Things have been on your vision board for forever maybe, and you're like, oh, yeah, like, this is how it's gonna go. I imagine it like this, but when it actually happens, your nervous system is. Is taken back, even though it's something that you want it. And you're like, oh, my God, what is going on? And you think it's such a surprise, right? Our gut reaction is typically to just push it away to make it stop. And we don't do this consciously. We do this unconsciously. It's our subconscious mind that is pushing it away. Because it's unfamiliar to the subconscious mind, it is deemed unsafe. Even though consciously, we're like, no, this is safe. Hello. I've been dreaming of this for forever. Like, thank you. More money. Thank you, dream business. Thank you, man of my dreams. Thank you. Whatever it is in your life, it's still marked as unsafe.
