9 Days to Christmas: Sense of Humour
By now, you might be on your way to the family. Be very sure that the first thing you pack is your sense of humour.
Anxiety keeps your mind busy and your actions paralyzed.
Have you ever entered into a mind tug-o-war? You have a strong desire to go out and achieve your greatest dream. It fills you with excitement and lights you up, but then fear sets in, and you start doubting yourself. You may think, "The time is not right," "I am not ready," or "It will never work out." You may feel deflated and reach for distractions like your phone or a snack, or tell yourself, "I am so tired."
Sure, you are tired. You are constantly battling with yourself in your mind. You are using all your available energy to remain in a place you don't want to be, all because of perceived thoughts based on self-imposed limitations. You are envisioning an outcome that hasn't even happened yet.
Clear the limiting thoughts and self-sabotage so you can focus your energy on taking action. This will lead to motivation, vision, focus, drive, and creativity, allowing you to actively work towards your goal.
