3 Reasons your past is holding you back.

 3 Reasons your past is holding you back.

Every single one of us has a past that contains various things like heartbreak, trauma and hurt. Imagine that each one is a rock that you have put in a backpack, now put that backpack on the front of your body and go and try hug someone important to you or shake the hand of a work colleague. That's your past getting in the way of connection and therefore your relationships, with family, friends, colleagues, strangers etc.

Here's 3 reasons why your past gets in the way and is holding you back.

1. Unaware.
You haven't yet uncovered the source of your wounding, the hurt, the betrayal. Whatever is activated when you feel triggered by someone or something. 
That's a clue to ask yourself "Why am I feeling triggered by this?" "When did I first feel this way" "Who was I with at the time?"

If you take a look over time you will see a pattern.

Very rarely is what triggered you about the present.

2. Unhealed Wounds.
You haven't allowed yourself or been willing to really dig out the wound once and for all and let it scar over. You keep putting band aids on it, hoping that one day the bleeding will stop and you will feel better or it will go away.

It does take being in the right space and time to do this work, sometimes decades after but the sooner you do, the sooner you can really heal the wounds of the past.

3. Not Let Go.

This one seems to be one of the biggest for most people. They just refuse, for whatever reason to let it go or let it be.

Here's the thing, whatever the event of the past, its done. It's over. It cannot be changed so you can choose to keep holding onto it or you can choose to let go or let it be.

I hope this resonates. If you would like to do some work on this, I invite you to book in a free 30min breakthrough session via the appointments page or simply email me to set something up.
