Releasing Blocks to Action
Do you feel stuck, like something you want to do is just impossible?
Ann Weiser Cornell knew she wanted to write and publish books, but she just couldn’t do it. Every time she tried something would go wrong. One day, out of sheer desperation, she imagined that there must be a part of her who didn’t want to write. That moment opened the door for profound change. Since then Ann has written numerous books and words now flow easily for her. What changed? She discovered the good reason part of her didn’t want to write. She developed empathic prompts for listening to this part of herself and she turned that entire process into a course called, Releasing Blocks to Action. If you long to do something and keep stopping yourself, join a worldwide community of people who are empowering themselves to move forward again with Ann’s work.
