My Traveling Friend, have you ever faced a seemingly insurmountable obstacle and wondered how to conquer it? Maybe it was a career challenge, a personal struggle, or a goal that felt out of reach. Overcoming obstacles is a crucial skill that can and will transform yur life and lead you to success. But how exactly can you, my traveling friend, navigate these hurdles effectively?

Ready to emabrace the challenge and emerge stronger than ever? Then, let’s dive in!

Think about a time when you faced a major obstacle. What was your initial reaction, and how did you eventually overcome it?

What stategies did you use to overcome the obstacle, and what did you learn from that experience?

When someone tackles obstacles in a healthy manner, they often exhibit resilience, creativity, and perseverance. They don’t let setbacks define them but rather use them as steppingstones toward growth and achievement. Healthy overcoming of obstacles involves self-reflection, learning from mistakes, and maintaining a positive mindset throughtout the process.

Overcoming obstacles in a healthy manner offers a multitude of benefits that can significantly impact an individual’s life. First and foremost, it fosters personal rowth by challenging individuals to develop new skills, deepen self-awareness, and enance problem-solving abilities. This growth isn’t just about overcoming specific obstacles but also about evolving into a more resilient and adaptable person overall. Additionally, successfully navigating obstacles brings a profound sense of achievement, boosting confidence and motivation to tackle even greater challenges. It cultivates resilience, teaching individuals how to bounce back from setbacks stronger and more capable than before. Moreover, each obstacle conquered opens up new opportunities, expands networks, and broadens perspectives, ultimately leading to more fulfilling and meaningful life journey.

When it comes to overcoming obstacles, there are three commom mistakes that individuals often make. The first is ignoring the problem altogether, either out of fear, avoidance, or denial. By failing to acknowledge and adressing the obstacle, individuals hinder their progress and may find themselves stuck in a cycle of frustration. The second mistake is a lack of planning or strategy. Jumping into overcoming obstacles without a clear plan can lead to wasted effort, ineffective solutions, and unnecessary setbacks. Finally, negative self-talk and limiting beliefs can be significant barriers. Allowing negative thoughts to dominate can undermine confidence, motivation, and resilience, making it harder to overcome obstacles in a healthy and effective manner.

Imagine facing a daunting obstacle, feeling unsure of how to proceed. I’ve been there, and I understand the challenges firsthand. But with the right approach, you can turn challenges into steppingstones toward success. That’s why I want to share with you a 4 step startegy that has been a game-changer for me and my clients. It’s about breaking down barriers, crafting a plan that works for you, staying adaptable, and reaching out for support when needed. Here is the 4 step strategy to overcome obstacles:

  1. Define the Obstacle: Clearly identify the obstacle that you are facing and understand its impact on your goals.
  2. Create a Plan: Develop a step-by-step plan outlining how you will tackle the obstacle, including potential roadblocks and solutions.
  3. Stay Flexible: Be open to adjusting your plan as needed and embracing alternative approaches if initial strategies don’t yield results.
  4. Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to seek advice, guidance, or support from mentors, coaches, or peers who can offer fresh perspectives and encouragement.

My Weight Lost Journey: 2 Years and 82 Days

IMG_20160518_220451066[1]

Hey guys, I am back. I know that you all have been waiting to hear from me since my last video posting. And I have been trying to find the time to let you all know how my journey has been going, in spite of big life changing events. So, my 5k run/walk race is 10 days away (how time flies), and I have managed to make time to train for it. Not as often as I would have liked, but I have been getting in some training for the run. So, I know you all are wondering what type of exercises have I been doing to get ready for my run; since that was the topic of my video post. And I think you all will be a little surprised that my workouts don’t just consist of running.

My Weight Lost Journey: 694 Days-1Year 362 Days

Guys, I have so much to talk about that I don’t know where to start. So, I guess I should start at the beginning right? Right…. Well, guys I was laid off from my job of 11 years (Westwood College closed their doors). Continue reading “My Weight Lost Journey: 694 Days-1Year 362 Days”

Grieving

The grieving process is something that never stops. It might get easier, but the process never stops. How do I know one may ask? Well, I am still grieving the death of my mother. Evia D. Spight died in 2004; week before her 61st birthday, and I am still going through the grieving process. I thought by now I would be done grieving, but it wasn’t until I had my son that I realized that the process never stops. I find myself going through different phases of grief. And the phase that I am currently in now is anger. I am very angry with my mother for not fighting harder to live.


The definition of grief is a deep and poignant distress caused by or as if by bereavement; it is a cause  of such suffering; or an unfortunate outcome. And believe me when I say I feel the definition of grief almost everyday, now. The first few weeks were very hard, but as time went on the pain of losing my mother eased some. But when I got married and my family, including my mother, was not there to see it hurt me and I was sad again and wondering why did my mother, my best friend have to died before she got to see me get married. Then the pain of her death arose again when I got pregnant, and again when I had my son, and again every time I look at my son.

I am not in the sad phase at this time, I am angry with her because she just gave up. Medically, I understood what was going on with her body and I was amazed at what she was going through because at that time I was learning about cancer and the damage it can cause to the patient’s body. But at the same time I was hoping that she would be okay and that she would fight harder to stay around, but she had enough of this world and gave up. And now I am here 8 years later still struggling to understand why, and still trying to make it from day to day without talking to my best friend. There are so many things that I want to say to her, and I wish that she could have been there when I got married, found out I was pregnant, and had my first child. I wish she could have gotten the chance to meet her grandson Lee, and her son-in-law Lee. But she didn’t get the chance to do any of it and that makes me so mad.

The reason for this blog is not to just share my story, but to also let you know that you are normal if you are still grieving someone or something. And to let you know that it is okay to feel those emotions. The one thing that I have learned through pray and attending church is that your emotions are ever changing and that you should not react to every emotion because chances are it will change soon. I have also learned that joy really comes in the morning, so just be patient because it really is a never ending process. Feel the emotion and let it go, and know that it is okay to have those feelings just know that they are ever changing. If you have a similar story please share. Until next time….
