Is This Where You Stop And go back?
Most of us are climbing some sort of mountain. Many of us desire to climb higher.
Sometimes what can help us climb higher is lightening our load.
There are very few things heavier and more dense than guilt and shame. They can weigh us down and make it very hard to continue climbing.
This FREE 15-min guided mediation is an exploration of the concept of self-forgiveness. My intention is to help you release any guilt that is ready to be let go and make room for more inspiration and creation.
Made from my heart to yours.

HERE’S A REALLY POWERFUL STORY ABOUT MOUNTAINS
Last January, at the Archangel Masters event in LA, one of the speakers told us this story about a friend of his who decided to climb a mountain.
The person in his story was having a really hard time. This particular mountain was very challenging. Midway through, the man began to slow down, as the rest of his group continued their ascent.
Then the sherpa who was leading the group, made his way back down to this man, to check-in on him and see if he needed some assistance.
In a neutral and non-judgmental tone he asked the man
“Is this where you stop?”
Out of breath, the man looked up at the sherpa, who then said
“Everyone has a spot where they stop and go back. Is this yours?”
The man in the story became aware in that moment of reaching his own edge, and took a moment to reflect on the sherpa’s question.
This story made me realize that everyone has to stop at some point. The goal isn’t to endlessly move forward, otherwise we’ll either burnout or fall off the edge of a mountain.
For some people their point to stop and go back is halfway through their mountain.
For others it’s at the very top.
For some, it’s at the top of mountain number 20 and for others it’s at step 0. They stop before taking a single step.
Everyone is different. I think it’s important we all pick our own stopping point. Stopping is not a bad thing, that’s how we can take in the view and appreciate the journey.
Stopping, when we really truly want to keep going, that’s where it get’s messy.
This story helped me realize that the place I stop and go back is very similar, no matter which mountain I am climbing (business, relationship, social media, podcasting, etc)
As I explore new mountains I can now use this awareness to empower myself to check-in and see if I am ready and able to climb past my previous stopping spot.
What is the point where you stop and go back?
And how do you feel about that point?
And for those of you who care, the man ended up making it all the way to the top of the mountain. :)
