What Is Value Conflict

Lately I have been exploring the concept of value conflicts, and this topic is extremely impactful for your growth and freedom. First I will explain what is a value conflict and how to recognize when it happens. Value conflicts are often rooted in false layers of self-identity and will block your progress.

Your subconscious mind always values truth, always values freedom, always values power and always values abundance. The problem is when other conscious values conflict with those. Or, when you have blocks towards certain values that are required to make the deeper value a reality. If you want to lose weight but don’t like exercise and love cakes, that’s a value conflict.

How did I overcome my depression? At the end of my studies in Quebec, when I was 19, I went to do my practical training abroad, and I asked not to go to France so I ended up in Finland. Out of 60 students, 4 went to Europe and I was the only one to go outside France. Why did I specifically wanted to go to a country that didn’t speak my language? Because the culture I grew up in wasn’t providing the answers I was seeking.

There is this idea that I could just have found the answers within myself, but here’s the thing. How can you find something within you that nobody around you has? Let’s say you lived in a country where self-love didn’t exist. How could you find self-love if you never saw or experienced it in your whole life? Traveling allowed me to get a broader experience of life.

So, what is depression? There are two types of depression. The first type is when there is too much anger and fears that have been stagnant for too long. The second type is when there is a sense of …Read More
