How to Get Out of Your Own Way

How to Get Out of Your Own Way | City of Creative Dreams

It so sad to admit but we get on our own way. It is all about the mindset. We set up so many pinecones and police tape on things that simply get in our way. It is like we create our own traffic of thoughts that only hinder us instead of lifting us. Its straight up nonsense we tell ourselves but like it or not it is there. Imagine if we didn’t have those thoughts, you would have clear streets to get you to your destination.

Confidence Booster

Sometimes we just need to hype ourselves up. I put on my mood booster playlist and really go to town. It makes me feel like an inner boss and gets me in that ready for anything mind frame. We all got that one song or a few songs that are our power song. It relaxes any nerves and blocks out anything potential negative voices.

Pep Talk

You are able to… dominate whatever passion you want. Yes, that is easy to say than do but in reality, we say it with a question mark. We need to believe in what we are saying. Think positive. Be honest that it is not going to be easy but so worth giving it a try. Believe in yourself more than someone else because you are the most important person to listen to.

Dress the Part

Clothes can really showcase you. Think about what you wear. Does it say you are confident and strong and that you want to do whatever you have plans to do? Do it say “hey look at me I am here” in the most simple and natural way. You don’t need to go outside of your comfort zone or pretend to be someone your not. You feel your best when you wear what you love.

Take a Chance

Now is the time to bite the bullet and take a chance. What do you want to do? Is it a dream, a goal or something on your bucket list? Do it! There is no better time than the present to get it done. Once you push yourself, you will see how much you really needed that push. You feel empowered and uplifted that you can use that towards your next adventure.

Final Thoughts

Get out of your own way, my friend. Put on some mood-boosting music, give yourself a pep talk, dress the part and take a chance. Allow yourself to get out there and try. Allow yourself to experience life instead of dreaming about it. You can do it. Small step or big steps… either way you will cross off something on your list.

These are all great ways to get you where you want to be and get yourself out of your own way. […]
