Mental Block
Mental block is a situation of mind where we are stuck at a negative perception of impossibility. Our mind tells us that we are incapable or inept at a particular task, whereas our sensibilities tell us that we are capable enough to complete that work. Whenever an elephant is caught for the first time, it is tied by strong chains to a big tree. For some days it tries hard to free himself but fails. In the end, it gives up and accepts the situation. Later, even when it is tied by a weak chain to a small tree, it does not try to fight back as the perception in its mind is that it cannot break free. This is an example of a mental block.“I can not do this work, it is not possible for me” and some of the different kinds of mental locks that have a hold on our mind. A negative attitude is a big companion of mental block. Because of this state of mental block, we are unable to give up our bad habits. By developing a positive mind set , we can remove this mental block from our minds. Always remember, nothing is impossible in this world. Once we pledge that we will go ahead and remove our mental block, then no goal will be unthinkable for us.
Without effort, nature will not allow you to proceed further.
