BeingU.com: Bypass your censor … ready to release … get emotionally unstuck …

BYPASS

YOUR CENSOR

Sometimes, when you want access to authentic information that, if exposed, can cause you to feel vulnerable, you can't get at it.

The censor, in an effort to 'protect' you creates blocks. You forget. You get stuck. You get irritated.

If pushed directly, the censor gets more stubborn. The information becomes less available.

Dodge the tactics of the censor when you feel stuck for an answer – make one up. Though it can feel like you're not telling the truth, by-passing the censor actually results in genuine answers – from your most authentic self.

Feeling emotionally stuck? Going in circles? Try the 'release' exercise below.

WHAT TO DO – I AM READY TO RELEASE …

On a page in your lined journal or on sheets of lined paper, write the sentence stem: I am Ready to Release … at the top of the first page. (The sentence stem is used to prompt a response, then another and another.)

Set a timer for 5 -15 minutes. Mentally say the sentence stem, then write whatever answer comes to mind — no matter if it make sense or not.

Repeat the sentence stem again, write the next answer in the same stream of consciousness manner. Continue to repeat the process without stopping to think. If you feel stuck for an answer — make one up.

Allow the answers to come to the surface over and over until the timer rings. (After completing the 'ready-to-release' exercise, consider laying positive affirmations to replace old limiting self-talk.)
