How To Make Positive Changes And Get Unstuck From Your Rut

We’ve all been there before. You have something in your life that is just not letting you live in alignment with your higher self. You want to make a change. You reach your breaking point and decide this change must happen! You are hopeful, empowered, excited to move forward on your new path. Until…cue the dramatic music…FEAR SETS IN!

You start to doubt yourself and your ability to make the change. You think about how hard this change will be to make. You start getting overwhelmed. “How am I ever going to pull this off?” “What if I fail?” Suddenly dealing with your current situation looks about as bad as making the change. Neither option looks very good right now.

So you wait it out for a while and eventually amnesia sets in. Your current situation is familiar and comfortable. It is what you have always done. It seems like it would be easier to just keep going with what you are already doing. You have completely lost sight of the reasons why you wanted to make the change.

You backtrack into your old routine. You don’t make the change. You keep living the day to day and dealing with your same frustrations. Does this sound familiar? It sounds familiar to me as well. Yes, life coaches can have a fear of failure too! I’m pretty sure I went through this yesterday actually. The difference is recognizing what you are going through and figuring out how to BREAK THE CYCLE!

Sometimes the cycle is broken for us. Whether that be through a life-changing event such as losing a loved one or losing a job. Sometimes we become brutally honest with ourselves and realize we have been self-sabotaging. Perhaps we like being miserable.

It’s possible we have become complacent or think that the pain we have defines us in some way. For example, when you lose someone veryclose (husband, wife), your grief takes you to a place that makes you feel that if you heal, you will no longer remember the person you lost, or that you will no longer be identified the same way to others. This is a type of identity crisis.

Whatever the case may be that is causing us to resist change, we must identify the limiting beliefs that are holding us back. A limiting belief is a negative state of mind that hinders you in some way. Once identified you can work through the process of why we have those limiting beliefs.

Ask yourself why, how, what, when, where?

· Maybe you don’t want to change. Why don’t you want to change?

· Maybe you are benefiting from your problem in some way. How are you benefiting?

· Maybe your problem defines who you are. Who would you be if you didn’t have this problem?

Recognizing this state of mind is an important step to breaking the change cycle. Once you dissolve the limiting beliefs and poke holes in those theories that are holding you back, you will recognize them when they pop back into your mind.

Sometimes we are blind to the things that hold us back from making changes in our lives. We don’t realize these are the roadblocks that continuously stir up our fears of failure.
