Reflection Practice:

While doing a simple chore, think of a goal that has not been unfolding and ask:

1. How is it serving me not to receive this?
2. What am I getting from not succeeding in this area?
3. What belief might explain this resistance?
4. How do I behave when I believe that?
5. How would I behave if I did not believe it?
