We create most of the obstacles that are in our way.
A wise coach and healer I worked with some time ago said this:
If you say you want something and don’t have it, your desire to not have it is greater than your desire to have it.
Provocative, right?
We’ve been taught to fight obstacles, to attack them, to tackle them, to combat them, to defeat them. We put a ton of energy into them. We focus, we analyze, we strategize, we struggle, we analyze again. It’s as if we are at war with ourselves. It’s exhausting.
Mental traps that get in our way are limiting beliefs and thoughts, self doubt and negative self talk, mega fear and anxiety, addiction to distractions, procrastination and perfectionism.
What if instead of getting into a mental and emotional tizzy and battling it out, you put all your energy into creating what you really want?
Ask yourself these 3 questions:
What obstacles do I create?
Why do I?
How much do I really “want what I say I want?”
You can have anything you want but it takes clarity, confidence, conviction, commitment and a whole lot of action. And an unwavering trust and faith in yourself.
Use your mental and emotional energy – wisely. You got this.
