Trigger: I hate my job, and my wellbeing is sacrificed because of it.
Wow! Even if you are aware of a trigger such as this - alignment can feel overwhelming to consider, let alone achieve. Do I quit my job? What about rent? What about my brother’s excitement that I was finally his business partner? What if every job feels this way, and even if I changed positions I’d end up with the same trigger time and time again?
Roadblocks are the beliefs, actions, or mindsets that hinder our ability to act in alignment after the experience or awareness of a trigger. In other words, roadblocks prevent us from acting in alignment with our most authentic self. They often capitalize on fear and scarcity, and can feel POWERFUL if left unexplored. (Have you seen “The Babadook”?)
&& I have good news: if we have the courage to voice and explore our roadblocks, they become just another piece of data to consider in the MUCH larger picture.
For example: “What about rent?” is lack of resource roadblock, and it is, indeed, useful information to consider. However, that data point alone would not necessitate continued work in your current, ill-inducing job. Where else could you produce income? Could you move to a cheaper home, or a less expensive city? Where can you cut back in your budget, such that rent becomes a non-issue? Do you value expensive material goods, or work you are passionate about? (Do you believe that has to be an either-or question?)
It may be beneficial to initiate support during the exploration of such trigger/roadblock tandems.
&& I have more good news. That’s what I’m here for!! That is also what friends are for, and inspirational podcasts, and nature walks and chalkboards and coloring books and, yes, PUPS!
