How to Get Out of Your Own Way: Do Something New

hot air balloon

It’s easy to get in your own way. You can say no when you should have said yes (and vice versa), and you can give up on ideas before anything could have come from them. Sometimes these decisions are unfortunate but necessary, but sometimes they can lead to lifelong regrets and a constant wonder over what could have been. If you don’t want to look back one day and think about all the things you could have done differently, it’s time to move out of your own way and try something new

Apply, even if You Think You’ll Be Rejected

You’re the perfect fit for a lot more things than you realize.

Indeed, the more we apply ourselves to things, and apply to things, the more we’re going to achieve success and hear the word ‘yes’.

All it takes is a bit of courage and knowing you’re just as capable as anyone else of taking the world on. 

So, if you want to get a new job, but you’re not sure if you’re right for anything other than what you do now, send in your resume anyway.

Submit that book proposal, put yourself forward for that promotion, and never be afraid to ask for what you want again.

You’re still going to get quite a few rejections, but you’ll start hearing a lot more of the word yes too! And you’ll get better at asking for what you want in the process.

Release Your Energy

Energy surrounds us at all times. And our own energy, from within, is constantly percolating as well.

That amorphous energy can actually be pretty intuitive – it’s where that ‘gut feeling’ we all get comes from.

If you want to stop getting in your own way, learn to listen to what comes from within in a practical and constructive way. 

Think about this as a possibility for you.

If you need help with the concept, practitioners like Wendy Slater can help you to unblock your energy and realign it with your brain and body.

It’s a kind of healing we all could benefit from, as it’s intuitive and works with the one thing we have to rely on: ourselves! 

Stop Comparing Yourself

It’s a common form of self negativity and it’s also one of the most harmful.

The more you compare yourself to others, the more you’re going to tear yourself down from the inside.

You’re not going to take a chance on new opportunities because of the way you doubt yourself.

If only you could be as good as someone else, right? 

But you don’t need to be! Comparison takes so much from us, but it doesn’t have to. 

All you need to be is you, and if there’s something you truly want to change, just go for it! It may work, or it may not, but either way – you will gain something from the process.

Here’s to getting out of our own way, travelling new roads, and enjoying the journey.

Testimonials: Love for KindCompassCoach

"In a world that is becoming increasingly polarized, separating into ‘us’ and ‘them’ far too often, KindCompassCoach is a lighthouse for those seeking a port in the storm. Joan writes straight from her heart using her wealth of knowledge to inspire, encourage, and offer kindness to each and every reader. I love that each post challenges me to consider how I can take the wisdom offered and practice it with intention. Those of us seeking truth and guidance, find it in every single KindCompassCoach post. From how to incorporate mindfulness to accessing our bank of positive memories during times of grief or struggle, Joan encourages her readers with unconditional understanding and compassion. This blog is a gem to be enjoyed and shared!"
