Is There An Invisible Barrier Stopping You?

For most of us, there is an invisible barrier – an inner shield that keeps us from making the kind of impact we were meant to make in the world. Generally that shield is trying to protect us from something. It is rarely logical which is why we can’t use the left side of our brain to plow through it. (as much as we would like to).

And actually plowing through it can lead to dis-ease because the body is trying to protect you from something and it will start out whispering and then get louder and louder if you don’t pay attention. An example of this could be mild gastric distress that turned into a stomach ache and then into ulcer or irritable bowel syndrome. Another example would be mild fatigue that eventually turns in chronic fatigue.

Allergies are another example. I recently learned that my sensitivity to petroleum was due to taking on other’s people sludge. I have cured my sensitivity to perfume and insect bites by looking at what my body was trying to tell me as well. I cannot claim that 100% of dis-ease is due to not listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us – but it is a very big part.

Many people do not try to plow through their invisible barrier – it is too uncomfortable so they just avoid it. They don’t really try to make a bigger impact and settle for playing small. They can justify their playing small with a lot of statements such as:

  • If I grow my business, I’ll have to give up time with my family – not if you learn to do it smart
  • I can’t charge more because I want to make my services available to everyone, it’s the spiritual thing to do –  you can have different levels of services or product packages for all income brackets
  • I have to work with one person at a time to make a real impact – you would be surprised at the little things you do that make a real impact everyday
  • I can’t start my own business right now, because… the list of possible reasons is endless

The list of justifications for playing small or procrastinating goes on and on. None of the above statements are true. They are simply a belief that is likely covering up an invisible barrier that keeps you from making the kind of impact you were meant to make.

What is it YOU want to attain and what is the reason you tell yourself you can’t?

Being a Peaceful Entrepreneur is not about staying in your comfort zone. Rather it is about moving forward toward your goals, learning to do it smart, noticing what comes up that makes it uncomfortable and finding tools and people to help you release those blocks so you can move forward from a peaceful place.

The most interesting thing I’ve learned over the past 6 months is that it may not even be our own issues that are causing the invisible barrier to block us from having, doing and being our best. It can be from taking on other people’s energy (i.e. emotions, beliefs, etc).

If you are empathic like me you can take on someone’s stuff when you pass them in the grocery store if you don’t know how to protect yourself (more on that later). Even if you are not an empath, we frequently take on the energetic belief system and patterns of our parents and ancestors.

I have found that my invisible barriers have been a combination of other people’s energy, ancestral patterns, my own stuff and even stuff that I brought into the womb.

No wonder it is so hard to pinpoint what is in the way.

Sometimes we can pinpoint what is in our own way and sometimes we need help. I am more adept at seeing what is in the way for other than for myself and so I have a couple of people I call on when I don’t know what is at the root of what’s stopping me. Notice I said root. It is easy to get at the surface issue but then it just comes back again. It is time to get at the roots. That is when big change can and does happen.

Hopefully you saw some things for yourself from this article. This will resonate with some of you more than others. And some of you will want more help than I am able to provide in an article. If you are ready to make a bigger impact and plow through your invisible barrier, I have just a couple of slots left for my Intuitive Brainstorming Sessions. In these sessions, we don’t stop at discovering what is in your way, we clear it.

Another New Peaceful Entrepreneur is Born

I met with platinum client Barry Lipscomb to create the plan for the Council for Sustainable Living. I love working with all my clients and it just keeps getting more fun. The concept for this business is so exciting and can really make a wonderful impact in the world. We had a great time brainstorming and refining the business plan, marketing and implementation steps for this venture.

Here is what Barry had to say about his day.

“Yesterday was fantastic! My expectations were surpassed and my objectives were completely met. I am very excited with the additional ideas we developed around ‘Phase One’ (shh, it’s a secret) of my business plan and feel the core of that idea is complete and ready to implement. I am also amazed at how the idea seems to get bigger as my focus gets smaller.

This seems like such a paradox and I very much appreciated you sharing your own experience with The Center for Balanced Living where you likewise started out with a very big idea but began to focus on a specific aspect of the vision. With the Council for Sustainable Living I can now see through our work yesterday how the big idea was necessary in my understanding of what is important in approaching product design responsibly and with regard for sustainability. I am now also much clearer on what Phase Two looks like and how it is the personally
fulfilling and meaningful work I have sought
.

I also want to express my gratitude and appreciation for the consideration you gave to the location for our planning retreat. Being in the mountains and around nature was spiritually fulfilling and certainly facilitated the open space you created for the work we did together. I am very glad I took the time to come in a day early and enjoy a wonderful hike through the woods to the waterfalls at Big Canoe. As I shared with you, my process for the retreat began on that walk and the ideas just kept coming through. I do not think the work would have been as rich if held anywhere else.”

Stacey, you are joy to work with. Thanks so much for sharing your talent so openly and making a difference in my life. This venture and more importantly myself, personally would not be in this space today without your assistance. I am incredibly grateful and honor your being and the work you do.”

Barry Lipscomb,
CEO, Council for Sustainable Living
