Your safety zone or your fully courageous self-expression zone?
What you have done for years, or the new and improved way to exercise, work, relate to those you love, or share your message to the masses?

There is no need to face yourself when you realize you are not yet amazing at the skill you want to be amazing at.
There’s no need to put in late nights working on the creative endeavors that mean the most to you. Instead you can just binge on your Netflix or social media accounts . . . or some of that new red wine.

Your full potential has not gone away. Sensing your grand potential can bring discontent because you are not experiencing your higher self through your body and expressing yourself in this world.
That is where the tension is . . .

P.S. I’d love to hear from you below the video. Let me know if you have any tips for managing this tension or questions for me.

These are helpful techniques, thank you Rachael. I have your book too and have read it a couple of times!

Great tools and reminders – I’m going to use these today!
That’s wonderful. Let me know about your experience!
Forgiveness and being truthful with myself. If I can forgive myself instead of dismissing feelings, then ask if my thoughts are true, I’ll have conquered some big roadblocks.
