7 Tips to Get Out of Your Own Way

Let the truth be told, sometimes it’s us.  Sometimes we're the reason we aren’t where we want to be.  The good news is we can make some changes to better move forward.  Here are 7 quick tips to consider for you to get out of your own way.

1. Know Your Fears - Acknowledge and accept your fears. Recognizing your fears and accepting them is a great first step.  Without this, you risk avoiding things designed to take you to the next level.

2. Set Small Goals - Going big is great and all but little things make big impacts. By having small achievable goals and an action plan to reach them you bring yourself closer to your big goal without being your worst critic for not having it all done already.

3. Comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. More often, things aren’t what they seem and it’s unhealthy if it’s your major motivation. Instead, focus on your own progress and accomplishments.

4. Practice self-care. Take time to relax and recharge by engaging in activities that bring you joy.

5. Challenge your limiting beliefs. Ask yourself if your beliefs are true and if they are helping or hindering you.

6. Make time for reflection. Regularly take time to reflect on your progress and identify areas you can improve.

7. Let go of perfectionism. Perfectionism can prevent you from taking action and prevent you from achieving your goals. Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them.

These in addition to other self-care processes can make a big impact on your overall wellness while moving toward your aspirations.  Whatever stage of the journey you're in, congratulations on starting! You got this!
