Go For It!

We always have more strength to draw from than we initially believe; you just have to know how to reach for it and be willing to do so. When you're struggling to move forward with an idea, a goal, or desire and when something keeps stopping you from moving forward with your pursuit, it's important to become aware of the roadblock(s). However, there's no need for you to analyze it in order to move forward.
I invite you to try this strategy in an attempt to squash your fears and move you through your discomfort to you're higher place.
Imagine someone you admire; a mentor, friend; someone who has the courage or confidence to do what it is it that you are struggling to do. Find someone who inspires you. Then imagine what they would do if they were faced with this roadblock. How would they overcome it? What would they do?
Further, imagine being that person just for a minute, see what comes to your mind. Just observe what comes to mind without judging and consider writing these thoughts and observations down.
This is a strategy to help you get unstuck and move past your fears and obstacles so you can get back in touch with your own amazing strengths. Whenever you’re not ready to begin by being you, figure out a way to do it by being somebody else until you can awaken your own strength to achieve it. This can be referred to as "Faking it til you make it". You literally fake that you have the strength until you have it and the ironic thing about it is; just thinking that you have this strength automatically gives it to you.
