Summary: Perhaps you are already finding yourself struggling to work towards your goals this 2021. On this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast, Kimi talks about the main barrier that could be getting in your way and how to shift your mindset to overcome. Your mind is the one thing that can make or break your progress towards your goals because it can either help or hinder you from getting there. Here are some of the reasons that your mind could be holding you back: 1. Worrying too much about other people – Your mind could get caught up in worrying about what people think or say about you and keep you from moving forward. Instead, work to shelter yourself from their thoughts. Funneling out the noise will help you get back on track and make progress. 2. Thinking that COVID-19 is a barrier – While there may be some changes or restrictions, you can still choose to adapt and be cognitively flexible and work towards your goals despite the effects of the pandemic. There are also opportunities such as virtual networking events, courses, and coaching sessions that you can take advantage of during this time that might not normally be an option for you. 3. Thinking that things need to be perfect – If you are worrying that what you have to say is not good enough for you to put it out there, you are really just procrastinating. Put some time and thought into a system of checks and balances that will help you know what is good enough to put out there and keep you from analysis paralysis. Do what you can with what you have and make the best of your circumstances. You will be stronger for sticking with your goals and overcoming the barriers in your mind.
