What’s holding you back?
by Journey to Health Program Director, Becky Anderson
When something is important to us (I mean REALLY important), it should be easy to find the motivation to find a way to make it a priority. IF we find ourselves unable to work towards achieving a VERY important goal, we HAVE to find out WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK??
If we are 100% honest with ourselves, we don’t need a self-help book, an expert, self-reflection, a best friend, a family member, really nobody to tell us what is keeping us from moving forward.
Sit down in a quiet spot with a piece of paper and pen. At the top write down what your goal is. Likely it is in the area of improving our health, getting to a healthier weight, becoming more active, conquering an addiction, overcoming a diagnosis. The only other thing you need to write down is WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK?
Sounds too simple? It really is. I don’t mean to make this seem so flippant, but sometimes we make things too complicated. I’m as guilty as the next person of overthinking a lot of things. Write your goal, write what is keeping you from your goal, overcome that obstacle. Period. No discussion needed.
Let’s do this!
