Where there is a Will there is Way

By: Paola Branas-Born

We all go through challenges in life, some have physical challenges of conquering Mount Everest, others have a marriage breakdown and their whole world crumbles. Some have health challenges that no matter what they do they are in the same situation as last year! Challenges are there for us to grow, adapt, get stronger, learn, accept and move on.

In a state of crisis we need to act, we become motivated to get to a safe place, as in a crisis our bodies are in a state of shock and movement is required, sometimes stress can mount to propelling us to do something! Not the ideal way to act, in reaction to something, but if you are in a crisis, like a car accident, your child is not safe, or we see no way out of our current dilemma, then your body takes over.

Often times we see no solution because we are in an unresourceful state, we dwell in the negatives, and catastrophize the end result and feel overwhelmed. We over analysise all the possible angles and then don’t do anything as a result because we start to doubt our abilities. If you find yourself in this state you need to change your energy so possible solutions come your way.

To get yourself out of that state simply change your physiology, jump up and down, clamp your hands or have a good scream, whatever it takes to change your energy, and then you can get going on your path. What can you do to get out of this situation? Do one thing; this action will push you forward.

It reminds me of a time when I really wanted to change my career, I was stuck in a rut as they say, focusing on the security of getting that pay packet each month. However I was fighting myself every Sunday night when the thought of going to work would make me feel tight in the stomach. I thought everybody went through this, and in time I got sick, I was over stressed and basically burned out. Not where I wanted to be. So I did something courageous, I quit, and that was the best day I ever had in ages, my stress levels lowered and I found my path, things started happening for me and I am still growing as a result of taking action. I smile more and I am more grounded. So I found a way to be more passionate at work and thus I am congruent with my goals and my purpose.

If you truly want something in your life, then you will find the solution, be open to new things and open minded, it’s amazing how changing your perspective keeps you fresh and open to new ways.
