Lighthouse: Following Your Path
Have you noticed that whenever you are presented with an opportunity to broaden yourself, there comes resistance? This is not a coincidence—this is your brain trying to protect you. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between good or bad when it comes to you achieving something new. All it knows is that this is a new experience you are attempting, which is unfamiliar to your brain. So how do you continue?
Taking Small Steps Forward
Studies show that when you take reinforced baby steps towards your goals despite those reluctant thoughts, you allow for the gradual ease of comfort. It’s not to say fear will totally subside; as time goes by, the push and pull will slowly move towards motivation.
My Personal Experience
This is something I’ve noticed whenever I started a new workout routine. At first, the feeling of being overwhelmed starts to manifest within my body. As I push through the new routine, something happens: I start to get not only comfortable, but a sort of excitement starts to happen. It’s not to say I’m doing the moves perfectly—my confidence starts to arise, enabling me to have a better workout experience. Something I don’t think would’ve happened if I gave into the fear.
Fear as a Guide, Not a Barrier
Remember, fear is part of you acknowledging that the path you’re on should be studied, yes—but not necessarily the road you shouldn’t take. So the next time you find yourself moving towards a new path, whether it be starting a new business or a new workout regime, step back, breathe, and remind yourself this new path is a good thing.
Move forward—you are the light the world needs.
Hugs,
