could do just the opposite, surround yourself with people who are envious and jealous, and only seek to tear you down and keep you stuck mainly because they are too. But if you engage in activities that play to your strengths and help you either mask or mitigate those obstacles. Our environment reinforces who we are, even when you don't want to be influenced in negative ways, it can cause you to continue down a path that interferes with your happiness, achievements, karmic relationships interfere and trigger those weaknesses in us that delay or sabotage our goals for our higher good and souls growth. This environment may, at a minimum, not support change or at worst, discourage change.In all four cases, when you allow these obstacles or relationships to influence, tempt or control your life, they have the effect of sabotaging your efforts at changing your life in a forward positive way. The biggest defense you have against these things is to be aware of them to self reflect and see these things as they are happening. Being consciously aware of our baggage, habits, environment, and the karmic relationships that keep us stuck and in self sabotaging mode-is the first part of healing, any of these obsessions and addictions. But the healing doesn't stop there. You truly have to be in the mode of reflection and every time these things come up, you need to self reflect not act out, set up healthy boundaries and reprogram your mind thur affirmations, prayer and meditation In essence you rewrite your story, it is the awareness and spending time in your subconscious to bring these things into your consciousness that allows you to heal. We do this through meditation and by self reflection, whenever we are triggered in a negative way by some thing, someone or an event. It gives us an opportunity not only to heal, learn and grow, but to forgive, love unconditionally and express gratitude. This process will raise your frequency. It will raise your vibration and move you into higher states of being. It will attract healthier relationships towards you. It will attract better opportunities for success towards you. It will put you into the frequency of love, which will change your whole life.
