Every founder or CEO faces invisible blocks—not failures, but patterns that drain energy and slow growth. Recognizing them is the first step to breaking through.

• Inherited Blocks → Old money stories, cultural conditioning, or family patterns around success.
• Emotional Blocks → Unresolved resentment, guilt, or disappointment that fuel burnout and poor decisions.
• Mental Blocks → Perfectionism, self-doubt, or overthinking that paralyze execution.
• Physical Blocks → Stress stored in the body, showing up as fatigue, tension, or recurring health issues.
• Conflict of Vision → Misalignment with partners, teams, or stakeholders.
• Energetic Blocks → Carrying expectations or environments that weaken focus and momentum.

Here’s the truth: blocks aren’t stop signs. They’re signals to strengthen your foundation. Each one you clear frees energy for sharper clarity, stronger decisions, and sustainable success.

Journaling Prompt for Leaders: Clearing Blocks

1. Identify the Block
   • Write down one area in your business or leadership where you feel stuck or drained (e.g., team alignment, decision fatigue, scaling with clarity).
   • Ask yourself: What type of block is this—Inherited, Emotional, Mental, Physical, Conflict of Vision, or Energetic?
2. Name the Impact
   • Describe how this block is costing you—time, money, energy, or momentum.
   • Be specific: “This hesitation in decision-making delayed our launch by three weeks.”
3. Reframe the Block
   • Ask: If this block were actually a signal, what is it asking me to strengthen?
   • Example: “My perfectionism is showing me I need clearer decision-making frameworks.”
4. Create the Next Step
   • Write down one action you can take this week to clear or shift the block.
   • Keep it small but tangible: delegate a task, book a recovery day, have the difficult conversation, or set a new boundary.

Mantra to Anchor:
“Blocks are not barriers—they are invitations to refine my leadership.”
