5 Ways to Break Through Your Mental Blocks

There is a script running inside your head that reveals the story of your mental blocks. It tells you that you aren’t smart enough, healthy enough, resourceful enough or motivated enough to achieve your goals. These mental blocks are a harmful combination of self-doubt, anxiety and the fears you hold, like the fear of failure, rejection, and being weak. Have you convinced yourself that you aren’t strong enough to transition to a healthier lifestyle? Are you afraid of being rejected when you ask for that raise at work? Do you think it’s impossible for you to reach your goal weight? You can burn the script and break through your mental blocks with Live Lethal’s helpful guidance!

Here are 5 ways to break through your mental blocks and get back on track to success:

1. Visualize: You’ve heard it many times – visualize what you want and it will manifest. Yet, in order for it to work, you must first visualize stomping on your fears. Fear is much like a living, breathing monster lurking in the shadows of your subconscious, so picture it, put a face on it and then visualize defeating it. While visualization may seem silly at first, you will experience a sense of relief when the fear monger is vanquished by your hand.

2. Face it: Mental blocks must be faced to be erased. Get out your laptop, device or a piece of paper and write statements about what you want to achieve. Begin each sentence with “I want…” Be specific, realistic and break them down into mini-goals. Then, make a list of anything that might stop you from achieving your goals. Finally, write down a solution for each obstacle.

3. Prepare: Luck doesn’t favor the prepared. The prepared are rewarded for their efforts. Understand what you need to do to reach your goals. No goal is an island unto itself, so you must adequately prepare whether that means eating 5 small meals a day to keep your energy levels up so you can exercise to reach your ideal weight or earning a new certification to boost your value as an employee at work so you can get that raise when you ask for it.

4. Seek out advice: Chances are someone out there has been plagued by the same self-doubt you are feeling, so look for insightful words of wisdom on how to accomplish your goals by turning to an expert, such as a fitness guru, nutritionist, life coach or career mentor.

5. Put everything aside: Stress can play a big role in feeling overwhelmed and incapable of achieving your goals. Go out for a run. Hit the gym. Take a brisk walk on a nature trail. Let off steam, so you can cool down and break through your mental blocks with a rejuvenated spirit. Mental blocks are all that stands in your way of living the life you want. Harness the power within you to overcome your fears – you can do it! Live Lethal believes in you!
