A Particular Case of Writer's Block!

Trying to get this post complete for the last few days, I have three drafts in place, hmmm, what "IS" the reason for this typical case of "writer's brainlock"?

In a class about UACs (Underlying Automatic Commitments) or what EFT would call Psychological Reversal and Munira would term subconscious beliefs... all with reference to the same concept, "an underlying compulsive thought contradicting our articulated (conscious belief/decision or goal if you might say), that holds us back from doing what we confirm that we want to do"...

This subliminal demon in the form of a particular fear, guilt, affirmation, internalized negative comment,or (as it is in this specific case) the famous demoralizing "fear of failure"-partially of not writing something upto par, something that is intelligent and fascinating, afraid to repeat myself, bore out my small audience- but mainly, worry of disappointing my super egotistical writer self!

How about you, what is it that's stopping you from "going to that interview", "sticking to your health plan" or simply saying "I am sorry"...

"Very superstitious... writings on the wall" Stevie wonder

I am not particularly Superstitious, or at least, this is what I would like you to believe!!! yet, I still couldn't help cringe at the sound of a crow's croak, no matter how much I tried to rationalize it away, believe it away or beat it with a stick... at the end of the day, I would find one teeny bit of evidence and add it to my semi-conscious belief that this little black guy calls for bad luck...

I have been fidling with EFT for a while, as a supporting technique to the coaching part of the work I am currently doing at MNSHS (both approaches require focusing on and accepting the current emotional aspect of an issue in order to clear it away). I decided to give the tapping technique (EFT) a go at this one.

The details of what happened here are irrelevant, but the profound shift in my perspective makes me wonder again, how much of what we accept as facts in our lives...is actually true?
