While creating The Way of Tea (registration is open by the way)
I ran into this space over and over again.  Finally I wrote a letter to myself about it.    I hope it helps you too.
Here you are again.  
That place that always seems to crop up when you least expect it.  
Here you are making your merry way on the road to creating sharing
your gifts and you hit the wall; a space made up of fear and 
limiting beliefs spackled together with inner critic glue. 

It seems like each time you push past one piece of the wall
it changes positions.  You know some of the triggers that make 
you more susceptible the wall; too much caffeine, unhealthy food, 
not enough sleep or  being around people that drain the joy out of you. 
Most days you do your best to avoid these traps but occasionally you 
smack face first into the wall. 

And it sucks. 

But guess what?
You're still on the right path!

This wall of suck is just a false alarm!
And you are a magical being!  
You can make this wall crumble if you just 
remember a couple of things.  
Picture
This is part of your process.   These feeling 
and fearful stuck suckness have come up for healing.  
Feel your feelings...super important because unexpressed feeling makes inner critic glue stronger. 

Picture
Thing Two.  You don't have to keep your face smooshed against the suck wall.  You can choose 
your response.  Go for a walk, , take a nap, dance, 
drink a glass of water.

Bang a gong...just don't do what the fear suck says
that's the key to defeating it.

More often than not at the bottom of that suck wall are seeds 
for a beanstalk of hope and ideas just waiting for you to use 
your magic to help it grow.  

Grow your magic beanstalk.  Propel yourself  over the wall.

Thank you Tanya! Welcome. Those walls are tricksy. They never truly are what they seem.
