Now it’s time to reflect. So many people are under the illusion that growth requires us to achieve big goals and accomplish great feats but often, it’s in the small things - like reflective practices, including Take The Brakes Off self-clearing and journaling - where our personal and professional evolution unfolds in the most profound ways. That’s why today I want to share my reflection ritual with you. It’s also a great practice to guide your leadership team through (or clients, if you’re a coach).

Growth implies change. And change can be challenging for all parties involved. You making positive shifts and changes in your life can bring up and out all sorts of triggers in your partner. However, it is possible to live our full expression within a relationship that expands and can grow with us, and that’s not going to hold us back.

Your body is a representation of your subconscious. It holds onto all sorts of memories, beliefs and perceptions for you, a ton of messages. These messages might show up in the form of niggling feelings, dreams or passing thoughts, or get stored in the body in form of tension, blockages, constrictions, flattening sensations and emotions. Like a child that wants undivided attention, your body will only let these messages go, if you are willing to stop, acknowledge and release them.
