Obstacle thoughts: thoughts that are perceived obstacles to the goal or destination you want to achieve.
- Purpose, direction, and reason for what we are doing with our lives
- Without goals, there is no direction or movement and only stagnation
Obstacle thoughts strengthen themselves by providing evidence through your own actions
- Law of Attraction
- Frequency Bias or Illusion (Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon)
- Confirmation bias
Reticular Activating System - the idea that you see what it is your conscious and unconscious mind is looking for.
Through my actions, the thought becomes more believable the more I think it, fell it, and embody it.
How do we change this?
How do we do it?
You can not do this in your head!
- write it all down
- must be outside of your head
- as an external, separate thing
- obstacle thoughts are optional
When you are in a rush to overcome your current situation you miss out on the skill set that comes from overcoming your own current thinking.
In order to think differently, you have to know what you are thinking now.
- you have to know where you are
- where do I want to go
- what are the obstacles in between
The realizing and overcoming of the Obstacle Thought is the objective - not achieving the outcome!
