2020 Love Vision Podcast Challenge - Day 3

February 12, 2020

Hello and welcome to day three of the 2020 Love Vision Podcast Challenge. This week on the podcast, I'm doing something a little different in celebration of Valentine's Day. I want to help you get refocused on your love life so that you can get unstuck and move forward. Each day this week on the podcast, I'm releasing a mini episode that will help you get clear on your goals in your love life, overcome blocks getting in your way, and you'll end the challenge with creating some tangible action steps that will change your love life. Today is day three and it's all about your love blocks. Now, if you haven't listened to days one and two first, I highly recommend you do that before starting here. It will make a lot more sense when we get to the exercise for today. Okay, so today is all about love blocks and I'm thinking that this is what I'm becoming known for in the relationship and love world because a lot of women come to me specifically because of my work around inner child work. I do believe that as adults we are all playing out old, unresolved issues from our childhood. And this is true across the board. It does not matter your socioeconomic status. It does not matter your religious background, your racial/ethnic background. It does not matter if you've come from a family that looks idyllic and like our Sweet Pete on The Bachelor. It does not matter if you've come from a family of any kind of trauma or divorce. Everyone has stuff. Everyone is a human. Everyone at some point has lost that sense of love, safety, and belonging. And whenever you have lost that sense of love, safety, and belonging, then you have created some sort of habit, and that habit might turn into a pattern, over many years that will help you to compensate so that you don't feel that pain of not feeling the love, safety, and belonging. This is completely normal. It's completely natural. And it is completely human. So if you have noticed that you have some patterns or some blocks that aren't super helpful, and you're aware that they're not helpful, and maybe even at this point you know that they're harmful for you, I want you to know that that's normal and it's okay. It does not mean that there's anything wrong with you. It does not mean that you're broken or anything like that. I really don't buy into the belief that you are broken and you have to be whole and healed in order to find love, because that would mean that all people in a relationship are whole and healed. And that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I think the better question is from where are you attracting your relationships? So today we're going to figure out where that place is. Is it a place of fear? Is it a place of not feeling good enough? Is it a place of trying to please, and compensate, and all of those things? Well, what kind of relationship do you think that's going to attract versus attracting from a place of feeling good enough, a feeling like you have so much to give and you want to share that love, or I guess you could say healed place would be? So again, if you want to have all of these journaling questions and exercises that I talk about here on the podcast in writing, then head over to veronicagrant.com/podcastchallenge, and there you can download the workbook for free. Okay, so to get started with figuring out what's blocking you, this is really a natural next step after days one and two. In day one we talked about where are you right now, where are you starting. In day two we talked about where are you going and now it's, what's getting in the way. So using this Google Map analogy again, it's like you put in your address of where you want to go in Google Maps and it has your location so it knows where you are now and Google Maps might give you a few different options. It might say, there's a big traffic jam if you go this route. And you go this route, it's a little bit longer, but the traffic seems to be moving faster. And if you go that route there seems to
