This workshop is to help you to identify your invisible blocks or limiting beliefs.

TWO Freewriting

 

Next it is time to do some freewriting. If you aren't familiar with freewriting, it is a way of accessing how you really feel or what your true thought patterns are. It can help you to unravel complicated patterns that you aren't even aware are going on. It is important that you write in your own hand, typing won't allow the process to develop. You can write in a notebook or journal or just on paper. I have created a worksheet you can print and use if you feel it is helpful. So now you are ready to translate the metaphors that came up for you in the visualisation. They might represent a belief, thought process, self-sabotaging behaviour or a person. So, there are three questions to consider, set a timer for 5-10 minutes for each one and just write without allowing yourself to pause. If you pause you begin to question your answer but by keeping going a lot of truth can be revealed. Here are your questions:

1. Think right back to your past, when the path ahead was clear, how did your blocks get there? Who put them there?

2. Now think about the present. How do your blocks manifest themselves? Is it a case of procrastination, self sabotage or something else?

3. Now imagine your beautiful block free future; where have your blocks gone? How did you get rid of them? And, importantly, how does it FEEL to be free of them?

Write your answers in your journal or you can print the sheet below and write on there, remember it must be in your own hand, no typing! 

 
 
 

THREE Colour or paint the worksheet

Download and print the worksheet below and paint or colour it in. I have kept it very simple for a reason - your situation is unique to you. You can add trees or buildings, people or other vehicles. Or just use colour to add perspective and show you insights. It is when we allow ourselves to relax into a creative activity that the solutions to problems and the answers to questions can pop up out of nowhere, listen out for them as you paint or colour. Make notes along the way, either on the worksheet itself or a separate sheet. Keep in mind the visualisation and what came up in your freewriting. As you paint or colour, imagine yourself going forward and leaving your obstacles behind. How do you achieve this and can you create a plan for it?
Most importantly, what is the thing in the way? 
When you are working on your image, are the things you are adding the same as you visualised? 
Often, when we start to put things into images or form them on paper, we realise that what we thought we felt, isn't always the same as what is just below the surface. Or we feel a certain way about something because someone once told us to, and it doesn't sit comfortably with us any more. 

Can you give your obstacle a name, a colour, an emotion or feeling?  Is it another person, or a situation from your past, or something else? Once you have begun to identify it, look at how you can either remove it or get around or past it. Maybe you need to go through it.

In your mind, consider your obstacle in your real life situation. Why are you stuck behind it?
If you don’t feel you can move it by yourself, what or who can you ask for help? 

How can you keep on going along the road to your dream?
