I used to think it was obstacles that stood in my way to having everything I want. And the WOOP visualization process is what created this idea for me
WOOP is visualizing the wish you have, how the outcome would feel, acknowledging the obstacles in your way, and seeing the process you take to overcome the obstacles.
However last night I realized it's actually doubt not obstacles. Visualization is a tool to help with embodiment. In order for us to have what we want, we need to move like we already have it, which is basically embodiment. SO when doing visualization we need to think about what doubts stand in our beliefs, and visualize the process of surpassing that doubt, where that doubt is not even a question.
It's no longer "What stands in your way in getting financial freedom" but it's "Why would you think you couldn't have financial freedom".
And if the answer is "I don't know what the path to get there looks like" that isn't a doubt. That's a signal that there isn't enough opportunity presenting itself to you right now which means you need more information.
TO get more information you must Express. When you are out in the world and you express who you are, opportunities aligned to you present themselves even if they're really small at first.
This is just a journal entry basically, but the main thing I learned is don't bother with obstacles those are just the manifestations of doubt. Instead address the doubts and counter those doubts with real world examples of people who were like you or even book characters like you who still made it in the way they want.
