Step 4: Which Challenges In Your Life Are Constant?

 

Most of us have challenges that persist in our lives. It might be our weight, finances, loneliness, depression, or a lack of satisfaction and/or fulfillment. The issues that persist in your life are important to understand.

Make a list of the challenges that keep persisting in your life.

 

For each challenge on your list, ask yourself the following question:

 

• You have the power to change nearly anything, so why does that one challenge in your life always seem to hang around?
• What are the limiting beliefs you have that are associated with this challenge in your life?
• What excuses are you making?
• What are you going to start doing differently?

• What advice would you have for yourself?
• What does the way you spend your time say about you?
