On Young And Fabulous: What's Stopping You?

So now that you know your goals and you’re clear why you want to achieve those goals, it’s time to ask yourself, what’s stopping you from accomplishing your goals?

Let me give you an example.   Let’s say my goal is to fit into a size 2 jeans from my current size of 12.  Every new year, I keep stating the same goal for about 5 years now, but nothing really has changed.  I know what I want, and I’m clear what’s in it for me if I achieve that goal.  But what has been stopping me from reducing myself into a size 2?  Not even a size down!

Upon examining my life closely, I  first blame my eating habits.  Eating is my source of comfort from the stress I’m getting from work.  I don’t have time to relax, all I do is work.  When I get home, I would overeat to make myself feel better, and then I would crash.  Then the next day, the same cycle goes  again.

Doing a similar exercise on yourself, like the example above is very important.  You are trying to identify the very reasons why you’re not moving forward and coming closer to your goals, or if this is a new goal, you are trying to determine what will get in your way of accomplishing what you want.  These are the challenges you are up against, and knowing them will help you think of solutions on how you can deal with them, and eventually breakthrough from them.

So for this week, blog about what’s stopping you from getting what you want.  Take a step back and look at your life and your current lifestyle closer.  Identify the challenges your having, and preventing you from accomplishing what you want.
