Ep 150: The 5 reasons you’re behind

You're Welcome with Hilary Rushford

What’s stealing your time? I asked myself that question while using my Elegant Excellence Journal one morning.

When we’re behind most of us tend to go to one main reason. Perhaps that’s beating yourself up, or blaming others. Perhaps it’s a sense of failure that makes you procrastinate, or a believe you can solve it through perfection that amps you up into overdrive.

What I realized is there are actually 5 different scenarios it could be. By opening up those possibilities, now I opened up my options.

I didn’t have to just blame myself, but also sometimes I could take that ownership because I wasn’t making it “my fault” 100% of the time which is exhausting.

I didn’t have to just accept it, but also sometimes I could have that acceptance and release because it didn’t leave me empowered that 100% of the time there’s nothing I can do to feel more safe or less overwhelmed.

Suddenly I felt less like a failure or a victim.

When we realize the habit groove we’ve been creating of one narrative isn’t the only option, our thinking expands, and we don’t keep banging into the same tender spot again and again.

Listen in today and see which of the 5 reasons you’re behind lead you to the biggest breakthrough of peace, permission, or an action plan.
