who claims that when you significantly
change your lifestyle and/or start adopting
healthy habits, your cells literally change
shape, which can feel really awful when
you’re in the middle of it. (Although it’s
actually NOT awful for your cells—there is
no damage to them at all.) But, that feeling
that occurs when your cells are actually
changing may be at the root of what we’re
calling Resistance (LaPorte, 2014). All three of these possibilities have one
thing in common—in a nutshell, some part
of you may not be on board with your living
your dreams, fulfilling your purpose, and/or
becoming the person you’re meant to be.
And, if that’s true, I can tell you right now
that it doesn’t matter how many productivity
or goal books you read; you simply are
not going to take regular, consistent action
toward making your goals your reality.
2. A MINDSET OR Maybe as a child you were constantly
belittled for wanting to be an artist, and were
told to “grow up and get a real job.” Or maybe
you somehow got the idea you weren’t
smart enough, or good enough, to live your
dreams. Or maybe you were always the
“responsible” one, and “responsible” people
have “responsible, boring” jobs. Or maybe
you have a secret fear your family will leave
you, or you’ll lose love if you start living your
dream life.
SUBCONSCIOUS BLOCK.
I wrote a lot about this in my “Love-Based
Money and Mindset” book, and later in this
chapter, I cover a few points specific to the
effects of these blocks on working toward
your dreams, so keep reading.
3. AN UPPER LIMIT
PROBLEM.
Gay Hendricks wrote about this in “The Big
Leap”—basically, we have “subconscious
ceilings” in place to keep us from feeling too
good. For instance, we have a ceiling on how
much money we can make, how much love
we can receive, and how happy we can be
(Hendricks, 2009). (This explains why a couple
may end up in a huge fight after a particularly
close moment, or a massive expense appears
after you receive a big check.)
So, how does this come into play when
working on your love-based goals? Well,
if your love-based goals will make you
happy, and you have a limit to how happy
you’re allowing yourself to feel, you may
find yourself unable to take steps toward
those goals.

These are just a few of the million reasons
why part of you may be standing in the
way of your dreams. To dive deeper into
