The Four Ways to Break Through
1. Understand the challenge and truly see it how it is and not worse than what it is. Step back and view it from all sides.
So many of us are taking our problems or situations and blowing them up bigger than life; bigger than what they truly are. That‘s because as we begin to talk about it, we start thinking about it more, then we begin to add more and more to it until it becomes something that it‘s not. You know, you get all worked up over something or you get upset because things aren‘t working out the way you planned. Then you begin to process everything in your mind by playing the ―what ifs‖ over and over until it makes you sick, when all you had to do was begin to understand it. See it how it is and not worse than what it is. See it from all angles. We do this to ourselves over and over when we are facing a challenge. I call them challenges because problems seem too plain for me. You can call them whatever seems to be more accurate to you, but if I say, ―Oh, boy I’ve got a problem here‖ then I feel like I have nothing to gain by trying to solve it. On the other hand if I see things as a challenge then that means I‘m about to grow because I‘m going to challenge myself with this and I‘m really going to step up to the challenge. Try to understand the challenges you‘re facing day to day. See it how it is and don‘t make it worse than what it is. Simply step back and view it from all sides until you gain a clear view of what you‘re challenged with.
2. Find what influences you have around you currently that will get you to step up and take control of the challenge.
Do you have anyone around you who might have faced the same challenge or something similar to it? And they managed to turn that challenge around in a positive way. If you do, this is a person you can model from and gain influence and knowledge from. Also look around your environment. Is there anything there that can influence you to step up to the challenge, like looking at your children and knowing that if you step up you‘ve paved the way for them to do the same or so that they don‘t have to face the same challenges that you do? You might have made it a little
easier for them in the future. Maybe you‘re trying to lose weight or build muscle, you might notice someone working out or running up a large hill and that just sets you off in an upward direction to break through. Find the influences around you that enable you to break through what you are facing.
3. Know the value that the challenge holds.
Is it worth anything to you? What will you walk away with after stepping up to this challenge, not physically, but emotionally? Whether it is a problem or a goal we have challenged ourselves with, like losing a certain amount of weight or making a certain amount of money, in the end it‘s not about achieving or not achieving. It‘s about what we learned about ourselves and what we understood about the challenge. Finding that is more important than achieving the goal or not achieving the goal. If you didn‘t break through, then you know what doesn‘t work and you can begin to try again. If you did break through then you know what does work and now you know how you did it. Next time you can simply put yourself in that state of already achieving or breaking through by tapping into this emotion, like we discussed earlier in this chapter. Take these emotions and put them in the ―Now Box‖.
4. How can I get leverage to break through this challenge?
This is by far the most important way to break though, finding leverage. You can gain leverage by simply replacing your emotional connection to the challenge. Move out of fear, anxiety, stress and anger and move into passion, drive, focus and belief. I have a formula that I‘ve put together that has helped me in any challenge that I have been facing. It truly helps me gain leverage. It goes like this and you should write this down in your journal, but make sure you circle this one. This is something that I want you to go back to over and over again whenever you‘re facing a challenge. The Formula for Change Focus + Energy + Belief = Creation
When we focus on something, we begin to build energy from that focus. From that energy we start to build belief behind it.
