“I can’t do this because ...”
“I wish I could …”
Have you caught yourself in one of those traps? When all of a sudden things get difficult, and you find yourself telling a story filled with all the reasons why you can’t do something?
As human beings, our instinct is to want to take the path of least resistance as soon as we encounter problems. We start out by devising this grand scheme of a plan, and one day things don’t go as expected. It’s no longer easy. All kinds of barriers are popping up left and right, and you find yourself searching for the easy way around - the path of least resistance.
Today we talk about why this happens, what is actually deeply rooted in those stories, and how we can change that narrative. Once we can open ourselves up and be aware of these excuses and why we are making them, the possibilities to success are endless. But that awareness and acknowledgement piece are key.
We want to hear your stories about a time when you caught yourself listing off reason after reason for why you couldn’t do something. Were you able to change that narrative? And if so, how or why not? Is there a particular excuse that you find keeps coming up, no matter the context?
