S2. E24. "Have you ever encountered an obstacle that stood in your way?"

This week we are talking about obstacles and how they keep us from reaching our goals.  Have you ever heard of the phrase, "The obstacle is the way"?  This is something that we have been working toward embracing for the past few years as health coaches.  Having this outlook that obstacles are set before us to guide us instead of block us, is a key component to overcoming our mental limitations.

Mentally we quit on ourselves long before our bodies actually quit.  If we can practice keeping our head on the 'straight and narrow' then we have demonstrated that we are capable of health and longevity.  

This mental toughness takes lots of time and practice to get a good handle on.  We will have days that go really well and others that feel super hard!  That's life!

It doesn't just happen to you, it happens to all of us.  So find a partner in crime who can help you to see the whole picture and someone who you can trust to provide you with unbiased feedback on your ability to navigate the obstacles in your life.  Work with a mentor or coach to help you to build the foundation that this principle is built on.
