Recognizing repression
There's several different kinds of blocks. We'll deal with the first one here, the one most easily recognizable and the most easily transcended. That's repression. Repression affects you consciously. The other two, limiting beliefs, and cognitive bias, are deeper. You need to get over your repression before you can tackle anything else.
You recognize repression when you want to do something, but can't bring yourself to. It's like a giant hand forcing you back. Repression is usually the gift of childhood experience. Somebody told you to hate your body, so you can't ever look at it and feel good. Good feelings should flow all over you, anywhere you're going, anything you look at, and in any situation you find yourself in. Repression keeps those good feelings from flowing.
The key to eliminating repression blocks is to simply become aware of it, and focus positively on letting the energy flow. If it's anger that's repressed, then you'll find yourself always holding your anger back, never letting it reach its apex. You release anger repression by psyching yourself up as much as you can, getting angrier and angrier until you boil over. When you boil over, all of a sudden the energy will release itself. You'll feel suddenly silly that you let yourself get worked all up.
Follow through is key too. It's very common to, after releasing a block, to feel guilty about it and to subconsciously put the block back in place. It feels comfortable to be blocked. Follow through is in not putting the block back. Change those feelings around so you feel good about what you did. It will be easy to do this, but if you forget, then you'll put the cap right back on the bottle!
