Experimenting with having self-awareness

Identifying roadblocks

Roadblocks are any emotion, belief, body sensation or thought that creates a sense of discomfort inside us. It is something that clouds our inner compass or distracts us from feeling calm, curious, non-judgmental and compassionate. It is an indication that we have either a need, a boundary or a wound to heal. This exercise is designed to help you identify some roadblocks you have in relationship with yourself and others.
