Empower yourself to move beyond procrastination and get into the flow of life

Years ago, I wanted to write.

I longed to write. In fact, I knew that writing books was my life purpose, and until I could do it, I would never move forward.

But writing was either very hard or simply impossible. I procrastinated. I distracted myself. I did anything but write. Or, if I did manage to get myself to sit down to write, I stared at the blank computer screen until my head ached.

I tried writer’s workshops, writing partners, freewriting, writing in the morning, writing at night…I tried everything.

Nothing worked.

One day, in desperation, I did something I’d never done before. I assumed there must be a part of me that didn’t want to write. I used a Focusing process to invite it in and get to know it better.

I learned so much about change and the ability to move forward that day. By the end, I even felt grateful to the stuckness! Today, writing is part of my livelihood – five books, two manuals, numerous articles… and writing is easy. It flows! And I find it as fun as I always knew it could be.

Since then I’ve worked with hundreds of people on their blocks to action. I’ve found that this process works for all sorts of action blocks (not just writing), really any area where there is something you want to do but don’t do it. What I discovered is that there is almost always a part that is “not wanting” to take action and…

There is always some good reason why the blocking part is refusing to act..

The trick is learning how to listen to that good reason with compassion and curiosity, because once you do, the blocked flow gets moving again. And it’s not uncommon to discover that what you thought you wanted was a small piece of a much larger possibility that you couldn’t even begin to see from inside your stuckness!

Whether you’re struggling to exercise or change your eating habits, can’t seem to make time for self-care, long to pursue a dream but can’t get any traction, or have another sort of stuck action, I’d love to show you how to work with what’s blocking you so you can move forward.
