When life wobbles – Overcoming The Obstacles of Life
1 February, 2022
Obstacles can open doors to a new place, Let the obstacles be a chance to look at the things that prevent you moving forward, take the opportunity to look at your life, at your future. At first it can feel awkward, clunky, frightening and even sad. Why sad? Perhaps you have realised that what you hoped for, dreamed of or even expected just isn’t going to happen. You may feel many conflicting emotions.
When we suddenly become aware of the impact something is having on our life we need to think about how we are reacting to it. Taking responsibility for our reactions is how we can move forward and not allow it to hurt us anymore or not allow it to prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. We are responsible for how we feel. We can decide if we are going to continue to allow the ‘bad stuff’ to impact on our life, to continue to drag ‘the negative feelings’ around like a heavy ball and chain, to continue to have that internal battle in our head of I wish I hadn’t done that, I wish I hadn’t said that. Those, ‘what if moments’, the constant battle with the negative thoughts of how you are not good enough, questioning your ability to change and doubting yourself.
We can make change happen, do not let the negative energy and thoughts drag you down, you are in control of them. Take back control and accept the responsibility you have to make that change. Believe.
When I took that huge step to become a Grief Specialist the thought of even getting on the train, on my own to travel to Brighton to do the training was so overwhelming. Then the act of setting up my own business Facebook account, again completely consumed me, those voices in my head telling me it was ‘too hard’, ‘you won’t be able to do it’.
All that negative energy that is just so exhausting.
Well I did it!! I did travel to Brighton, on my own, I did my training, I became A Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. I started my own business Facebook Account. I know run a successful business. I now regularly teach others how to overcome the fear, pain and anxiety that may be holding them back and preventing from having that clearer mind set and the future they strive for and deserve.
I strive to be the best me and to push my boundaries whenever I can. My latest obstacle arrived very recently when I needed to build a completely new website!! Technology really isn’t my thing!! Then it started!! In jumped those voices. Do you know the ones I mean? Those self limiting belief ones!!
Well do you know what? I can do it and I did do it. I took responsibility for those negative reactions, I worked out what it was I needed to do and how I needed to do it. I made myself a list, had a stern word with myself and sent the negative thoughts packing.
You see we become comfortable with what is familiar to us, even if we know it is detrimental to us. Allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone, face your fear and do it anyway, push through that fear and take that path to a brighter tomorrow.
Even the obstacles of life, which let’s face it, we all face at some time, can be seen as a chance to start again. Let go of the old, unlock that ball and chain. Believe in yourself – face the fear and do it anyway! Believe
