Overcoming Roadblocks

ROADBLOCK #1 - You Have the wrong ATTITUDE:

  • Your attitude plays a huge role in accomplishing everything.

  • Check Yourself: If you start to believe that you must have a “PERFECT PROCESS” or already have negative attitude towards the process.

  • Action Item: Before even creating your goal, start with telling yourself that You are CAPABLE, You CAN do it, and allow room for grace.

ROADBLOCK #2 – You’re Doing too Much too Fast.

  • Your initial excitement may lead you to try and take on multiple new behaviors & action items that align with your bigger goal or multiple goals.

  • Check Yourself: If you become overwhelmed and less motivated due to restrictions, check lists & calendars.

  • Action Item: Choose one area of life/goal and ‘work that plan” until you master it and then move on to another area.

ROADBLOCK #3 – Your Goals Are Vast & Vague

  • Your goals may be vast, vague and unspecific making it harder or even impossible to achieve them.

  • Check Yourself: If your goal lacks specific guidelines.

  • Action Item: Be as specific as possible! Many of you have heard of the popular acronym SMART, which is helpful in setting goals that are: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

ROADBLOCK #4 – You’re Easily Influenced

  • You’re basing your goals/plan on your peers, social media influences and culture.

  • Check Yourself: If you focus on a goal/plan based on someone’s else success, opinion, or experience, we are all so different and doing this will cause you to face an immediate roadblock.

  • Action Item: Take account of all aspects of your life into consideration when creating a goal. There is nothing wrong with seeking advice based on someone’s experience, but their plan may not work for you and your lifestyle.
