Getting Out of Your Own Way with Brittany Johnson, LMHC

Published: Dec. 19, 2019, 11:40 p.m.

We are in a season when most people are getting ready to do something great at the beginning of the year. They are getting ready to get back in the gym or getting ready to start their business. Now, while it is great to have a goal and a start date many have repeated a start and stop cycle over the years. This is your motivation to get started and not stop until you reach your goal.

In my own journey, I can pinpoint the moments when I was in my own way mentally and physically. There was a period when I found myself collecting information and launching with no results. Was it me? Was it the information? After some sefl=evaluation I realized that I was doing all of these different things but none of it fit my personality. I had an aha moment, I wasn't really standing in what I knew was my zone of greatness. In all honesty, many don't know what we actually bring to the table.

I know you may have heard people say that "we have to get out of our own way" but do you understand what that means in your journey? What is the breakdown of being in your own way?

Self-sabotage
Procrastination
Thinking you are not good enough
Impostor syndrome


In today's episode, Brittany shares what it looks like when we get in our own way and the steps we must take in order to gain control of our journey. Have you been seeing that certain things continue to occur in your life? You almost feel like you are on a merry go round in your business, life, relationships or health. You are not alone.

This is the best time to evaluate where you are and do some soul searching about where you really want to go. You don't have to wait until the 1st for you to start achieving your goals but you do have to get out of your own way.
