Conscious Awareness on a Writer’s Block

I have had a writer’s block for quite some time now. It’s true there is a lot going on in my life at the moment, and that may be one of the reasons.
Even now as I sit and write this I find myself looking for excuses not to write. At the same time I feel there is so much I want to say.
Through work with myself in conscious awareness I can feel the reasons inside myself. But there is a difference between feeling something and being consciously aware of that something. To really bring it out there is a need to put words to these feelings.
I am blessed with having dear friends, who are also involved in conscious awareness and self-empowerment, and that these friends are willing to listen to me expressing these feelings and putting words to them. Not only allowing me to put it into words in my own rambling way, but to coach and guide me through this tangled web of feelings and thoughts.
Using my good frinds, as well as the techniques I have learned over the years, I am in the process of breaking through this block. The block is not just about writing, it is much more about being responsible for who I am and what I want to do and be.
The block is that I was on the threshold of moving into my major dream, and as my friend Amanda pointed out, that is frightening. Because once me make a dream come true, it is no longer a dream.
It’s reality. And what if reality becomes something different from the dream? Oh, what an abyss I will be left with. In fact a double abyss of no longer having the dream, but also the abyss of possible “failure”. Yes, it’s on purpose I put “failure” in quotation marks, as I don’t really believe in failure.
There really are a number of bright spots in all of this.
- I did not beat myself up through this period of being blocked. I realized that it was something I had to go through, to clean up the clutter of my mind.
- The blessing of friends, who showed me their true and deep friendship in working through this with me.
- The tremendous feeling of empowerment as the clearing takes place.
Is this a lesson of life, or is it just plain common sense? I believe it’s the first through living in a state of conscious awareness.
Almost forgot to thank you for reading this. It sure helps.

Birte… as I read your words I thought I must have written them.
Within my heart, this place where you find yourself is related to our sense of being worthy of that which we dream. As each step takes us closer to our dream becoming reality, the doubts, the fears, the worry arises to “keep us safe from ourselves”.
As my friend Steve D’Annunzio tells me “the ego is there to help you to survive but it will not help you to thrive”.
Be grateful to yourself for protecting you and bringing you this far and keep on walking towards that which you desire. I love your writing and I love how you bring my lessons right to my door. many blessings dear heart.
