Jump! What’s holding you back? It’s a powerful question we should all ask ourselves.  What’s holding you back from happiness, from the life you desire, from getting yourself out of the rut you are in… basically just fill in the blanks, you know where I am going with this!

Usually we have our default excuses, the usual stuff that pops up and squashes inspirations that hit us from time to time. “I’ll get it when I lose the weight, my life will start when I pay off all my debts, if only I could find a new job, then I could be happy”. Now go a little deeper than that…. somewhere deep inside, you must have an “I can’t” at the root of it, otherwise you would have lost the weight already, paid off all your debts, kicked your terrible job to the curb and started doing something you love. What are you telling yourself you can’t do?

What if you started asking yourself a very simple question instead? What are the possibilities here? What can I do to change my life, starting right now? What resources are available to me that would help me make an immediate change? Who in my life supports me and could help me make those changes?

By asking a question, you open yourself to endless possibilities, instead of saying “I can’t” and slamming the door shut. Start with baby steps, write a couple of the questions that resonate with you, write them on Post It notes and stick them here and there around your house. One on your alarm clock, one on the bathroom mirror, one on the door of the fridge, one on your computer screen, one on the dash of your car. Every single time your eye catches one of those Post It’s, take a moment to ASK THE QUESTION. Just put it out there. And see what comes to you. Open your mind, your heart and your vision to what is possible and see what you can attract to you.

Now here is an important point, it may not be easy to do at the very beginning, but I want you to be extremely aware of your reactions immediately after you ask the question. If you answer your own question with a negative answer or feeling, you have some work to do! You must ask the question and remain open and receptive. If you answer (in your head of course ha ha) with a negative feeling such as resentment, denial, frustration, anything that slams that door on your possibilities, you really have to be aware. If this happens, all you have to do is stop, take a deep breath, re-ask the question, and practice being open for a few moments after, not allowing any negativity to stop you from receiving.

The last step is to stop wishing, worrying and wondering! Stop hoping and start VISIONING your future, BE IN IT, I can not stress this enough. Even if it feels funny to start, you must feel what it’s like to live in your vision of your future self. You will attract those things to you that you are feeling. Again, start off small and work up if that makes it easier.

I am only speaking from my own experience, and only wish to help. I welcome your reflections, experiences and input, we are all in this together. If you would like to further explore the possibilities, and have an open mind in doing so, check out this book by Dr Dain Heer, I found it really empowering to clear out my old negative ways and start asking questions instead. I haven’t taken any other courses or classes from Access Consciousness, but I am interested in adding them to my self development in the future.

So go ahead and JUMP!
