What’s holding you back?.. Part 2
In my last article, I talked about the defining moment, whether in athletics, business or releasing, when we get to the point where we find ourselves stuck. Back when I was in the competitive karate world and before I knew how to release, I remember feeling stuck for a year or more at a time.

I want to break this subject down and really do it justice because it’s a subject I’m very passionate about. So here goes…
Don’t Suppress Say “Yes”… and become President?
We say “Yes” a lot when we are releasing. Lester discovered that saying “No” just causes us to suppress our feelings — and this just leads to unhappiness. So we say yes to pain, yes to fear, yes to anger, yes to the ego… yes to whatever we are resisting. The more we can say yes to it, the faster it dissolves and we are free of it. Here’s an historically true story about Thomas Jefferson:
