Ever get the feeling that every time you try to move forward in life, you accidentally move backwards instead?
Don’t worry because you’re not alone!
This week, a reader writes to FitPerez’s own professional life coach, Dr. J, for advice on moving forward with their lives, asking:
“Why is it Every Time I do something, I take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back?”
Dr. J says:
Life is full of twists, tweaks and u-turns. Become fabulously forensic. Immediately identify what you’re moving toward? Short term, Long term, What are your terms? What is your Calling? Have you ever tried moving side to side? Establish what side you’re on. Are You on the side of Progress or are you on the side of Perfection? Or are you____________? Don’t equate delay with defeat. Next, do you have a PlayBook? Everyone needs a plan of attack for achievement. Are you running down the field on eggshells, habitually hestiant? Or are you wielding your walk wisely around the bases? Before You embark on your next task, Ask Yourself what disempowering habits are sabotaging your steps. Update your Playbook so you can stay one step ahead and one step closer to your desires.
