She rarely ever allowed herself the time to treat herself as a priority and ensure that her own needs were taken care of.
Even though she loved taking relaxing walks in nature to recharge her energy, she couldn’t remember the last time she had taken the time to do this.
She wanted to focus on her health and well being but even though she had bought a gym membership at the beginning of the year, it was now May and she still hadn’t started.
She felt that it was a sign of weakness and vulnerability to focus her attention away from business matters.
There was pressure from friends, family and society in general to work hard, have it all and be successful.
Free time was considered to be a luxury and there seemed to be a constant competition as to who could achieve the most in their daily lives.
Rebecca felt like she couldn’t keep up anymore and didn’t even want to but this fact also made her feel like a bit of a failure.
After all, she was meant to be strong, manage to keep it all together and not complain wasn’t she?
Rebecca really wanted to make changes in the way that she dealt with her business life, so that her life could have some meaning again.
On the outside, everything looked great but on the inside she knew that she needed to say goodbye to old habits that were preventing her from manifesting more of her goals, so that she could experience more success and fulfilment in her working environment.
She had a burning desire to feel more empowered and firmly in the driving seat of her own life, instead of feeling controlled by her old beliefs and self-sabotaging habits that just seemed to keep her running around in circles.
She wanted to regain her confidence and sense of self-worth which had somehow been lost, along with her identity of who she really was.
Her biggest problem which was stopping her from moving forwards, was that she just didn’t feel at all comfortable with allowing herself to focus on what she really wanted, or even really know what that was.
She was so busy running her own company and making sure that everything worked smoothly and efficiently, that there was simply no time left for anything else.
Even on the odd occasion when there was, she just felt too guilty and self-indulgent to enjoy it properly.
She felt trapped in a perpetual cycle that never seemed to change and which she couldn’t see a way out of.
Even though she desperately wanted to make changes, she wasn’t clear on what she really wanted from her life, let alone how to start to go about manifesting it.
Everything seemed to have ground to a halt.
She found it hard to get out of bed in the morning and her weekends were spent recovering from an exhausting week, so that she could find the energy to do it all over again on Monday morning.
She felt like she was firmly stuck at what seemed to be a gigantic “road-block.”
