Five Emotions That Could Be Stopping You From Living Your Dreams. Hello everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be exploring Five Emotions That Could Be Stopping You From Living Your Dreams. Hurtful memories can stifle your development and growth. How do we break through this insidious mental conditioning? How do we grow and develop beyond hurtful episodes that bury themselves in our subconscious and influence our lives? And how do we change and grow so that we can live our dreams?
The first step is to break the hold of these inhibiting influences from the past. Recognize them and then either get rid of them or turn them into a positive force that pushes you ahead rather than holds you back. Identify these inhibiting memories in your life so that you control them rather than allowing them to control you. Did someone hurt your feelings? Forgive them and forget it. Move on. Did someone punish you unfairly? It’s over. It’s done. Go on.
Here are a few of the most common emotions that burrow into the subconscious and impede our growth as individuals:
Five Emotions That Could Be Stopping You From Living Your Dreams
Anger
This is a natural response to a perceived attack or injury. It makes energy flow. But when allowed to simmer, it depletes energy that could be used to improve your life. If you hold your anger for over a week, it only hurts you. Make yourself let go. Envision yourself throwing it out. Ease your mind. Transform your anger into positive motivation. Don’t get mad. Get motivated.
Revenge
The first cousin of anger. It also robs you of strength in the long run. The person who has injured you has probably gone on with life; so should you. Don’t let the injury hurt you further by inhibiting your growth. Lose it or use it. Instead of saying, “I’ll get them,” say, “I’ll show them. I’LL BE SOMEBODY!”
Sadness
This is more crippling than anger because it drains you from the start, sapping your will to go on. You probably will have to let this drain away slowly at its own pace. Time heals, but if the sadness slingers, consciously force it out. Seek out things that make you laugh and feel optimistic about life. Realize that feeling sad will not change anything. Seek peace of mind, as you are right.
Resentment
Life is not always fair. It is unrealistic to feel any other way, and holding on to resentment is no way to fight back. Drop it and get back into the battle.
Guilt
Guilt is another emotion that stands between you and your dreams. All of us have done things we feel wrong about and regret. Things we would do differently. Many of us carry that guilt around, keeping us from moving forward. Don’t let people put you on a guilt trip. Say to yourself when someone is putting you on the defensive, “No matter what you do or say to me, I am still worthwhile.”
To rid yourself of these past emotions, put them in a positive rather than negative perspective, thereby cutting off their bitter roots in your subconscious. Reinterpret the past with these methods: Get better, not bitter. Find a quiet, comfortable place. Sit back and relax.
Think about something or someone who caused you pain or disappointment. Now take a mental step back from that feeling and the situation. Assess it. Did the emotions that resulted make you stronger? Did they give you determination? Can you use those memories to empower you rather than drain you? Why let them hurt you further?
I hope you enjoyed that.
Talk soon.

Anger and guilt have always held me back, when it came to living my dream. Disappointment in something or someone pushes me to make some bad decisions. I am slowly learning to live with it.

My last two years were full of anger, guilt, and sadness. I realized I was in trouble. I decided to dive deep into my negative emotions and find their roots. It was very successful, and Im calmer now.

You could say that I have the emotion from being “shamed” that I might be holding onto. It’s kind of like guilt, except I didn’t do anything, but have been wrongfully accused, and never getting to defend myself in certain situations. I’ve worked through it a bit, but it’s taken a very long time. Thanks for bringing this list of emotions that could be stopping your dreams to light!

This is great because often we get so caught up in the emotions that we can’t even see those might be our block.

Great and insightful read on what emotions can do to prevent living your dreams. I think anger is really a culprit in so many things. You are right that letting it go is essential.

Guilt is a big one for me. I don’t know why, but I still find that ‘blogging’ makes me feel guilty. I tell people I’m a freelance writer, which is technically true as I get quite a bit of work as a freelancer, but my main passion and income source is blogging. I know it holds me back but it’s a difficult emotion to get out of.

I agreed holding resentment and revenge can only paralyze you and hold you back from really enjoying your life. I think this post is a reminder that when choose the state we’re in and to understand there are consequences to holding on to those emotions.

Excellent information in this article. I am most guilty of seeking revenge when I should just move on!

All of these are very plausible. I think envy is one to add to this list. When you’re too busy look at everyones’ lanes rather than staying in your own, it prevents you from personal growth and overall success (Law of Attraction.)
