    Creative Success Strategy#44: Identifying Common Barriers to Change



    Are you feeling stuck or afraid to tackle a challenge that you know you must? Change is a certainty and a constant in life, but it's also unnerving and frightening and we often resist it vehemently. What helps is to identify the specific barrier you need to dynamite through. Here are some common barriers that block our ability to make life changes that we know we need to, such as networking with new people so we can increase our referral sources or learning a new skill. Check to see if any of the following barriers are detouring you from the path to success:

    1) Not eliminating unrealistic options and therefore staying overwhelmed

    2) Having such overly high standards that you can't move forward and experiment with ideas, including allowing yourself to make mistakes

    3) Continually procrastinating so that you never spend any time on your project, even 30 minutes a week

    4) Not being wholeheartedly committed to a goal that you know you want and will make you happier and healthier

    5) Fear of rejection or being misunderstood

    6) Being totally inflexible about how this challenge can be achieved

    7) Not being assertive with others about your goals and needs

    8) Not being willing to share your ups and downs with others and ask for support

    9) Forgetting to reward yourself when you accomplish a mini-goal!

    Awareness is the first step towards change. Identify which of these barriers to change have a hold on your life and begin to dismantle it--one step at a time.
