Is there a reason that you can’t accomplish the goals that you set?
Yes — and it comes from a source that you usually think of as an ally: your mind… especially your subconscious mind.
When you have fears or concerns about what you believe it will take to achieve the goal, or about what will happen after you achieve that goal, you may sabotaging yourself in getting results.
When you have underlying thoughts like this, it’s no surprise that you’ve stopped pursuing, or at least slowed, in taking action on your goals!
To find out if you have any “goal stoppers”, ask yourself… ‘What’s the worst that could happen if I accomplished this goal?’ and ‘What will it cost me to achieve this goal?’
Make a complete list of your concerns about taking action to accomplish your goal, and of what might happen if you accomplished it. Actually write them down.
Some of your concerns may seem a bit far-fetched—even silly—when you put them down on paper, but some will feel very real.
The truth is, however, that those events you fear may or may not come to pass. We often scare ourselves by imagining negative outcomes to any activities we pursue or experience. If you’re stopped from moving towards your goal, you will never know what you could accomplish.
In order to move ahead powerfully, you’ll need to remove those fears.

Trying to talk yourself out of them is usually of limited usefulness, so I suggest using tapping, also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques.) It’s a powerful way to reduce those fears in no time.
