Having a thorn in your foot can be uncomfortable and quite unbearable. If I asked you to walk a hundred yards whilst listening to your favorite song with a thorn in your foot, I can be pretty sure you would not have enjoyed the experience. Pull that thorn out with tweezers and relief is instant.
During our lives, we pick up many thorns in our feet that do not get the same attention. They permeate into our skins and although no longer seen, their impact is costly.
So what are these thorns?
Thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, feelings and interpretations that we have developed throughout life are thorns that are not visibly seen but which are embedded in our bodies. Past experiences with parents, extended family, teachers, friends, partners and colleagues are some examples of how we are currently conditioned to think and act. Catabolic (negative and unhealthy) energy is experienced which produces undesired internal and external results.
How do you know you have thorns?
When you feel fear, hopelessness, apathy, guilt, depression, doubt, worry, frustration, resentment, anger and bitterness you can bet your bottom dollar that thorns are in action.
How you might typically react?
Temper - Can be quite explosive and vindictive. Seek ways for others to lose.
Hiding - Feel worthless and avoid taking action. Feel as though you always lose.
Opportunistic - Take advantage of others. Look to come out ahead of others at all costs.
Restricted - Self-doubt, fear and guilt hold you back. Feel not capable or worthy to break open.
Negativity - Believes failure, rejection & humiliation are normal. No hope for self or others.
How to rid yourself of thorns?
The key is shifting the catabolic (unhealthy) energy to anabolic (healthy) energy. Being aware of what you do promotes a change in attitude and perspective. The resulting actions move you towards functioning optimally.
Working with an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP) will allow you to shift your energy and to capitalize on the anabolic energy. I am confident you will be amazed at the results obtained.
