The 3 Things that Might Be Getting in Your Way

By Kimberly Schneider | August 17, 2010

Every time I connect with someone, whether on a coaching call, a Facebook exchange or at an event, they almost always want to know the same thing:

“What am I doing wrong?”

So, here’s the good news:

You’re not doing anything wrong.

Yes, you’re creating your own reality.

And if there are some things in your current reality that are a little
(or a lot) uncomfortable, then you can give thanks.

Because they are there to nudge you toward what you really want:

A better relationship.

More joy.

Passion for life.

Work that reminds you why you’re alive.

Vitality in your body.

Laughing so hard that you cry.

Abundance.

Freedom.

So, no matter what’s happening in your life right now, I can promise you, it holds the seeds for the glorious garden that is the life you want.

How can you water the seeds?

What can you do to nurture them into fruition?

First things first:  have some compassion for yourself.

Develop what the Buddhists call maitri (total self-honesty married to self-compassion).

When you cultivate maitri, it gives you the power to say “yes, I might want to do that differently next time”–without drowning in the abyss of judgment and self-blame.  It gives you the power to act consciously, instead of habitually.  And that’s pretty cool.

And then you’ll have the presence of mind to notice whether you’re caught in one of the 3 big obstacles to getting what you want.

What are those obstacles?

I’ll tell you all about them on this week’s Conscious Manifesting radio show.  You can listen or download it at no charge right here, right now:

Enjoy and let me know what you think! You can also download previous shows at the “archived” link.  And then, if you live in or near St. Louis, read on because I have an announcement for you:
