The Four Wellness Blocks

In this Blog:

Have you ever set a wellness goal - meditate more, eat better, move your body - only to quietly abandon it two weeks later?

We often think we have failed yet again and get into a “I must be a problem” shame spiral. And start towards the same goals, again and again. I’ve felt this many times.

OR we stop trying because we just can’t ever get it right which can lead to a quiet voice inside that says, “I can’t ever do anything right”.

Public Service Announcement

This is not failure. There is nothing wrong with you. This is completely normal.

In my years of working with clients, I’ve found there are 4 reasons this happens - and none of them mean you’ve failed.

Once clients identify which blockage is at play, the shift is often immediate.

There are 4 reasons why this could be happening.

Resistance - an unconscious protective response to change

Alignment issue - pursuing a “should” instead of genuine desire

Lost motivation - disconnection from your original “why”

Unsupportive systems - the environment and habits around you aren’t set up to support the goal.

Instead of spiraling into shame, choose to shift.

Ask yourself some questions:

Is there a part of me that doesn’t want to change, even if it’s good for me?

Is this even what I desire or is this something I feel I should do?

What is my motivation behind this?

How can I change my system to better support me?

Curiosity opens doors for possibility. It gives us a chance to be honest with ourselves.

This is how I have been helping clients for years. Not through shaming - but by getting curious together. When we do we often discover we’re not the problem at all. It’s a perspective shift, it’s asking why this is important, it's the system around us that needs tweaking and it’s always workable.

Stay tuned because in the next emails I will expand on each of these 4 wellness blockages.

In the meantime reply back and let me know which of these 4 wellness blockages are currently affecting you and how? I read and respond to every email personally.

With wellness,
