    It’s Time to Stop Limiting Yourself: 6 Ways to Get Over Your Mental Blocks

    Let’s face it – most of us have difficulty achieving things we want in life because of what we call ‘mental blocks’ or ‘self-imposed limits on our own thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.  Mental blocks keep us from achieving our goals and reaching new levels of success.  They are normal and almost universal.  Finding ways to overcome your mental blocks is essential if you want to be successful in practically any endeavor.  But how do you get over your mental blocks?  Here are four simple ways to break through the walls holding you back.

    1.  Change Your Thinking

    This is the first and most crucial step on the road to getting over your mental blocks.  When you are thinking negatively, you are setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy.  You can notice this happening when you say things like, “I can’t do that,” or “I’m not good enough to be successful.” This negative self-talk has no basis in fact, but you are making it into a reality.  When you think negatively, you are blocking yourself from finding solutions to your problems and making progress toward your goals.  A lot of the time, we don’t even realize that we are doing this.  But we can learn to change our negative thinking into positive thoughts that will help us overcome our mental blocks.

    2.  Simplify your situation

    When you feel like you’ve got too much going on at once, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and give up.  While it’s essential to be ambitious, you also need to learn to prioritize your activities so that you aren’t taking on too much and adding to your stress.  A way to simplify your situation and get back in control is to create a to-do list.  This helps you prioritize your activities by breaking them down into smaller, shorter tasks, so you don’t have to feel so overwhelmed by everything that you have to do.  A to-do list can also help you stay accountable to yourself if you have certain goals or ambitions that you want to achieve.

    3.  Improve your scenery

    Sometimes, the best way to get over a mental block is to get out of your own head.  This can be as simple as taking a walk outside or reading a book in a different setting.  This can help take your mind off whatever problems you’re facing and give you time to find solutions.  You can also use it as a time to regroup after facing failure

    4. Take Risks

    Taking risks can help you overcome your mental blocks by pushing you out of your comfort zone and challenging you to grow as a person.   Taking risks can often lead to failure, but without risks, you can’t ever achieve success.  It is only through attempting new things that we grow and learn.  Taking risks doesn’t mean jumping into something completely unplanned and reckless.  It means being willing to step outside of your comfort zone and do things that make you nervous.

    5.  Reinvent your mistakes

    Failing isn’t always a bad thing.  In fact, it’s an essential part of the learning process.  You can’t learn from your mistakes if you keep beating yourself up over them.  Taking risks and making mistakes is normal, and there are ways to get past them and move on.  The first step is to recognize that you’ve made a mistake.  Don’t let yourself get so caught up in self-blame that you don’t acknowledge your error.  Use your mistake as a learning opportunity.  Ask yourself why you made that decision, what you could have done differently, and what you can do to avoid making that mistake next time.

    6.  Prepare to pivot

    Sometimes you’ve tried everything you can, and you just can’t seem to get past your mental block.  When you’ve tried everything you can think of, and nothing is working, it’s time to pivot.  It means that you are willing to completely change your approach to solving your problem.  You are committed to finding a new solution.  This can be scary because it requires you to give up on the way that you’ve been trying to tackle the problem so far.  But it can also be beneficial because it means you’re willing to try something new and different.

    Bottom line

    Getting over your mental blocks is a constant process.  It’s not something that happens overnight.  It’s a lifelong journey of discovery and growth.  When you’re feeling stuck, it’s important to remember that you don’t have to solve your problems instantly.  Take the time to think through the problem and find a solution that works best for you.  If you feel like you have mental blocks, don’t despair.  Instead, use these four steps to break through your walls and achieve success.
