I hear it all the time.

Your work, your relationships, your business or other aspects of your life are just not flowing smoothly. You know change needs to happen, and you want it to. You want to find some ease and flow and you're just not sure how to.

You can't let your intuition shine because you don't trust it. You feel it deep in your gut or hear it or see it in your mind's eye as clear as day, and somewhere deep you know it's true, but your life experience has taught you not to trust it.

You learn all kinds of things from other people, especially as a child. You've picked up their habits, their beliefs, and their expectations of you. It becomes like a weight around your neck and you want it GONE!

You are afraid of hurting someone else's feelings, letting them down, or being judged, so you edit your words and sugarcoat what you really think. On some level you know this really isn't helpful, you're just not sure how to change the habit.

As a child you were taught, "Children should be seen and not heard." Only you being "seen and silent" followed you well into adulthood. You have strong opinions but don't share them because of that childhood programming.

There are times that you don't know how, but deep in your bones you KNOW something is true. Maybe it's a voice in your head, an image, a feeling, or a physical sensation. The feeling freaks you out and you decide you'll be called crazy so you keep it to yourself. Then later on exactly what you knew would happen, did.

You hold yourself back from doing things that really make you happy, maybe you'll be judged or you'll have to defend yourself, and it's easier to just hold back.

You see yourself living out the same patterns that others in your family have. (Sometimes called generational curses.)

You feel totally out of control when it comes to creating a happy life for yourself.
