What if I’m not making progress?
What if I’m not making progress?
Often when progress is not being made, we have been stalled by obstacles of our own creation. We should take some reflective time to ask ourselves what is blocking our progress. This is a useful tool for us to implement. Talking it over with someone and hearing ourselves think out loud is another option. Finally, we could start a journal and write out the story we are telling ourselves. If these three options encourage us to move forward we will start making choices and we will keep making choices. If we release the notion that each choice needs to be “perfect,” then we allow ourselves the freedom to learn from the experience of making choices and we get better and better at making good choices. For example, when we start an exercise program, we aren’t expected to have the fitness level of a fitness leader, however over time by exercising and engaging in proper nutrition, we expect to build up our capacity and our muscle strength. The same is true with making choices. The capacity and strength of making choices will increrase over time and through regular practice. Make a choice, then make another choice. The choice-making muscle is yours to develop.
Abundance and bliss,
