We stand in our own way, all the time. The little voice that says, “you can’t“. It is time to question that voice. Why can’t you? I talk about baby steps all the time, but what if you put both feet in, jump, add a hop. You might fail, you might fall, and if you do… what? Nike brand had something with the logo.. Just Do It. The voice in your head is a roadblock, when there is a roadblock, make a detour. Roadblocks add time, they are a diversion, when you have to get somewhere, you have to take them. Or go home. Moan about it, I am sure someone will listen.
Is it worth the stress not to? I talk to myself and I have told myself to shut up! Seriously, my inner voice is loud about so many things. I try to put a face to the voice, I can blame all kinds of things, it is me. There will always be a reason not to, that will never change. You are the narrator, you rewrite that story, edit, delete, backspace. Let’s pretend those buttons are broken. Pretend it is someone else’s story you are writing. Now the choices are not for you, the outcomes and storyline are for someone you love and care about. Will that story change now?
This is how it all comes together. Being a driving force for someone else, it changes everything. It brings passion, empathy, compassion, you don’t want them to fail. Plan for them, advocate, let them have the best experience! How does the story look now. Isn’t funny how it changes when you need to be someone else’s guide. The bias, the voice is different. Give yourself that love, we are all so hard on ourselves. We are our own worst enemy, nobody is as hard on ourselves as we are. When that new narrative is done, transition it into your life. Be kind to yourself…
