EP 280: How Working Too Hard on Yourself is a Block to What You Desire with Dani

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This call is about self-acceptance and leading a fully-expressed life. Dani calls in looking for guidance on how to get out of the funk she is in. She feels unmotivated and burned out. But, as we discuss, the beautiful thing about burnout is that it is a wake-up call to tell us we are living in an unsustainable way. It is in the unknown that magical opportunities present themselves. When we plan and control everything there is little room for the universe to surprise us.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[For show notes go here:</span> <a href="http://christinehassler.com/episode-280"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Christinehassler.com/episode280</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">]</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot of us are committed to personal growth. But, we must be aware of when we are working on ourselves a little too much and sometimes just let it be. Be in radical self-acceptance. Be in a place of just accepting where we are and shifting our energy into one of love and gratitude. It is the balance between not brushing stuff under the rug and living in denial but not overworking ourselves so we are always a personal growth project.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we grew up in a house where there was a lot of uncertainty or chaos there is a frenetic energy that happens. It is constantly looking for safety and certainty. It can keep us very busy. If you relate to that, I encourage you just to stop and slow down. Because our soul, or the universe, does not give us much momentum on something when it comes from a place of lack. Sometimes we just need to stop and be with ourselves.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join Stefanos and me for our 3-day virtual</span></em> <a href= "http://christinehassler.com/innerchild"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Inner Child Workshop</span></em></a><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
