Getting Out of Our Own Way

What does it mean “to get out of our own way?”  Spiritually speaking, this is a statement used quite frequently.   Essentially, it means that one must step aside, quiet the mind and let Spirit (God, Source, Universe) speak to us and guide us to our next step.

        I have seen a lot of people that are yearning and crying for their life to change.  They are unhappy with how things are going for them and they so desperately want to make a change.  However, we as humans either come from a place of faith, trust and love or we come from a place of fear and doubt.  Oftentimes, people talk themselves out of making a change, even a little one, because within the current life they are living, they at least know what to expect and the thought of making a change can be terrifying .  Hence, they are standing in their own way…  The only way for there to be change is for there to be change.

        If you are currently in a position where you just can’t stand it any longer.  Something needs to change.  Consider this:  What can you do to illicit a change?  How can your behavior, attitude or perception change?  We can only change ourselves.  No one can change us and we can not change anyone else. 

        As I’ve coached people through this roadblock and they awakened to the idea of “getting out of their own way”, I watched in wonder and awe as their lives started to give way to fascinating new things!  I feel like a Momma watching her baby take his first steps!  I sit by and watch it all happen before my eyes and how joyful this not only makes them, but me as well! 

        I’m here to say, it is not as hard as it may seem.  All it takes is the willingness to release the stubborn thoughtforms and ideas and listen for your divine guidance to present to you your next step.  The universe will only give you what you can handle so feel safe in knowing that this next move will only propel you forward into the joyous life you seek.

The Five Step process-

1.     Acknowledge the need for change.

2.   Be willing.

3.   Release to the Universe.

4.   Have faith.

5.   Listen to your messages.

I applaud you for taking the very first step by reading this article and I double applaud you for the changes in perception you are no doubt on the road to making!

Peace and love,
