Usually, when we have a problem that is circumstantial, we are facing the reality of life. However, when we face a chronic problem, we are facing the reality of ourselves. This is your moutain which arises out of co-existing but conflicting needs.

Identifying Problems

Your imperfections are the signs that you still have more potential within you.

Your mountain is the obstacle that prevents you from living the life you desire. Confronting it is the only way to achieve freedom and growth. You are here because a trigger revealed your wound, and it will guide you to your path and ultimately, your destiny.🧗‍♀️ Face your mountain to reach your dreams! 🌅

Mountain Within: Overcoming Life's Blocks

You must now learn agility, resilience, and self-understanding. In the end, it is not the mountain that you must master, but yourself.

The path to follow

It is simply a presence of an unconscious need that is being fulfilled by the self-sabotaging behavior. It can be a coping mechanism.We are merely numbing our real needs and giving ourselves temporary relief.It can take froms like: Resistence to change, Uprooting, Perfectionism, Justification, etc.

First Mountain: Self-Sabotage

Small shifts, compounded over time can result in permanent baseline adjustment.

Get angry with yourself, be determined and allow yourself to develop tunnel vision with one thing in mind - that you will not continue living like this. Say "I am not going to live like this anymore."

Commitment to Change

When you see someone who has something you want, congratulate them. This small gesture will extend back and open you up to receiving it as well.

Antidote to Jealousy

In our lives, we often feel resentment towards people when they don't meet our expectations. But why? We create an image of how we want them to be, and when they don't fit into that picture, we feel disappointed.However, if we let go of our expectations and accept people for who they truly are, we can see their unique value and appreciate them for the role they play in our lives. 🤝

About Resentment

Healing begins with admitting the truth about ourselves and our actions, without making excuses. This means taking full responsibility for our lives.It also requires us to be open to making changes and stepping out of our familiar routines. This might be uncomfortable, but it's necessary for growth. 🌱

Step towards Healing

Awareness: Recognizing and understanding our emotions.Acceptance/ Validation: Acknowledging and validating our emotions, even if they may be difficult.Action: Taking constructive steps to manage and regulate our emotions.

Three Steps of Emotion Processing

People will respect you far more if you can acknowledge that you are an imperfect person like everyone else.

When we fail out of negligence, we take a step back and slow the progress. But, when we fail while attempting new feats, we take one step closer to what will work next time.

Falling and Failing

The book urges us to focus on overcoming the obstacles that are present in our own mind. The thoughts and emotions shapes our relality, either leading to great or miserable life

THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT SELF-SABOTAGE.Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it-for good.Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb.In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
