Whether you're setting out to rediscover yourself, find your passion, build a business, create a fulfilling relationship and everything in between, this is a journey. It takes time, patience, trial and error, exploration and experimentation.

If you have a reason why you can't do something every single time you need to take that next scary step, you're probably making an excuse. Do you really, absolutely can not function unless it is done, need to clean the house before you can sit down do something that's going to be uncomfortable? Do you really, absolutely don't have another moment and never waste a minute on Facebook or watching TV, not have the time to do what you said you would do to move forward? Really truly?

If you take a moment and really pause with what you're stuck on, rather than trying to push right through it so you can keep moving forward, you're going to find that there's something you need to deal with. A limiting belief, a story you're telling yourself, a doubt or fear, something you're not clear on or need support with, etc. You're stuck where you are because there's something blocking you.

Make it a point to check in every two to three weeks or once a month. How are you feeling about this goal? Does it still excite you, is it still something you want? What's working for you and what's not? Where do you need to change your plan, expectations, strategies or goals so that you can keep moving forward without overwhelming yourself? If you don't want this anymore, why not? What would you prefer instead? How can you make shifts to support this newly desired direction?
