Bliss Blockers...

Bliss Blockers

By: Sara Ban Breathnach

Wanting what you can't have
Not wanting what you do have
Seeing the world as hostile
Believing life is hard
Over reliance on outside circumstances to initiate change
Believing that money is the answer
Believing you're unlucky
Believing things will never change for the better
Exhaustion
Not eating well
Not exercising
Not listening to your body
Continuously finding fault with your body
Feeling unworthy of happiness, love and success
Not knowing who you are
Not knowing what you love
Self-loathing
Not recognizing addictive behaviour patterns or dependence
Workaholism in the name of getting ahead or staying on top of things
Perfectionism
Lack of humour
Inability to laugh at oneself
Shyness in social situations
Lack of spontaneity
Thinking you're too inexperienced
Pretending you are more experienced or worldly then you are
Believing the world will fall apart if you're not holding it together
Inability to ask for or receive help
Inability to be part of a team
Inability to say No gracefully
Needing to please
Seeing everything as competitive
Confusing being argumentative with being articulate
Always needing to be right
Putting others down so you can feel superior
Not trusting your intuition
Not following your dreams
Believing other people's second guesses are better then your first
Making a promise you dread
Making promises you know you won't or can't keep
Making promises just to keep the peace
Thinking worrying will make it better
Inability to relax
Confusing fatigue and laziness
Procrastination
Inability to self-motivate
Impatience
Rushing
Disorganization
Surrounding yourself with negativity
Remaining in toxic relationships
Setting unrealistic expectations for yourself
Setting unrealistic expectations for others
Looking at the world through a lens of lack
Lack of curiosity
Lack of faith
Lack of wonder
Lack of gratitude
This week pick just one bliss blocker (start with the one that maked you wince when you read it) and see if you can't exchange these controlling habits with those of contentment.

So true!!!!
