Remove Those Negative Mental Blocks | Trishtan Sapphire | TEDxWilmingtonSalon


in order to achieve the things that we
want in life you have got to remove the
mental blocks most mental blocks are
created at a young age through
experiences that we have or they are
deep rooted beliefs that are passed down
from generation to generation we never
questioned these beliefs because they’re
buried deep in our subconscious so
instead of challenging challenging them
we just pass them on to the next one
when I was 17 I finally decided what I
wanted to do in life I wanted to move to
New York go to school for fashion design
and I was going to be a big fashion
designer that was my dream when I shared
this dream with someone I was told why
do you want to do that why don’t you
just get married have children get a
regular job and if you really really
want to go to school you can just go to
the military and they’ll pay for your
school for free and then in 20 years you
can retire that was my life in a
nutshell but I’ve never been a nut shell
kind of person so I challenged it you
see those fears were being passed on to
me but times have changed you don’t have
to just go to school get a job get
married and retire anymore you should be
allowed to pursue the things that you
really want to do in life and not be
fearful of it at that moment that’s when
I learned that my dream may not be
attainable or it wasn’t real it wasn’t a
real thing or it couldn’t be a real job
before that point I didn’t know that
it was the fear that was put in me that
mental block that was created and
eventually I did pursue my fashion
design dream but I had to remove that
mental block before I made that move and
now I have the honor of raising my
daughter Miko not like neko the cat meat
go let me go to him her name means born
prosperous blessed with beauty I wanted
to give Miko a chance from the very very
beginning before I became a mother I was
told you better do everything that you
want to do now because when you have
that baby you won’t have time you all
have money you want you won’t have
energy everything becomes about that
child so after I had her that’s when I
decided that this was not enough for me
I didn’t reach the goals that I wanted
to reach yet so instead of using her as
an excuse not to do what I wanted to do
in life I used her as a strength to push
forward and to fight those fears and to
remove those mental blocks so I can
achieve what I wanted to achieve in life
and also so she would not be fearful of
the things that she wanted to achieve
you see it’s our goal as parents mentors
teachers brothers sisters to teach the
generations that are coming after us but
they do not have to be afraid to pursue
those things that they want in life fear
is not real
it’s not real and I had to fight a lot
of fears to stand on this stage today
and I hope that I am able to inspire
someone else to do the same I have three
exercises that you can do to remove the
mental blocks the most important part of
removing them is you have to recognize
what they are so exercise number one is
to meditate so you want to allow
yourself fifteen to twenty minutes you
can set the timer on your phone sit in a
comfortable relaxing position try to
have it uninterrupted and you can just
ask a question it doesn’t have to be a
major question how do I cure cancer or
in world peace or start world peace it
could be something very very simple how
why is it that I cannot clean my garage
very simple but its major to you because
you’ve been trying to clean this garage
for three years and it’s just not
getting done so once you sit into this
meditative state the answers will come
to you and you’ll be surprised what may
surface it may be revealed that at that
time when you were younger and you were
helping your aren’t clean out her garage
and you dropped that very very expensive
antique that she loved and she yelled at
you and she said what are you doing
you’re always ruining everything
I don’t even know why you’re here get
out of here and take off running
depending on what kind of child you were
either you took off running and you
cried for twenty minutes or you just
want to go play with your friends and
got a snack whatever I don’t want to do
it anyway
but it doesn’t change the fact that the
experience happened and that thought is
there so now 20 years later you’re in
your garage and you shuffle a few things
around for about 15 minutes and it kind
of looks worse than it did before you
even started and now you’re frustrated
and you’re always messing up stuff and
you don’t know what you’re doing there
and you get out of there
once you remove once you recognize and
then remove that mental block then not
only will you be able to clean your
garage you’ll probably clean your mom’s
garage your grandparents garage and even
your neighbor’s garage for a small fee
because now there is nothing preventing
you from accomplishing this task
exercise number two is forgiveness
forgiveness is very important forgive
your aunt
everyone knows that she’s crazy she
always says crazy things that all the
family gatherings
she never has anything nice to say
forgive her you can forgive her in your
own space at your own time or you can
call her and you can have a conversation
but once you forgive her in the release
is done then that mental block is
removed and most importantly you have to
forgive yourself none of us are perfect
and we all make mistakes forgive
yourself for that person that you may
have heard for those things that you may
have said those regrets that you have
that investment you didn’t make forgive
yourself because the more we hold on to
these things you’re stopping the newness
from coming in its a blockage exercise
number three is my absolute favorite
it’s called the right and burn method so
with right and burn you still want to
allow yourself some uninterrupted time
and you can write a paragraph or you
could write 20 pages you want to release
all of your inner thoughts you can laugh
you could scream you can cry you can be
completely honest because nobody is
gonna read it you can read it but you
already know what it says and if you’re
anything like me it starts off on nice
and clean and then by the end of it I’m
writing like a mad scientist so my words
get all big and off the page but that
lets me know that I’m being honest and
and I’m letting it all out and you can
start off the same way you do with the
meditation by just asking a question
and then that question will lead to
other thoughts that are surrounding that
event that may have happened once you
recognize and remove these mental blocks
this is when your new life begins this
is where happiness begins now you’re
open to receive all the abundance of
love of success of money whatever it is
that you desire now and you’re open to
receive it because you’re open you’re
not blocked and that’s when life begins
and I’ll be completely honest I had to
remove a lot of mental blocks to step up
on this stage today but if I inspired
one person in this room I reach my goal
and it was worth it
if I inspired – I’m winning I’m winning
so if you guys don’t take anything away
with you today please remember forgive
yourself and forgive others and you have
to get rid of the old to make room for
the new thank you
