How To Stop Being Paralyzed By Life's Obstacles
Health & Wellness
By Lindsey Vertner
Way too often, we become paralyzed by our obstacles. We become paralyzed by the fear of failure or the fear of not being good enough or the fear of rejection! We become paralyzed by the view of our current reality because we have no clue how it'll turn around. We stop taking action. We stop doing what we know needs to be done. We stop believing. We stop walking in our purpose.
But here's what I want you to do...
Stop looking at obstacles as loss. Instead, ask yourself what are you gaining? What are you learning? Who are you becoming? What people, things or beliefs are you shedding because they no longer serve the best version of you (& this is the only type of loss acceptable).
1. Understand that everyone is not going to believe in or understand your vision & will project their limiting beliefs/experiences onto you. And don't fault them as we all have the tendency to project our personal experiences and beliefs onto others to some extent.
2. You won't overcome your obstacle if you don't first envision yourself on the other side of it. Because that visualization is going to lead to a shift in your thoughts which will lead to a shift in your behaviors which will lead to a shift in your reality.
3. Stop focusing on what you did or didn't do in the past. Instead focus on what you can do right now for your future. Understand that you are more than good enough to boldly walk into your future you. It may not be easy, & it will definitely require you to do the work.
Do these 3 things, and you'll begin to stop letting your obstacles walk all over you.
P.S. In 2007, I fully recovered from a “fatal” car wreck that left me brain-dead and paralyzed. So, I know a thing or two about obstacles!
