Freedom is something we all desire.

Whether it’s financial freedom, more freedom of opportunity, the right to say what’s on our hearts or even the freedom to choose. Maybe you want to be free of the feelings of self doubt or that "imposter syndrome" that lurks in the background.

It’s a basic human need and will vary for each individual.

But choosing to be free of something is not easy. Often it takes a lot of self-reflection and emotional processing. That doesn’t mean you have to do anything drastic, but it does mean that you have to work on taking charge of your emotions and how they drive your decisions and actions.

When you're not free in a particular area of your life & business, there will be negative emotions associated with it. Negative emotions are never a place in which to rest nor are they the place to set goals, make decisions or grow from.

Somewhere deep inside of you, there are things that trigger an emotion-al response. These things can be so subtle that you don't even notice them. And yet, they have a big impact on your life.

When you're triggered, you feel an emotional response. You may feel jealousy or anger or frustration. Another person may be doing well and it triggers you in some way. You might resent them for it.

When you do well, the same thing happens to other people. They may resent you for doing well, which will trigger them to act in a negative way toward you. This can cause tension in your relationships and lead to all sorts of issues.

You want to be completely free so that no one can touch your emotions with their performance or their behaviour.

You need to find out what triggers those emotions so that you can release them from within yourself and not allow anyone else to trigger them in you either.

It's when you're free that the growth you desire can truly happen.
