If you've ever taken a train, there is often a reminder written on the platform, or a recorded message, telling you to "mind the gap", ensuring your safety as you take a step off the platform and into the train. This safety measure was first introduced in 1968, long before the overly distracted times that we currently live in, offering us a measure of awareness when we might have other things we're focused on.
Thankfully minding and bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be doesn't have to be impossible or dream-stealing. Crossing that bridge just takes some awareness of what makes change so difficult and how to transition your goals from an impossibility to a possibility.
If like a lot of working moms, you aren't living your best life and want to do something about it, you first need to understand the concept of cognitive dissonance and how it's making it so challenging for you to bridge any gap you find yourself facing. Just know that If you have a desire, you also have the ability to make that desire a reality when you understand what's getting in your way and how to use this awareness to have what you want.
This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast I discuss what cognitive dissonance is, why it's a problem and how you can successfully bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
