What’s Stopping You From Creating Your Dream Life?
By Tammra Broughton
Recently, I decided to I open up this question to my Facebook network of about 2700 people to see how they would respond:
“If you had to choose only ONE thing, what would you say is stopping you from really stepping into creating your dream life?”
After 17 years of working with people and their health and in the last 6 years, working with the amazing techniques and tools from *NLP, Hypnotherapy, Timeline Therapy™, both for myself and with clients, I see similar stories & beliefs coming up.
From my own experience as a practitioner, and what I have seen work well, I have offered some questions and solutions in the table below.
| A. Faceook Responses | B. Hypnosis Question? (Write out your answer on paper) | C. Hypnosis Integration Affirmation (Post the statements to your mirror and say out loud looking at yourself) |
| Fear. | Fear of What? If there was a miracle tonight, how would you know? | I love knowing that I am safe and protected. I love how it feels to trust myself now. |
| Fear of failure. | What would you do if you could absolutely not fail? | I love how it feels to to open the doors to my dreams and walk confidently through them. |
| For me it is not manifesting financial wealth- though the rest of my life is rich beyond words. I have been stuck on this for a while. | How much surplus do you want to generate this year and what will you do with it? What if I gave you a magic wand and you could un-stuck yourself, how would you live your life now? | I love seeing myself (your answers from B) More and more I trust that my words can ground and guide me to financial wealth and I am listening closely for directions. |
| Fear of not being able to pay rent while I create and write my stories. I’ve tried to work for money and maintain creativity, but I become a slave to the dollar each time and most of my time is spent in obligation to “my job” which inevitably is a toxic experience, affecting every aspect of my life in a negative way. | How would you know if that wasn’t true? | I am excited at the thought of writing a new fantastic story about my own mega-success and how I am open to receiving money. I come from clean source energy and money comes from clean source energy. I love how it feels to give and receive money energy. |
| Fear of my own greatness is what stops me. | What would being great get you that you don’t otherwise have? | Little by little, step by step, and when I am ready, I can see myself softly stepping into my greatness. I love knowing that I have enough greatness right now Inside of me. I am great! |
| I think for most it is listening to the negative voice in their head saying, ‘It’s not possible’ or ‘You don’t deserve it’. | Have you ever seen someone like you, make the impossible possible? What if you found that you did deserve it, what would you do now? | More and more I am becoming aware of my own self-talk and that I can change the words into highly positive words now. I love how it feels to softly reassure my inner child that everything is ok now. |
| My fear is fear of success and how it would change your life…so I sabotage myself in order to stay small. | How do you “do” the sabotaging of yourself, what are the steps? List them in order: first ___ happens, then I…… then I… What if you were very successful and life could still be small and beautiful, simple and quiet? | I’ve decided to change my strategy to being successful. I love how it feels to make a big difference in small, loving, quiet and very effective ways. |
| For fear of losing what I have in the present. | How do you stop yourself from being calm? What are you like when you are doing your best? What if the present lasts forever? | I love seeing myself live in the present knowing the present is a gift and each moment is sacred. More and more I am going with the flow, like a river over a bed of river rocks, I am flexible and this allows everyone around me to feel safe too. |
| The contracts I wrote earlier in life… ‘I am not good enough, not beautiful, not fit, not smart enough’ etc. They were contracts I wrote when I experienced something repeatedly negative and even though I wrote those contracts long ago I still battle some of them today. | I wonder if you could bring out (or write out) those contracts again now. I wonder if you could take those “contractions”, thank them for what they have shown you. What if you set them on fire. What would it be like if you re-wrote these contracts into positive agreements instead. What would the new agreements say now in the face of adversity? | I am the leader people are looking for. I love the idea of looking in the mirror and loving what I see. More and more I “real-eyes” I have the re-Sources within myself to be smart again now. Smart is state of mind and I am mindful. |
| What holds me back is probably fear of what others think. | Hold you back from what? Are you sure you know what others think? How do you know what they are thinking? What specifically are they thinking about? Is it possible that others think the same thing about themselves? What if what they think is actually what you think of yourself? | I have decided to change my inner dialogue. I love how it feels to love and be myself. I love the idea of removing the chains I have put on myself and allowing myself to be free. |
| From a professional level, lack of funds and from a personal level lack of confidence. | What could the professional teach the personal. What could the personal teach the professional? What if the reSources and skills from each person were the same? How do you manage to stay in lack? How “do” you do lack? Is what you are working on right now getting you closer to your bigger financial goal? | I love the idea of paying myself first as this is an investment for my future. I love the idea of becoming conscious of what I am grateful for and this amplifies energy that attracts abundance. I love how it feels to change my song and dance around money. I am excited about my new money song. |
I would like to thank the people above for so bravely sharing their answers. Your healing is the healing of the world. It’s not always easy but it’s very doable. L.O.V.E. Living One Vibrational Energy To-Gather…
