If you are having trouble with follow through and motivation, don’t worry it may not be your fault. Discover why……
We have been battling or even ignoring obstacles over our lifetime already. We may not realize we are doing it or how debilitating this is.
If your response in the past has been to quit when the going gets tough, now – this challenge – is a great opportunity to face at least one of your obstacles.
There are so many obstacles:
There are personal obstacles. Some of them are: psychological, behavioral or just our state of mind.
There are social obstacles, including: people who can be uncooperative or even sabotage you, shame you, bully you (even adults do this), put you down, or impose their own insecurities onto you.
There are environmental obstacles. Some are: unexpected occurrences, circumstances and instances over which we have no control.
Not to mention: bad habits, time management, organization, preparedness, fears, excuses, procrastination, inexperience and negative thoughts and energy.
To get started – recognize and admit what is standing in your way.
This is a journal exercise. Make a list of EVERY obstacle you own up to. (This may take more than one sitting.) Every time another occurs to you, add it to the list. While the process may feel overwhelming and negative in its own right, admitting what is standing in your way is the first step to change. We may even see a pattern of thoughts and behaviors emerge. Then we will know where to begin.
For the rest of this challenge, I will be writing about obstacles. Remember an extra benefit of achieving this “90 Day Challenge” is to create good habits, experience and self confidence that lasts a lifetime.
