Tips to Knock Down Your Barriers
We all face barriers in our lives, and sometimes we wish we had a magic wand to make
them disappear. We haven’t found that magic wand yet, but we have two tips for you
that might help you knock down those barriers you are facing today.
Be Self-Aware:
Being self-aware simply means that you can observe yourself from a
non-judgmental perspective. When you are self-aware, you can catch yourself in the
present moment experiencing a speci c state, reaction, or feeling. The more you are
aware of your emotions, the more you start to understand yourself. For example, you
might observe that you tend to be reactive when someone provides you with a
suggestion on how to do something different, or you catch yourself nervously
laughing at a situation that isn’t funny.
When you are aware of your emotions, you have a better idea of who you are
and how you tend to react in certain situations. It is also the best way to improve
yourself on certain aspects that you don’t find optimal. You become less driven by drama.
Not only will self-awareness help you remove the barriers in your life, but it will also help
you with the following:
Experience a greater ability to recognize your emotions
Improve your critical thinking
Improve your relationships
Live in the present moment
Experience more joy and happiness
Self-awareness is the key to live a life without barriers.
Build your self-esteem:
Self-esteem is the way we perceive or evaluate our worth
and is the ultimate belief we place on ourselves. People with high self-esteem tend
not to see problems as a barrier but an opportunity for growth. On the other hand,
people with low self-esteem will often stop themselves from doing something
because they feel they are not capable of. You can increase your self-esteem by
appreciating yourself.
Have the goal of becoming your best friend. Take some time
to hang out with yourself once in a while. It will help you build a level of comfort in
being by yourself. Add some self-care during those moments; it will help you
increase self-respect. Compassion toward ourselves and self-love will often lead to
better self-esteem and higher self-con dence.
No barriers will stand in your way.
