We can’t change the curves that life often throws at us, however, we can change how we decide to respond to them.

Oftentimes we go into a tailspin and become stuck with old outdated responses. It's a little like a car spinning its wheels in mud, sand or snow and getting nowhere.

When triggered, these responses to life events and people are excessive to the situation. These old unresolved feelings continue to be released along with a current incident that contains similar feelings.

Sometimes, no matter what we do, we are stuck because we just don’t know how to get unstuck.

The problem with being stuck is that as we attempt to move forward with our lives, these blocks of negative energy can subtly sabotage our efforts so we can’t fully get to our goals and dreams.

Sometimes we can get there but we can’t keep our passions energized.

Blocks are simply made up of negative emotional charges.

Another way to look at it is blocks are stored as areas of muscle tension, and can be located in different parts of our bodies.

 Keeping them there is a little like holding a balloon under water. It takes energy to do that.

Now some techniques offer us better ways to keep the balloon under water.

An example would be counting to 10 before we become angry!

What the methods described in this Power Toolbox section all have in common are easy and powerful ways to simply let the air out of the balloon so that you are free to move forward, have more energy and give life to the dream of your life.
