I've come to understand that self-actualization is a multi-step process (no-way simplified here):
1. Identifying what you want.
2. Stop jeopardizing or witholding yourself.
3. Act!
For me #2 is the biggest challenge cuz it holds everything in place (i.e. it becomes real). For #2, there's NLP, meditation, affirmation, etc. I think EFT is one of the best ways to quell limiting beliefs (google: emotional freedom techniques affirmation limiting beliefs).
All limits are held in place by energy (any form: physiological, chemical, electrical, etc). EFT helps reset the flow, and re-balances the energy levels, essentially restoring the flow. Basically you become complete with yourself. I.e. all limits are now realized and held as concepts and ideas without the emotional investment, or being "caught up in it". You end up "letting the belief go" and move on. Another benefit is that it's fast. You can have limit after limit piled on top of each other, but EFT is quick and driving to the real core of the issue.
You can then use other techniques to empower, act, etc.
P.S. when doing EFT, notice any physical/feeling changes immediately. I seem to burp alot when working on anger issues...
