Get Out of Your Own Way
What would happen if you could learn to notice \u2013 and to see \u2013 the self-imposed obstacles you put in your path? Today, I am sharing how we can learn to get out of our own way by spotting the hurdles we create for ourselves.
Let\u2019s be real: life happens, and obstacles that are not in our control happen. But the self-imposed obstacles that take up our energy are like clutter \u2013 they keep the important stuff from being noticed or being seen.
More importantly, we need to know what our stories and self-imposed obstacles look like, so we can spot them when they appear. Once we learn to recognize them, we can more easily notice them and see them for what they are, and then choose our next steps from a place of awareness and discernment.
