About this listen

 Welcome to Essential Healing. As human beings, we're designed to learn through experience. We explore, test, watch others and take what we notice to form not only our beliefs about ourselves, but also of others and the world around us. Similar to following an outline, this information gets stored in our subconscious as a thought pattern and becomes a part of the unconscious beliefs we use to navigate every aspect of our life. And because they're unconscious (by design), often we have no idea what they are. Some of the beliefs or patterns are helpful and positive, such as "I need to stay back from the edge of that cliff," or "I'm confident that I can pass that test with flying colors." But others create patterns of resistance, such as, "I'm no good at Math," "I NEVER win," or "I don't have what it takes." If you've ever tried to overcome these beliefs by negotiating with yourself (such as affirming I DO HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!), and you felt like it wasn't working, you're NOT alone. The subconscious is steadfast, and it doesn't like to LOSE. Trauma adds another level of complexity to this internal war because as a result of the experiences we've had, we feel like there's something fundamentally wrong with US.  We don't trust ourselves to know right from wrong, what works for us and what doesn't, or that we have the power to break the cycle. Fortunately, there's another way. Join Dawn Petek and guests as they shed light on the truth of how the toxic legacy of the past shows up in your daily life and provide you with the skills you need to THRIVE.2019 Dawn Petek Alternative & Complementary Medicine Hygiene & Healthy Living

    THERE'S A REASON IT ISN'T WORKING

    When you start down a path and it starts to feel like you're pushing a rock up a hill, then if you're anything like me, you probably push forward even harder, telling yourself that you have to make it work, despite all odds.

    The truth is that if something isn't working, there's a reason. 

    Here's how to listen to it.

    "THINK POSITIVE" DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU

    If you've ever tried to change something big in your life simply by changing your thoughts and felt like it didn't work for you, you're not alone. 

    "Think positive thoughts" or "Focus on what you want" (vs. what you don't want) is a common recommendation as the go-to for creating lasting change. 

    While great in theory… it's only PART of the formula.

    Here's what you're missing.

    SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO LET IT SIT

    If you're frustrated you're not as far along as you want to be, then forcing yourself to "work harder" may not be the answer. 

    Sometimes the best thing you can do is let it sit. 

    Space allows you to relax and distance yourself from the frustration so you can see it from a different perspective.

    It might just help you find the answer you're looking for to get where you want to go.
