By Lisa Woykin

If you ever ask yourself, "Why does this always happen to me? If you ever wonder why it is so difficult to make progress in your life or in your business go through the list below. Mark the issues that you feel connected with or what you struggle with the most and take this list with you for a week or two. At the end of each day write down what you noticed throughout the day. What negative patterns, repetitive thoughts or negative actions took place throughout the day.
You may notice certain people you interact with thorough the day cause you undue stress or frustration. There may be certain goals you set out to do and end of procrastinating and avoiding completing them. Certain situations at home or at work that cause you to complain often to your best friend or co-worker. Once you bring these patterns to your awareness take each situation and create an action plan. Be sure to create an action plan that battles each issue separately and one step at a time.
