The Things That Hold You Back

 This month I'm tackling a big topic:  getting rid of what’s standing between you and your goals.

This could be what you put in your body (food) … what you focus on with your thoughts and beliefs … and anything else that’s cluttering up your health and wellness journey.

The first step is always the hardest …

It’s getting REAL and identifying exactly what’s holding you back.

It’s a challenge because we can get into autopilot with our everyday lives … and we don’t even notice what’s in our way!

I have an exercise you can do to help.

Grab your favorite pen and a journal – I prefer actual hand to paper for the best results here – and start writing.  Do a total brain dump ... no editing, no worries about spelling, punctuation,  or grammar.

 
(Pro tip: The words you will write are for YOUR EYES ONLY and you can throw away what you write later if you want!)

Make a list of ALL of the reasons you think you haven’t been able to achieve your goals.  What are those daily obstacles that keep throwing you off track and back into "unwise decision" mode?  

Seriously, write down everything!

Maybe you hate getting up early … don’t like “healthy” foods … feel like you don’t have willpower or motivation … feel overwhelmed … feel alone in your journey …  or maybe there are factors outside of your control.

Or maybe you think your goals are for other people – not for you.

Let loose and write it ALL down.

THEN, read through your list and look for common themes: time factors, mindset/motivation issues, confidence, support/accountability, etc.

This is a question I ask all my clients during their twice monthly in-person check-in meetings with me.  I call it IF/THEN PLANNING:  "You're committing to Plan A, but there are 25 other letters in the alphabet ... what's your backup plan for when 'life happens'?  How many backup plans do you need?  Identify them NOW."

Now it’s time to get into problem-solving mode and TAKE ACTION.

• Don’t have support?  Find it!  Think of the health-minded people in your circle and enlist them, search for an online community, and/or work with a coach (a real game changer).
• Not enough time?  Get creative.  Find ways to sneak health and wellness into the spare moments of your life. A coach can help with this, too.
• Mindset issues?  Surround yourself with motivation – read self-development books, watch inspiring YouTube videos, and keep a journal to track your progress. This is a HUGE area where a coach can help.

Imagine how great will it feel to finally and confidently ditch the obstacles standing between you and your goals.

INCREDIBLY GREAT.

I'm here for you if you don’t want to do it alone.
