Marelisa I’m pleased that the Sedona method works for you. I use Emotional Freedom Technique to do the same thing. It’s important to clear any lingering feelings that could be tripping us up beyond our conscious awareness.

I completely agree that sometimes our progress is stalled because we get scared and subconsciously start to put on the breaks. I use the Sedona Method to help me release any unconscious beliefs I may be holding that keep me from moving forward, as well as any lingering feelings of fear.

Bean welcome, you’ve found one of the keys to creating space. By consciously letting go of what we don’t want a natural vacuum is created for the things we do want. You’ll have even more space and energy by eliminating your tolerations.

I find that it’s when I let other things go that the things that I truly want and need have more room to enter my life.

Thanks for posing these excellent questions, they’re certainly food for thought. I’ll be thinking about what tolerations I have allowed to stay and in consequence what they may have cost.

Leanne you are spot on in your assessment. It’s never just the money. We need to uncover the attached feelings and make sure that we first feel them and then make sure that we set up a transition that feels emotionally strong. You have set the intention that you will one day be on your own. The next step is to define the parameters of that move. When x and y are this I move. Define x and y and then work towards making it happen.

My situation has a few similarities with Lance’s although I can’t say I really like my job. There are days when I like my job and there have also been days when it I am bored out of my brain.

I am there because I need the money to pay the (large)mortgage, bills etc. My business is my passion. I have only just started my own business and hope to be able to leave my job one day and be self employed.

I realised after reading your post that it is not just financial necessity that is keeping me there, there are underlying emotional reasons related to feeling safe and secure.

I need to be able to fully recognize all of the reasons so that I can be ready to cut my ties and go free as soon as I am able to from a financial point of view and not let emotions get in the way.

Glen there is no such thing as being too emotional my friend. Feelings arise for a good reason. In your case they are probably there to tell you to keep in touch.

Susan you’ll never find me in judgment of another’s work life decisions. Each needs to make those calls for themselves. I remember that movie but mostly the fake orgasm in the restaurant.

The prompt for me was the feeling of obligation. When work begins to feel like something I must do, I know that I’m not being true to myself.

Cath there is nothing silly about it. Sure do gop over their head but also you can change the way you feel about dealing with them. If you’d like a very effective method for doing so, send me an email and I’ll be happy to forward an excellent solution.

Lance yep it’s your choice but you may never feel totally ready to make the leap. You’ll get closer by mentally and emotionally getting more comfortable with it. Also build a financial reserve if you can. It also helps to hang around others who are very positive about the possibilities of work life bliss.

Have you already identified the work that is your passion?

I’ve struggled with this recently. I work at a job that I really like, but I don’t love it, and it’s not my passion. It also pays we well, and helps me to support my family. And that’s where it get tough for me. Do I look to make a break from a job that I truly do like? To take a chance at what I’m finding is a real passion for me? I guess I know the answer, but taking that leap is a leap of faith I’m not ready for yet. Mentally, I’m not prepared. However, it’s reading things like this that give me hope that I can get there. I think it’s going to take a lot of mental preparation on my part, as well as the belief that I can make it happen.

Anyway, thanks, this is what I need to continue hearing.

Hi Tom – thanks very much for the link and for mentioning my comment. In my case, it’s quite silly. I’m owed a lot of money from a former business, but someone who made my life difficult in the past is trying to stop me from getting it.

I know I should go over their heads, but you’re right – it’s the emotional connection of doing so that is really putting me off. Every time I think about doing it, I start remembering how bad that person made me feel in the past. It’s silly I guess, because I’m allowing them to control me still, when I shouldn’t.

I yearn to be excellent and financially comfortable at what I would LOVE to do, however, I am financially comfortable at what I currently do and know/feel so at peace that I am currently doing work that positively impacts peoples’ lives ant that it is a challenge to leave this place to go to “that” place. Have I too picked the low hanging fruit? Perhaps. But it tastes good and has numerous phytochemicals that enriches the health of all involved. The real question for me is what is the prompt for the transition you have made, without burning the bridge. (Timing is everything. Remember the movie of when Harry met Sally?)
Life is short and I treasure it.
