You keep circling in the same place, and now you have landed in the right one
On the outside, your life works. You deliver at work, you take care of the people around you, and your goals make sense.
Still, something limits you. Your energy is low, change does not stick, and you start doubting yourself. Your issue fills your whole view until you see little else.
On the inside it often goes one of two ways. You are full of grief, sadness or self-loathing, or you feel nothing anymore, as if feeling is switched off.
One part of you wants to move forward and another part holds you back, so you feel stuck and split at the same time. The same reaction returns in meetings, at home, in how you treat yourself.
Your mind works overtime on it. You look for the answer in your head, replay situations, weigh the options and make new plans. You understand your pattern better every year. The insight is real, yet the pattern stays.
A pattern like this has a reason
In my experience, at the core of a pattern sits an emotion that was never met and never released, often from long ago.
Some people are flooded by it, others have closed off from it, and both carry it every day.
Similar situations touch that emotion again, and you react from it. The mind can understand the pattern, but the emotion sits deeper than thought reaches.
That is why lasting change comes from working with the emotion itself. When it is finally met, felt and released, the pattern usually loses its reason to repeat.
What follows is liberation and new possibilities. It feels as if a piece of information that was missing has been added, and your whole system works together. There is more room for joy, peace and love.
