#7 Distinguishing Between Resistance and Overwhelm
Feeling exhausted and unmotivated? It could be a sign that it’s time to slow down, take a break, or even reassess your goals. It could also be your self-doubt and fear physically manifesting in you and making you resist taking action. The difference between resistance and needing to take a rest can be hard to distinguish. Getting it wrong can be detrimental to either your health or your success. In this episode, I share several powerful questions to ask yourself to help you determine the cause of your lack of energy. I also give helpful tips on how to beat exhaustion and start moving forward with your goals.
Journal your answers to the following questions and see what comes up!
Uncovering fear and resistance:
- What would happen if I were to have everything I want?
- Where are my thoughts getting in the way?
- Where in my body do I feel stuck?
- How might my actions (putting off what I need to do) be protecting me?
- What specific actions am I avoiding?
- What feelings am I avoiding?
- What am I too afraid to say out loud?
Figure out if it’s time for a break or to reassess goals:
- Where do I have unrealistic expectations of myself?
- Where am I too hard on myself?
- What rules do I have about how I should act and what I should do?
- What does it say about me if I take a break?
- What might it cost me if I take a step back?
- What might it cost me if I don’t take a step back?
- What are my values? Does this project still align with them?
