What Could be Hiding in your Emotional Closet?
Do you struggle, living from paycheck to paycheck?
Do you feel stuck?
Are you in the relationship you desire?
Do you continue to incur more and more debt?
So often I see people struggling in their careers trying to get ahead. They work so hard in jobs they don’t like trying to earn a living.
Some seem to go from one bad relationship into another.
It is uncommon to come across a person that is actually living their passion, working in a job they adore and has the life they desire. Why is this?
Shouldn’t we all be entitled to live our dreams, having an abundant, high quality life?
The answer is YES! However, many of us are held back because of self limiting beliefs. These beliefs are generally tucked neatly away in our subconscious. They lay, hiding in our “emotional closets”, creating blocks, preventing us from achieving our goals and desires.
I firmly believe that life was never intended to be a constant struggle. But for many, that seems to be exactly what they experience. A lot has to do with the Law of Attraction. A lot has to do with how we view the world, life, work, love and other issues. Most often when we do not succeed in attaining our goals, there generally is a self-limiting belief at the root of the issue.
What are self limiting beliefs and where do they come from?
A self limiting belief starts out innocently enough. Generally a parent or some other authoritative figure in our life imparted words of wisdom on us at a very early age in our development. Perhaps you may have heard something along the line of: “you must get good grades if you want to be successful” or how about “money changes people” or perhaps you were told “nothing in life comes easy” or “life isn’t fair”. Whatever the phrase may have been, if you heard it often enough, it transformed from words into a thought and then into a belief. Beliefs are difficult to conquer unless you know how.
The key is to uncover the self-limiting belief at the start.
How do you know you have a self-limiting belief? If you have been working towards a goal, envisioning yourself obtaining it, keeping optimistic thoughts about it and gearing everything in your power toward achieving it and you are still without it, you have a block and that block is most likely a self limiting belief.
Working with a Law of Attraction coach can help you uncover these beliefs as well as provide you with tools and techniques that will allow you to dissolve these beliefs and rid your “emotional closet” of them.
Once free from the negative effects of a self limiting belief, you will notice a marked increase in the way you feel. Many people feel lighter, more peaceful, some even a bit giddy. Their emotions have been raised markedly by the removal of the negative feelings and emotions triggered by their self limiting belief. They no longer have those negative feelings or emotions such as doubt or fear hovering around their goal or desire. They are free and able to pursue their dream.
Speaking from personal experience, being free from a self limiting belief really makes you feel so much better. I immediately felt much lighter and happier and became much more confident. Soon, I began to see my career turn in the direction I desired. It was a wonderful experience and has helped make me a much better, more effective coach.
Perhaps it’s time to take a closer look at your own life.
Are you working in a job you love? Do you have the money you desire? Are you in a good, loving relationship? Do you live in the home of your dreams?
If you are not achieving the goals you desire, you may need to look into what may be hiding in your “emotional closet” and consider hiring a Law of Attraction Coach to help you remove the stumbling blocks to your success. Like me, many Law of Attraction Coaches offer free sample sessions. So, if you aren’t living the life you desire, isn’t it time to take the next step? I am sure glad I did.

Could someone tell me what they think of the beginning of my novel?
The purpose of the story is to show the emotional imbalance shown by kids aged 12-15 (roughly):
—————————–
Marcos sat silently, staring out the window into the gloomy night. Heavy rain thudded against his window, and he wished that it could drown out the sound of his parents fighting.
As he stared into the abyss, a single thought crossed his mind. It was one that he had given much consideration; he had even made an emergency kit just in case. It was a good thought to him, his mother and father did not seem to notice him anymore, nor did they seem to notice if they hurt him. In fact, it seemed as though they would be better off if he left.
He continued to gaze through his window, imagining what it would be like to just get up and leave. Would his parent’s look for him? He thought maybe, just maybe, they would go to tuck him in at night and he wouldn’t be there, and they would get scared and call the police and finally find him down by the lake at the spot where his father would take him fishing.
His happy thoughts turned to tears, though, for he knew it wouldn’t be like that. His parents never tucked him in at night. They never even hugged him or said the words ‘I love you’ out loud. They expected it to be implied. More than that, his father never took him to do any sort of activity, let alone fishing!
So, what if he did run away? Where would Marcos go? He had no family to run to. His grandparents had all passed away, his parents where both only child’s and he had no older siblings to turn to. He had a baby sister, but that was all.
Friends? No, he had no friends. At school the other children would pick on him, and he would cry. They all knew him well, and they knew how to make him hurt. Unconsciously, he rubber his scarred wrists; he had once tried to kill himself, and continued cutting himself since then after he realized that he could control himself that way. He could feel pain, and he knew he was human.
Would he go to teachers? How could he? He didn’t know where his teachers lived, and even if he did find them, they would just call his parents. He desperately wanted his teachers to notice him. He left poems in the classrooms, hoping one would find it and read it and look deep enough to see how depressed he really was. It never happened though. The poems disappeared but no teacher ever seemed to notice him.
He was sobbing now, squeezing his pillow between his chest and his knees. He imagined his mom’s arms around him, hugging him. He pretended that she was rub his back and smile and him and say ‘I love you, baby. Mommy’s here’ and everything would be better. Or his father would hug him and they could sit and have a man-to-man talk.
He thought that was how it was supposed to work. He watched television a lot and the families were always doing things like that. The kids never hid under their bed just because it was dark and quiet, or in the closet, because it made them feel safer. The kids on TV didn’t need to feel safer.
This made him angry now and he through his pillow away from him. He was tired of feeling scared. Tired of being lonely, and tired of being upset! He wanted to get out of there. Run, and never stop.

what do you think of it so far? does it grab your attention? does it make you expect anything? what would you change? would you request more complex wording? or are the ones I chose appropriate?
PS: I’m not sure which catagory to put this in, and my protagonist is going to be gay so this one gets it
lol, Laughing McDonald, I’m questioning, and my avitar is my real picture. I have a better one there but I’m having trouble changing it. my good ones on my messenger.
Metric Summer, the story is influenced by a game (a very very messed up game) my best friend and I played when I was 8. I am concidering the plot to be the boy finds himself being molested, but I don’t know if that will cause too much controversy. the story is also going to be more realistic, he will eventually run away, but he’ll be back before bed time (like I did)
"P" is for Piano, I don’t have a title yet, no, I always feel it’s best to wait until the end, I will fiddle with the setting a bit though, thanks
I like it. The idea is good- but where will you take it?
Try not to give away too much information at the beginning- the trying to kill himself part- might turn a lot of readers off maybe throw that in the story a little later. A lot of gay people may relate to this though, because I’ve been there…I’ve been that boy- excpet I’m a girl… I would read it, but you need a little bit of work on the wording. I just would like to know where it’s going? What is the plot- just of him running from his problems? Will it be depressing, or will it be a story of triumph?
That might be a very hard story to get published..you’ll just have to go to the right publishers…

I actually like it alot. I wouldn’t use complex wording as I think it works well as a contemporary piece rather than a classic piece. It has my attention so far and that’s hard to do as I have the attention span of a goldfish xD.
It really does tug at my heart strings, I think you have quite a deep and interesting protagonist here with alot of potential to develop. I’m quite interested to see where this is going. Also I would describe his surroundings abit more to give the reader an idea of where he is.
I like and good luck with it.
And do we have a title yet?
EDIT: Ignore Laughing Mcdonald, He’s just being a prick.
