Break Through Barriers: The 3-Step Framework to Transform Your Life

Are you feeling stuck? You have a big goal or a dream you want to chase, but something keeps holding you back.

Maybe it's a negative thought, a difficult transition, or just feeling completely overwhelmed. A lot of us try to solve these problems by simply doing more, but we often miss the most crucial first step: awareness.

This isn't about judging yourself. It's about seeing your current situation clearly and becoming aware of your thoughts, emotional patterns, and where you are right now. My core philosophy at Life's Not Small is that you already have the tools within you to create the change you want. You just need a guide to help you uncover them.

I recently worked with a client who felt stuck in their career. They were doing everything they were "supposed to" but couldn't move forward. Through a simple process of self-discovery, they realized their biggest barrier wasn't a lack of skill but a deep-seated fear of failure that had been holding them back since childhood. Awareness helped them see that.

From Awareness to Action: The 3-A Framework

To help you on your journey, I've created a simple, powerful framework that you can start using today.

---

Step 1: Awareness

Start by asking yourself this simple journaling prompt: "What thoughts or beliefs might be limiting my progress right now?" This is your first step toward uncovering the real challenges, not just the symptoms.

---

Step 2: Alignment

Once you have awareness, you can begin to find alignment. This is where you connect the dots between your relationships, health, and professional life. It's about taking that newfound clarity and aligning your actions with your authentic self—the person you truly want to be, not who you think you should be. You'll start to see that you already have the solutions; you just need a clearer perspective to find them.

Step 3: Action

Finally, we translate that alignment into concrete action steps. These actions don't have to be massive; they just have to be real and consistent. This is where a coach can provide supportive accountability to help you discuss your plan, talk through different options, and create a path forward.
