Your Reversals Are Holding You Back: Reverse Them!
by Kenrick Cleveland
Sharks die if they stop swimming, that's where we get the term 'sink or swim'.
As humans, if we stop moving, stop progressing, stop learnig, we don't literally die or sink, but we stop growing and may even experience a figurative death.
This can happen on all levels of existence - physically, emotionally, financially, creatively, etc. I want to focus on the emotional aspect of this stagnation and suggest that if you are feeling stuck in other aspects of your life it may be due to a reversal. And when you read what I have to say, you may very well find yourself correcting the wrongs in your life quicker than you had thought...
If you want to create a change in your life but keep up with counterproductive actions against this change, that's a reversal.
Why do you keep doing it if you really want to change it? Because there's that part of you that's reversed.
Having experienced reversals myself, I understand how powerful they are. Being significantly overweight most of my life, I was incredibly reversed. Eating cake and cookies and pizza and ice cream is not conducive to a healthy body. I had to make a choice, a hard choice, because it was a life or death situation.
Fear had something to do with it, obviously. Not wanting to die before my time, not wanting to leave my children fatherless - that was the driving force, the more powerful force in the end. Why wasn't that enough before? Sure, I was in a certain amount of denial, feeling maybe a little invincible, immortal, but thank God I had an awakening.
Reversals work on a deep psychological level and make you start believing that what is bad for you is good for you.
When I was reversed, I used to reward myself at the end of the day by having ice cream. That's twisted logic. Reward myself for eating "healthy" by eating a pint of rocky road. Denial.
There's a quote from Gallo and Vicente that says: "An energy reversal blocks you from seeing solutions even when you have the knowledge, or prevents you from implementing the solution even though you have the ability."
This was true with me and my weight issues. I had the intellectual information I needed to fix the problem, but there was a disconnect. Even though I knew what to do, I couldn't implement the solution.
Even if you have the ability to do something, maybe you're blocked from it. Another profound example of reversals is drug addicts. They know good and well that what they're doing is bad and that they're killing themselves. Take any heroin addict. They know they're going to die from it. They're going to one day overdose or have a problem. Take any addict. They know it's horrible, but they can't stop. There is something so good about it that they just can't stop.
This is a reversal.
Reversals can be spotted by major areas of sabotage in your life. If you have lots of depression, ongoing addictions, alcoholism or bad relationship after bad relationship, these are the sorts of things that should be looked at. We all have them. Somewhere we have blocks. We have reversals.
