This here, is EPISODE SEVEN.
Join us every Sunday for this weekly audio feature where we get obsessed with helping you create a life that is centered around you. It’s time to become self-FULL.
Discovering The Root.
We all have moments in life where we face unexpected, and sometimes reoccurring, problems in life- and no matter what we ‘do’, they seem to keep resurfacing again and again.
When this happens, we generally focus our attention and energy on what we believe is the most ‘logical’ area that these problems seem to be arising from. Which makes sense on paper… but might actually be hurting us in the long run. For example:
Fight with our spouse? The problem is obviously the relationship.
More money going out than coming in? I must need to work harder.
Feeling overwhelmed at your job? My boss is a jerk.
These might seem like natural ‘causations’- and in a way, they can be. But what if I told you that they probably aren’t the main reason… and the ‘root cause’ actually goes much deeper than that?
Today we’re exploring where our physical problems are really coming from, and how to peel back the layers and assess what is causing these things to keep showing up for you in your life.
Chances are, you might even know what these ‘roots’ are already- and it’s probably something that you’ve been ignoring, putting off or procrastinating for a while.
If that’s the case, then today is going to be exactly what you need to hear.
Go ahead and dive into today’s audio transmission, and then pop down below to the reflection section to think about how you can integrate this further in your life.
Reflection Time.
Take a few moments to sit with today’s audio and think about what this brought up for you. What might actually be the ‘root cause’ behind the problems that you are facing in your life?
Today’s topic requires a lot of introspection and self-analysis. I recommend carving out 30 minutes of your day today or this week, for you to sit in a quiet, distraction-free zone and allow yourself to process this.
If you were to ask yourself, “what is the biggest problem that I am facing in my life right now”, what would that be? What seems to be causing the biggest challenges or headache for you? And where do you ‘think’ that problem is currently originating from?
Now take a step back from that and ask yourself- if this wasn’t actually creating the problem, then what might actually be?
Is there a wound that hasn’t fully healed? A limiting belief that is driving your reactions or actions? A unconscious fear of something in your reality? A lack of boundaries or perhaps not speaking up for yourself?
If you can allow yourself to get still and quiet- I promise you that the answers will come. Personally, I’ve noticed a tremendous shift in my life and certain challenges I was facing (like my weight!) in just a few days, once I fully set down and released the things I was still carrying in my life.
The power of change and getting the results that you want in your life is dependent upon your ability to assess this for yourself- and of course, focus your attention on the root cause of your problems.
Once you’ve moved through the audio and carved time to reflect upon the challenges your facing in your life, drop into the comments below with us and let us know what this brought up for you today.
Let’s continue to support each other on our way to building a self-full life.
