Have you ever felt like you have one foot on the accelerator, wanting to move forward in your life, while at the very same time, you also have one foot on the brake, slowing your life down? Consciously, you want to move forward, yet there is something getting in the way and stopping you.
Have you ever felt stuck in life? You want to get out of it so bad, but nothing is working out!
Let me explain to you the four culprits that put an individual into a Stuck Phase. For that, I want you to imagine a sun. Yes, you got me right—a sun!!!
When you think of the sun, what comes to your mind? Um, heat, energy, brightness, warmth, radiance, sparkling happiness, Vitamin D (uh, of course). Now, what would happen if a cloud goes around the sun? Um, well, it would block sunlight, warmth, brightness, and heat, and basically, you would lose sight of the sun.
So, using the same metaphor of the sun and the dark cloud, let’s shift your focus to the four clouds that stop us from living an awesome life. These clouds create energy leaks in our being that rob us of all our power and eventually put us in a Stuck Phase.
Four Clouds
Negative
Thinking
Negative Emotions
Limiting
Beliefs
Inner
Conflict
The Hidden Barriers To Success
Negative Thinking: Dimming Your Inner Sun
The first cloud that holds us back in life is Negative Thinking, which is, in fact, a naturally occurring phenomenon.
On average, a human goes through 60,000 thoughts; yes, you heard me right: SIXTY THOUSAND thoughts in a day.
When the number of negative thoughts gets higher than the number of positive thoughts, and a person thinks about one negative thought, that leads to another negative thought, and that leads to another one. Now, there’s a chain of negative thoughts that a person cannot break despite doing all he can.
Negative thought patterns can be all-consuming, leaving us stuck and helpless in a never-ending cycle of self-doubt and despair.
Negative Emotions: Extinguishing Your Inner Flame
The second cloud holding us back is what we call Negative Emotions. Okay, so emotions are neither good nor bad; they are there because they make us humans; otherwise, to be honest, without emotions, we would be zombies or robots.
But when the intensity of our emotions becomes negative, and while we control our feelings, our emotions start controlling us, the real problem lies because these negative emotions start harming and disempowering us.
Negative Emotions include Anger, Sadness, Fear, Guilt, Betrayal, Regret, Hurt and Anxiety.
Always Remember: When emotion increases, intelligence automatically decreases, and the inability to regulate and control emotions makes even intelligent people do things that they shouldn’t.
Limiting Beliefs: The Invisible Barrier
Limiting beliefs are what we tell ourselves about who we are, and those beliefs that stop/limit hold us back from becoming who we are meant to be. These beliefs limit us from reaching our full potential. They are very unconscious in nature. We don’t know we have them until someone points them out to us.
Limiting beliefs are statements like, “I am not good enough” …. “I am not capable enough” … “I don’t have enough knowledge” … “Life is too hard” …. “All men are disloyal” …. “I am too young to work” … “I can’t make money” …. “I am too old to start over again,” … “I can never be loved,” etc. All these statements indicate a belief system that is so deeply rooted that it puts a person in the pitfall of self-doubt.
These limiting beliefs do not have any reality, but our unconscious mind presents them to us in a manner that makes them appear real.
Always Remember: ALL LIMITING BELIEFS ARE LIES !!!
Inner Conflict: A Tug of War Within
Have you ever felt an inner war inside you, where one part of your being wants to do one thing or choose one option, and the other wants to do something else? In this state of mind, a person can not decide between the two options and remains stuck, as if this war between two parts of his/her being is tearing the person apart.
For Example, I want to go on a world tour, and traveling is my passion, but I also have to earn money, and I can’t afford a world tour.
Should I remain working as an employee for this company because my job is stable, but I also want to be my own boss and wants to build my own business?
Inner Conflicts are considered the mother of all other clouds. They arise from a person’s unaligned values and usually involve negative emotions, limiting beliefs, and negative thinking.
These are the four clouds that have been developing since our birth, and if not attended to or corrected, they will create huge storms in our lives—storms that will leave us emotionally drained, frustrated, depressed, confused, powerless, and disempowered.
In our NLP training, we work deeply with you and your four clouds to emerge from the other side into paradise. NLP is all about reprogramming our minds so that they start perceiving things differently and more positively, which ultimately results in an empowering mindset and behaviors.
- Negative Thinking Patterns will be converted into positive thinking patterns.
- Negative Emotions will be converted into positive learnings.
- Inner Conflicts would be resolved through Values Realignment work, creating more wholeness.
- Limiting Beliefs would be destroyed from the root cause, and new empowering beliefs would be installed.
NLP Training works extensively on all the aspects that put a person in the stuck phase and help them unstick themselves quickly and effortlessly by creating more ways for them at a very unconscious level. When people start operating their lives from this side of the coin, life takes on a whole new meaning and becomes an empowering experience.
