Releasing Blocks to Action
an on-demand course with Ann Weiser Cornell
to help you find a blame-free way to get things done
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.
― Ann Weiser Cornell
Join me in this course where I’ll show you how to:
- Release the dynamic that holds the action block in place
- Transform the inner critic inside your action block
- Listen non-judgmentally to what’s driving your action block so IT lets go
- Understand the good reason why part of you doesn’t want to do the action
- Explore the bigger possibilities that emerge when you can move beyond action blocks – you might even find that what you thought you wanted was merely a compromise solution
This course could be right for you if:
- You’ve ever felt that you just couldn’t move forward no matter what you tried
- You beat yourself up (a little or a lot) because you feel so stuck and you’d like to stop doing that
- You want to grow in your ability to feel confident you can take the action steps you need to get where you want to go
What You’ll Get:
A series of helpful processes for working through what’s keeping you stuck…
Not only that you’ll also discover how to break free from motivation styles based on being hard on yourself so you can move forward with kindness and self-compassion!
The result: at least a taste of the larger possibilities that emerge for you as you release blocks to action and take your next steps. Plus you’ll get everything you need to repeat the process whenever you feel stuck.
Three weekly modules – Each introduces one or two new skills to help you find a blame-free way to get things done.
The Part of You That Doesn’t Do It
Shifting the language you use to describe your block can open up a whole new perspective and bring in compassion for the blocking part.
Pushing and Rebelling
Discover why the inner struggle can be eternal when you’re stuck between a part that sternly insists and another part that stubbornly refuses…and what you can do to transform those stuck patterns.
Deep Empathy with Both Sides & Moving Forward
Explore how all the parts in your action block want something positive for you. When you can listen to the positive desires of all your parts, a sense of possibility opens up.
