Obstacles

So if you are about resolutions and you have made goals, Bravo! If you have not, or already dropped them, good try! I have started a Joy Jar, everyday I write something specific that has brought me joy. On a specific date, you pull them out and reminisce over these accumulated moments. You can also keep track of what prevents joy and then decide how to avoid hurdles in the way. Implementing exercises to help recognize time wasters in your day so you can be your most productive self.

Brain space robs me of joy! I am guilty of not taking time to deal with things throughout my day. When you don’t say what you think or maybe feel about something or if you don’t ask for help, you can not move forward with certain things. I mean brain storming should give you a solution, ultimately that is the point. If you find you are constantly pointing at others and giving them the power to be your obstacle, then you are not taking any ownership.

You are your advocate for change, for reaching your potential. Sometimes you need to put things aside and delegate so others can take over for you while you do the things you want or even need. I used to insist on making my own sandwich, because I couldn’t trust someone to make it the way I like it. Let people practice being you, let them try on your footsteps. It will not be 100% you, but perhaps a close second! Then maybe for a minute you can grow and be the you, that you strive to be!
