Get Out of Your Own Way
You may be the one holding yourself back. You may be the biggest roadblock getting in your own way. You desire to thrive, grow, and level up; yet you are oblivious to what is getting in the way of it. It takes a considerable amount of self-awareness to be able to recognize when you are the barrier. Your limited beliefs, habitual counterproductive default behaviors and attitudes, and unhealed wounds will continue to be roadblocks. They can prevent you from having deeper connections, actualizing your highest potential, receiving and living in abundance, and being steadfast in internal joy. There is a difference between contentment and complacency - contentment is being grateful and satisfied with your life vs. complacency is the willingness to remain stagnant and unaware of your dissatisfaction. It is okay to practice contentment yet still strive for elevation, but choosing to live in complacency is another form of getting in your own way. Who doesn’t want to live their best life?
Identify the ways in which you block and delay your progress. Challenge your destructive habits and thought patterns by writing them down then write a counter positive action to make healthy improvements. Challenge the way you love and take care of yourself, so that you are actively nourishing yourself to show up as your best self more consistently. Challenge yourself to wholly forgive and release the past to help you truly move forward, enabling you to tap into more present joy. Challenge yourself to get to the root of your core wounds that when triggered causes you to revert to default reactions. These challenges will act as catalysts to jumpstart eradicating internal blockages and rewiring your mindset. Make a decision to stop holding yourself back and to say yes to doing the work to get out your own way. Your life will unfold in miraculous ways, your desires will become tangible, and you will have more room for greater levels of joy.
Joy Gem: “Do not stand in the way of your own good. Get rid of your bad thoughts, inferior attitudes and limited behaviors and good will be attracted to you. What you give out will be returned to you. It's not easy. It's not magic. But it works.” - Bryant McGill
