Running Into Road Blocks At Every Turn

Jan. 6, 2016

Dear Cathy:

I would like to move forward and help people by doing my part in this world but I have been met with many road blocks, which have been like a bulldozer, so I don’t know which way to turn. How should I proceed from here? Road blocks, Connecticut

Dear Road Blocks:

The reason you have road blocks in your life is you have not sat down and wrote down what you really want out of your life. Now that it’s New Year this is important more than ever. Write down 5 to 10 things that you want to see accomplished this year and everyday that you get out of bed, you move in the direction of those goals.

When you write things down, it makes them real. Put the list somewhere where you will see it everyday such as on a bulletin board, refrigerator, bathroom wall or mirror, etc.

Before you can make anything happen in your life, you first have to visualize it so it’s important to take 20 to 30 minutes everyday to "meditate" - when you are lying in bed, on the floor, in a comfortable chair or in your car during lunch hours at work. While you mediate you can listen to music or just use this as a quiet time to organize your thoughts.

Are you hanging out with others that is stopping you from living your dreams? If you are hanging out with the wrong crowd, then you can forget moving forward so this is the time to reevaluate who you are hanging out with -- to see if you need to distance yourself away from them.

You can find some great new people in a meetup.com group so go to this website and look for health or business groups in your area and get around “co-dreamers” that will help you make your dreams come true.

Whether you write down your goals, take time out to meditate or get around co-dreamers, none of this will work if you have not put your health first, especially if you are not eating good brain foods.

We all learned in school that the brain affects every area of your body. So remember when your brain works right, you work right. Until you turn your brain back on, you will continue to run into road blocks.

Foods affects every area of your life, from your mood, to your behavior, happiness and entire quality of life so you need to be eating good, natural and organic foods, especially foods for your blood type so read the book “Eat Right 4 Your Type” and implement the 12 health steps into your life from my health book “How To Take Control of Your Own Life: A Self-Help Guide To Becoming Healthier Over the Next 30 Days" (available as an e-book and paperback book). 

In just 30 days, you can remove many road blocks from your own life, simply because you have rewired your brain to give you more options to take control of your own life.
