Have you ever been in a situation where you knew exactly what had to be done, but, for some reason, felt as if you couldn't move ahead? Emotional obstacles frequently emerge at the very moment we have to make a difficult decision. Decision makers need a methodology that will allow them to overcome these emotional blocks in order to make solid decisions and take action. Proactive Focusing is a self-reflective technique that will improve focus, decrease overreactions, increase your ability to examine and manage your feelings and emotions, and help you remove blocks that delay action and impede your success.
