Workshop: Clear Your Blocks

What We Covered...

Overcoming emotional blocks and developing emotional savvy can lead to personal growth, success (on your terms), and a thriving lifestyle.

  • 00:00 Clearing emotional blocks can help individuals thrive by removing internal resistance and encouraging wise fearlessness, but it's important to recognize that some blocks may serve an important purpose.
    • Emotional blocks can freeze us in our tracks and prevent us from learning new things, but by recognizing and clearing them, we can move forward without internal resistance.
    • Encouraging wise fearlessness and removing internal blocks can make a huge difference in life, allowing us to be courageous and curious.
    • Clearing emotional blocks can reveal that some blocks serve us, such as a structural block that helps maintain personal integrity and values like consent.
    • Be cautious with your eagerness and don't assume everyone will be receptive, but also don't let limiting beliefs (like "I'm too much") hold you back.
    • EFT Tapping helps us identify and clear blocks that are hindering our progress, but it's important to recognize that some blocks may be necessary for our safety or have a valid reason for existing.
  • 11:34 Overcome blocks and discomfort in life by exploring your emotions and paying attention to yourself and others. Identify and address limiting beliefs stemming from past traumas or parenting to step into vibrations of harmony and joy. Adopt a more adaptable approach to growth and learning, rather than solely valuing success over failure. Success in real life requires practice and hard work, and being comfortable with oneself even in awkward or uncomfortable situations.
    • We can moderate our response based on behavior and context, and we benefit from being conscious of our choices rather than relying solely on our survival brain's black and white thinking.
    • Pay attention to others and yourself, and explore your emotions to overcome blocks and discomfort in life.
    • Identify and address limiting beliefs that are vague and general, potentially stemming from past traumas or parenting, in order to overcome blocks and step into vibrations of harmony and joy.
    • US culture values success over "failure" (learning, growing through experimentation), leading to a survival-based mindset that can be detrimental, whereas a more adaptable approach can lead to growth and learning.
    • Success in real life requires practice and hard work, unlike what is portrayed in TV and movies.
    • To achieve success, it's important to be comfortable with oneself, even in awkward or uncomfortable situations, and to move through these blocks using emotional technology like EFT tapping.
  • 17:49 Anger can be useful but also physically taxing, so it's important to practice processing the energy of anger with savvy and you'll have fewer emotional blocks.
    • Skillful anger can be useful, but it can also have high physical costs, so it's important to take a powerful pause and be open to clarity about what's next.
    • Anger can be useful, clarifying, and authentic when it's needed and helpful, but it requires practice to process it smoothly.
    • Anger can be clarifying and is the purest form of ouch, helping to identify what really matters.
    • Pushing ourselves to experience emotions we haven't felt in a while can be physically exhausting, but taking baby steps can help us get stronger and less taxed by it.
    • Overcoming limiting beliefs and fears through tapping can help individuals pursue their goals and emotions without feeling discouraged or tired.
  • 24:20 Take time to listen to your body and emotions, identify your blocks, and cultivate authentic connections at your own pace.
    • Take baby steps, pay attention to your body, notice progress, and avoid exhaustion.
    • It's okay to feel intense emotions like anger and grief, and seeking support from a coach or community can be healing and less overwhelming.
    • We can be blocked and not want to engage too quickly with new acquaintances due to the fear of misreading them. Consider your physical and emotional safety and be cautious of diving in without checking what's under the surface in relationships.
    • Identify your blocks and give yourself a break to find your own wisdom, even if it's difficult to pick up on it, especially when it comes to making connections with others.
    • Take time to cultivate authentic connections with others at a pace that feels right for you, without rushing or projecting onto them what you think you want, and allow for space and recalibration as needed.
    • Deep relationships don't always have to be the same depth, but it's important to connect and know where each other is at.
  • 33:06 Past experiences that may be causing pressure to be perfect in social interactions. We can stretch our emotional range in order to grow in emotional freedom.
    • Fear of not connecting with people due to past experiences of negative feedback and pressure to be perfect can lead to avoidance of social interactions.
    • It's okay to be a little awkward and not perfect in social interactions, and it's important to recognize if the pressure to be perfect is rooted in past experiences.
    • Stretching our emotional range and experiencing different feelings is important for emotional freedom, even if we feel scared or think we're too old.
    • Beliefs about oneself being "stupid" or "not creative" are often knee-jerk reactions to feeling scared or uncomfortable, and the fact that one is willing to share these beliefs may actually indicate a desire to expand in that direction.
    • Question how limiting beliefs like "I have no value" and "I'm not good enough" might serve to keep us safe until we're more clear and confident.
    • No product is universally suitable for all purposes. 
    • No person is universally suitable for all other people, either!
  • 47:06 Recognize and challenge internalized negative messages, clear blocks by questioning beliefs, appreciate kindness, evaluate values, and take small steps towards feeling content and confident.
    • Internalized negative messages can lead to making oneself less valuable as a coping mechanism, but it's important to recognize and shift this behavior.
    • Clearing a block can be a structural process of getting clear on our core beliefs and values and questioning them to embody what matters and show what is truly valued.
    • Appreciating kindness and generosity is valuable, and acknowledging one's contribution to a shared space can support a feeling of belonging.
    • We can evaluate our values and try to see things from different perspectives to expand our views and step outside of the rigid blocks that we have from our upbringing.
    • Take a seven-minute break.
    • Break overwhelming tasks into small steps or "baby steps" to feel more competent and confident, and focus on taking micro steps towards being content with oneself.
  • 57:26 Focus on finding contentment in your life, celebrate small accomplishments, and use emotional states as a bridge to get where you want to be.
    • Focus on finding an area of your life where you can feel content, even if it's not in the area you desire most to feel satisfied, and celebrate small accomplishments instead of focusing on what you haven't done.
    • Find a moment or activity where you feel more peaceful and use it to recalibrate and bring more presence into your life, allowing you to be more softly eager for the day to come.
    • Use emotional states as a bridge to get where you want to be and create boundaries to have the structural support inside yourself.
    • Set boundaries and practice saying no to people in order to avoid feeling trapped and be able to leave when necessary.
    • To overcome the feeling of being trapped, it is important to identify and prioritize personal values such as freedom and practice saying no or finding playful exits in social situations.
    • If you're feeling uncomfortable or anxious in a situation, it's okay to be direct and say you need to leave, and if necessary, use the excuse of needing to use the restroom or get something to eat or drink.
  • 01:09:20 Tune into your heartistic journey, honor your inner blocks, and collaborate with a supportive community to overcome fears and express your emotional desires.
    • Learning what is our heartistry is a journey, and it's important to tune into the experience and feelings that matter to you rather than getting caught up in a definition of success that doesn't align with who you are.
    • Acknowledging and honoring our inner blocks and inner children can be a sacred and heartistic process of shifting and clearing outdated patterns.
    • Let's collaborate to tidy up and transform our mental blocks with love and appreciation instead of fighting them with willpower.
    • Stop fighting yourself and acknowledge that the part of you that creates resistance is actually trying to keep you safe.
    • Express your emotional desires while identifying and overcoming any blocks or fears with the support of a community like the Thriving Now Circle.
    • Simplify and restructure your life to let more of yourself out and make the world a better place. That's Thriving Now!
