Obstacles


Daily Reflection
Obstacles. We all encounter them along our path. There are external obstacles and internal obstacles. Sometimes an external obstacle (loss of a job, move to a new place, death of a loved one) creates an internal obstacle (those thoughts and patterns that we hold on to that no longer serve us). Spend a part of today reflecting on both your external obstacles and your internal obstacles.

In your journal write down a list of your external and internal obstacles. Think about how one effects the other. Think about the relationship between the two. What is your biggest obstacle right now? How might you work more harmoniously with this obstacle? Is there a way to make it softer and less intrusive in your life? Are you ready to let it go?

  1. I think most people (myself included) allow external obstacles to rule their lives. So hard to let it go sometimes and realize that it's your reaction to the external obstacle that's important. How do you handle the external obstacle within yourself. How do you not let it become a hang up in your internal world, and how do you learn from it and move on.
